Why would a ball-and-socket joint at the knees create problems for walking?

There is not a ball and socket joint at the knee. It is a complex hinge joint. The knee joint begins to wear out from walking and carrying most of our weight. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.
