The answer is: the tibia.

Explanation: In the knee joint, the femur (thigh bone) articulates with the tibia (shin bone) and the patella (kneecap). The tibia is the larger and stronger of the two bones in the lower leg and bears most of the body's weight. The patella is a small, triangular bone that protects the knee joint and improves the leverage of the thigh muscles.

Summary: In the knee joint, the femur articulates with the tibia and the patella.
