Area of Science:

  • Anatomy
  • Medical Imaging
  • Anthropology

Background:

  • Human lower limb anatomy is crucial for understanding biomechanics and orthopaedic conditions.
  • Existing anatomical data may not fully capture the nuances of knee joint variations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To document human knee alignment across various rotations.
  • To define the topographical features of knee joint surfaces.
  • To explore the utility of advanced medical photography in anatomical studies.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Spitalfields collection of human skeletons at the Natural History Museum, London.
  • Employed specialized photographic techniques to capture detailed knee joint morphology.
  • Collaborated between Medical Illustration and orthopaedic surgical teams.
