Functional Anatomy. The stifle is the largest of all joints in the equine and has the most elaborate of all the articulations1. The stifle is also known as the tibial femoral joint in the horse.Due to anatomical structure of the stifle, and its location, it is the weakest joint of the horse. The stifle joint is made up of four bones the femur, the tibia, the patella and a remnant fibula.The fibula is a non-functional bone that is fused onto the tibia.natomically this joint corresponds to the knee joint in humans. For treatment of the human knee in physical therapy it is well established that the quadriceps muscle plays a pivotal role in the alignment of the patella for proper knee function. The same is true of the horse.
