[0002] Knee joint is located between femur and tibia, mainly by two big bone ends of femur and tibia, patella and the posterior articular cartilage covered in femur and tibia end and patella is constituted, is connected by muscle, tendon, ligament and joint capsule package. Knee joint is the largest and most complex biomechanical joint of human body. It connects the longest bones of human body together, and has the largest joint cavity, the largest sesamoid bone (patella) and the largest joint capsule.

[0003] The physiological function of knee joint is mainly load-bearing function and movement function. Knee joint is the main load-bearing movement joint of human body, when human body is in standing position, it has the effect of supporting body weight without muscle contraction.

[0004] The movement characteristics of knee joint are determined by the shape of the bones constituting the joint and the guiding action of the ligaments. Mainly flexion and extension movement, with rotation movement in flexion position, and small range of passive movement of medial-lateral rotation.

[0009] Further, the fixed clamp and the positioning rod are slidably connected.

[0010] Further, the ear seat is further included, the ear seat has two, two ear seats are correspondingly fixed at the inner end of two positioning rods, and the two ear seats are rotatably connected through the pin shaft.

[0011] Further, the dial is fixed at the end of the pin shaft, and the center line of the dial is arranged to coincide with the axis of the pin shaft.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the knee joint weight-bearing inner and outer side stability precise evaluation device has the following advantages: one positioning rod corresponds to one scale on the dial, the other positioning rod corresponds to the other scale on the dial, and the maximum knee joint inner and outer side angular angle is obtained through the difference between the two scales, so that the error generated by using physical examination to evaluate when the patient is in bed is avoided, and the knee joint weight-bearing inner and outer side stability of the patient is precisely evaluated.
