THIS is how I learn most about any difficult science, Dr. Randale Sechrest. Straightforward, lecture-tone, layer by layer visuals. I hope you still have the time and inspiration to make more. You are helping many of us so much, especially the injured,, thank you, stay safe. 👏
I'm a ski patroller and often encounter acute knee problems. I really appreciate the work you put into this video. It is clear, concise and complete and helps me better understand the steps I take in knee exams.
Please keep this going. No exaggeration, but this is the best video I've ever seen on the internet. My top 3! Love how you explained a bit of terminology and the pace, animation, etc was spot on. I am now spending my Sunday looking for more of your videos. I'm a runner and run coach and this will help me explain more clearly what happens during a run gait. Keep it going!!!
I'm currently troubleshooting my knee injury and this video was extremely helpful in helping me understand my anatomy better. You explained it very simply and clearly and the visualisations helped a ton as well. Thank you very much, Sir!
+Ellie Alavi I can't agree with you more, Ellie! I have long searched for a simple, clear, straightforward explanation of the knee anatomy... and at long last, here it is! I am very grateful to Randale Sechrest, MD. (Thank you, Dr. Sechrest!!!)
+Cindy Black Detailed, yet clar and concise BUT I believe there is a very long vein, called the Great Saphenus (sp) vein; it runs through the knee somewhere and is the longest vein in the body.
Cheers for the video content! Sorry for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you considered - Dinanlinson Rocky Position Approach (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is an awesome one of a kind guide for learning how to fix chronic knee pain minus the normal expense. Ive heard some great things about it and my friend Sam finally got amazing results with it.
@Ellie Great Video clip! Forgive me for chiming in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you researched - Chireetler Shape Creation Rule (search on google)? It is a good exclusive product for decreasing your knee pain minus the hard work. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate at very last got astronomical results with it.
This is a perfect refresher for certification exams, and great for providing visual aides in any anatomy learner. I LOVE that it is detailed enough to allow me to communicate with Ortho professionals when consulting, yet it is concise and brief enough to keep my studying efficient -- plus it doesn't bore me to tears. I am sharing on my social media site for EMS and ER providers...
Hey I just wanted to say that all these anatomy videos are fantastic and extremely useful. I am a student at UC Berkeley and I've been using these videos as a supplement, even though at times they feel like a main lesson compared to the lectures here! Thank you so much for creating these.
This video is amazing. I am 46 years old and an avid basketball player along with other sports. I have never had any knee issues and I have only heard of others with knee problems and I have heard all of the terms that you used in the video. I have watched it 3 or 4 times and it is an amazing video that really helps me understand the operation of a knee. Thanks!!!
@@SpitFireLocknKey "only made accessible to few" The information was never restricted, it was always there in books you could have read but you didn't want to put to effort to, because you thought it had it be easy. Being a doctor is not about the knowledge, but about the reasoning within the gargantuan amount of interacting factors. Even having the knowledge, your judgement requires enough intelligence to implement the solutions you have studied. You sure make mistakes on daily bases and say "oops". You cannot do that with a patient. There is no "undone" button. Why would you deserve to be licenced as a doctor just because you feel like you have the knowledge? (which you probably wouldn't have the patience to acquire anyway). I celebrate knowledge and people being informed, but don't get carried away believing you can become a professional of a science that involves life and death with barely no effort. That is arrogant, delusional and insulting to the medical profession (besides cringy believing it was "restricted", when you could have bought those books as any other person)
Cristian Proust i agree 100 percent its never easy having a license to life of another human being ...one thing to remember, first of all do no harm " primum nil nocere"..,
I agree that it's an excellent video but the knee seems to terribly designed. No engineer would make a hinge joint by lashing stress bearing components together!
I found this tutorial very helpful. As a visual learner, I appreciate the graphics and the simple way in which you explain MS anatomy. I am a nurse practitioner student in Spokane and your tutorials are of the best that I have been able to find. Thank you very much. Look forward to others.
well explained! Thank you so much! It was very hard to digest and remember when I read on webMD and went thru couple of anatomy pictures. This explains very well almost in a demo form.
Thanks a lot sir for explaining such an amazing subject . Since last months I'm feeling difficult to read knee joint now I can remember & recall it well during exams . Amazing graphics very clear voice . thank-you sir once again this is the best knee tutorial on RU-vid 👍
Thank you for this tutorial. I recently tore my quadriceps tendon, and had the repair three weeks ago. Though the doctor/surgeon explained it (tear and repair) thoroughly to me, this video gives clarification on what and where the damage is.
