These bones are kept together by strong ligaments and muscles for normal functioning of the knee joint as it is the joint which bears the weight of the body.The ends participating in the joint are covered with cartilage, so that the surface of the bones should not rub with each other. The joint cavity is lined by a membrane called as the synovium, which secretes an oily synovial fluid into the joint and allows smooth movement of the thigh bone with shin bone and knee cap.
