CONT

Selon le type d'articulation choisi, le mouvement est libre ou limité dans certains secteurs d'amplitude. L'articulation peut être simple, polycentrique avec ou sans engrenage, à butée ou à ressort inclus ou non dans la jointure mécanique.

CONT

Le tiroir antérieur est jugulé par l'appui de la tubérosité tibiale antérieure sur l'embrasse jambière. Des sangles ou un appui sous-rotulien peuvent compléter cette action. L'utilisation d'une articulation de type polycentrique permet d'obtenir un mouvement de glissement-roulement presque physiologique.