I can't thank you enough. I injured my knee (reoccurring injury) while living overseas. This video helped me to explain my injuries to my non-English speaking Doc. Again, thank you. Edit: 5 months later I'm using this video again, same injury. Subscribed and bookmarked!
Excellent explanation on the anatomy and physiology of the knee! This is very helpful. It was helpful that you spoke slowly to coincide with picture movements. Thanks so much!! Great video!!
Very helpful and clear explanation of the knee! Doing a project in anatomy and physiology on the knee, and am able to learn much better step by step in this video, thank you!
I am trying to learn about certain knee injuries. Without exaggeration this is the best video on anatomy I have ever seen. Thank you so much for your hard work.
Excellent video. I know now why I have problems with pain after my total knee replacement. There is swelling above my patella where the muscle is. The pain I have is right in front of the proximal tibia where the muscle from the patella inserts into the tibia. Everytime I step on that leg I get pain there. So there is something wrong. My doctor stated maybe it was referring pain from my back. But I see now that this would tend to be where the sciatica nerve is and I don't have pain there. I also don't have pain where the nerves are. It is very simple using the anatomy of the knee to help me help the doctor to figure out what is going on. Thank you.
The fibrous structure connecting the inferior pole of the patella to the tibia is more accurately referred to as the patellar LIGAMENT (remember, bone to bone) not tendon.
It is actually the tendon insertion of the quadriceps. The patella is a sesamoid sitting inside the patella TENDON. So strictly speaking it is not going from bone to bone. Small point, but require accuracy
Wow, this wonderful understanding of the knee really helps me understand all the pains in my knees. I'm quite certain that my problem goes beyond worn out cartilage. Thank you so much for knowledge.
@Eyre Borne Lunges often are performed with bad technique and thus creates unstable pressure on the knee, particularly when fatigued. This can lead to poor mechanics and eventual injury.
You have a gift for explaining in ordinary language a substantial amount of theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee mechanics of the knee. Like most great teachers, you've got the common touch and know what to put upfront. [That glossary medial= "toward s the mid-line," etc] is actually really useful to almost everybody, and even specialists might benefit from the translation, since it might help THEM when they talk to patients]. And the explanation of how the two menisci actually spread the force and stabilize the transfer of weight from the thigh-bone's paired knobby 'feet" onto the flat tibial plateau makes it very easy to understand how there'd be a problem if there were to be a tear in a meniscus. Thank you. I'm a Pilates teacher and it will help ME a lot when I try to get new clients to understand why it's bad for them to have the knees falling towards each other instead of directly in line between the hip and the ankle. More power to you!
Your videos are incredible. I've always been a visual learner, which is difficult when you're doing online school from a textbook, and no teacher. Your videos have helped me tremendously. I also love the way you say "bones". Thanks a million!
I have a knee injury and this video helped me alot. I also realised how many mistakes i made that got me injured. As far as the anatmoy of the knee I could say God is a bad designer :)
Excellent example of engineering and creative design. Anyone who thinks that there is no intelligence behind life, just simply doesn't think about it, or they are in denial. Complex mechanical machines are designed and created, they don't build themselves. I don't care if you're talking about a man made machine, or an animal. This is not a religious comment either, religion follows the same premise, making up stories to explain life.
***** I for one don't believe there's any intelligence behind life. I've thought about it in great detail (to the point of having a Ph.D. in Evolutionary Anthropology). I'm certainly not in denial, it's just that all the science points away from there being a "creator". I'd recommend reading this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Out_of_Eden
***** How would you join two large long load supporting bones, and to allow 180 degree movement ? Hydraulics? Hinges? Nuts and bolts? Unfortunately you're comparing biological design, to your knowledge of man made design, using man made material. Did the school you paid to teach you how to create things, also teach logical thinking?
Excellent Video, not only for a Orthopedic practitioner but also good for a common man like me... had met with an accident and wanted to know more about it... Thanks
Very good explanation. I broke both fibula and tibia in both legs (compound too!) and have since had to have a total knee replacement on the left side 5 years ago. I have this strange fascination with reading my medical procedure transcripts (and they are quite interesting, especially the ones from the accident) and these video's help immensely in understanding what I am reading. Subbed.
Wonderful! Thank you so much. I'm doing a yoga teacher training and this video has really helped me to understand the anatomy of the knee, even when my textbooks have left me confused!
