The Hyoid bone is actually one of three, the other two being the kneecaps. They are attached to ligaments which are attached to the thigh and shin, and we couldn’t bend our knees without them, but they are not connected to bones themselves. I learned that from Knee and Sports injury Doctor who treated my Mom’s broken kneecap.
