Technically, your knee is not comprised of just one bone. It's a joint, which allows movement. The femur and then the tibia and fibula meet under the kneecap, which is known as the patella.
There are arteries, veins and nerves that are located alongside and on top of the knee joint. If these are injured in any way, it is a surgical emergency, and could possibly lead to death. The purpose of the patella is to protect the arteries, veins and nerves, and in turn, protecting a person's life.

∙ 13y agoIt could be Sinding-Larsen-Johansson syndrome or Osgood-Schlatter disease but it hasen't gone away I have had it for 3-4 years and I am 18 now. The slightest bump or intense training hurts and makes me limp for days also my ankle and knee clicks constantly and just before my ankle clicks I cant move it's like it gets stuck, I dont know if it has anything to do with it.
