title: [Internal physiologic pressure of the knee joint].
abstract: The internal pressure of the knee joint was read in 50 volunteers. The pressure is dependent on position and load whereas rotation has no influence on the intraarticular pressure of the joint. Under load and flexion of 90 degrees and more the pressure readings increase considerably. Lasting pressure has a damaging effect on the cartilage of the joint.
