Q

The (blank) grip the talus tightly as it rocks in the mortise during movement. Which surface of the talus is wider and why is this significant?

A

malleoli grip
the anterior surface, significant because when you dig your heels in (dorsiflexion) it will wedge this wider anterior part of the talus mortise which will cause it to be tight and stable. this is why the joint is most stable when you dig your heels in

A 
long plantar ligament
short plantar ligament
spring ligament (aka calcaneonavicular ligament)
44

the long plantar ligament

46
Q

the (blank) ligament attaches to the calcaneous and goes to the cuboid.

short plantar ligament

47
Q

Tell me about flatfootedness

A

before age 3 it is completely normal due to thick fat pad in the sole. Typically the foot will look normal without weight but then when you put weight on it, it will become flat footed.

provides for a lot of movement (i.e its baggy)

52
Q

The intercondylar fossa is the site of two (blank) ligaments which are more specifically called what?

A

intracapsular ligaments.

the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments

53
Q

Since the condyles of the femur are round and the tibia has tibial plateaus that are flat articulate with this, what does this mean for the knee joint?

A

that only a small amount of the condyle is touching the plateau at any given time which means this lack of contact will make for a very loosely packed joint.

54
Q

What is significant about going from flexion to extension at the knee joint?

A

you will continue medial rotation but stop lateral rotation so you will have slight medial rotation at locked knee

55
Q

What attaches to gerdy’s tubercle?

A

the IT band

56
Q

What is the platellar ligament an extension of and where does this attach?

A

the platellar tendon

the fabella

60
Q

the connection between the inferior aspect of the patella and the tibial tuberosity has a specific distance that never does what? What does it do?

A 
changes
Changes tension (that is put on the quadriceps)
61
Q

What is the main reason we have a platella?

A

to increase the power, fulcrom of the quadriceps

62
Q

What are the five ligaments of the knee joint?

capsular, intracapsular, extracapsular

64
Q

What is an extracapsular ligament of the knee joint?

A

fibular collateral ligament

65
Q

What is a capsular ligament of the knee joint because it attaches to the medial mensiscus

66
Q

Which ligament of the knee joint will prevent genuovarus movement?

A

the fibular collateral ligament (lateral ligament)

67
Q

Which ligament of the knee joint will prevent genovalgus movement?

A

the tibial collateral ligament (medial ligament)

68
Q

What is the q angle?

A

it is the difference between straight down from your pelvis through to the tibia (axis of rotation) and the axis which the femur runs

69
Q

Who has a bigger q angle, women or men?

A

women because they have wider hips

70
Q

If you have a very large q angle what will your stance be like?

A

you will have valgus stance

71
Q

What way do the quadriceps tend to pull at the knee cap?

A

laterally

72
Q

How can you replicate the orientation of the PCL and ACL with tow fingers?

A

Cross your third finger over your second and place them on your knee and this is the orientation of the ACL (top finger) and PCL (remember to go from front to back)

73
Q

Does the knee joint undergo abduction or adduction? Which ligaments prevent this?

A

Neither!
abduction ->medial collateral (tibial collateral ligament)
adduction -> lateral collateral (fibular collateral ligament)

74
Q

How does the ACL travel? What does it function in?

A

travels anterior medial of the tibia to posterior lateral of the femur
-> it prevents anterior displacement of the tibia

75
Q

How does the PCL travel? What does it function in?

A

posterior lateral of tibia to anterior medial of femur

-> it prevents posterior displacement of the tibia

76
Q

If you are running and you suddenly stop, what prevents your femur from sliding forward?

A

your PCL

77
Q

Which is stronger the PCL or ACL?

A

PCL

78
Q

Why is ACL commonly damaged?

A

cuz of the types of hits people take (typically anterior medial hits)

79
Q

What is this:

C-shaped; firmly attached to tibial collateral ligament; vulnerable to injury

A

medial meniscus

80
Q

What is this:

O-shaped; not attached to fibular collateral ligament; distinctly mobile; horns of menisci are attached to bone of tibia

A

lateral meniscus

81
Q

Which one is bigger the lateral or medial meniscus? Why is this significant?

A

the medial cuz it allows for more lateral rotation

because when you knee is fully flexed you get more lateral rotation when your knee is flexed

82
Q

The tibial collateral ligament is also called the (blank)

A

Medial collateral ligament (MCL)

83
Q

What are baker cysts/ popliteal cysts?

A

popliteal cysts are fluid-filled herniations of the synovial membrane of the knee joint

84

A

the tibial nerve

86
Q

What muscles cross the knee joint posteriorly ?

90
Q

What artery passes by the acetabulum?

A

the obturator artery

91
Q

When is the femur the strongest and closest to the acetabulum?

in full extension (cuz you wind your ligaments tighter)

92
Q

The hip joint is a tight packed joint, why is this?
What are the ligaments called that do this?
Which of the ligaments is the strongest?

A

because of the capsular ligaments which are the ileofemoral, ischicalfemoral and pubofemoral

iliofemoral ligament (its what you rest on)

93
Q

What is the main blood supply to the femur?

A

from the medial and lateral femoral circumflex

94
Q

ligaments of the joint capsule of the hip joint tighten in (blank) and loosen in (blank)

A

extension

flexion

95
Q

When do you get a hip dislocation?

A

really rare, but will happen in MVAs when you hip joint is flexed, adducted and medially rotated (as if you are driving in a car)

96
Q

What can a broken hip compromise?

A

the blood supply can be compromised to the femoral neck and head resulting in avascular necrosis

97
Q

What is a broken hip?

A

the fracture of the femoral head

98
Q

When does bone density decrease yearly?

Where do you first see this?

A

after age 40 (both male and female).

in the femoral neck
