Arthrology (LE) Flashcards
Sacrotuberous (attachments)
from posterior iliac spine and lateral margin of the sacrum to the ichial tuberosity
Sacrospinous (attachments)
from the ischial spine to lateral margin of the sacrum to the ischial tuberosity
Fibrous Joint Capsule (attachments)
from margin of the acetabulum to the neck, intertrochanteric line and intertrochanteric crest of femur
Iliofemoral (attachments)
from anterior inferior iliac spine to the intertrochanteric line of the femur
Iliofemoral (function)
limits extension of the femur on the acetabulum, limits external rotation of the femur
Pubofemoral (attachments)
from the iliopubic eminence and superior pubic ramus to the fibrous capsule
Pubofemoral (function)
limits abduction of the femur
Ischiofemoral (attachments)
From the ischium posterior to the acetabulum to the greater trochanter and iliofemoral ligament
Ischiofemoral (function)
Assists the iliofemoral ligmament in limiting extension of the femur
Ligamentum of the Head of the Femur (ligamentum teres)
from the fovea of the femoral head to the acetabular notch
Transverse acetabular lig. (attachments)
interconnects the margins of the acetabular notch
Fibrous capsule of knee (attachments)
from the margins of the femoral condyles to margins of the tibial condyle
Tibial (Medial) Collateral (attachments)
from the medial epicondyle of the femur to the medial condyle & shaft of the tibia deep to the sartorius and deep to the pes anserinus
Tibial (Medial) Collateral (function)
Stabilizes the medial aspect of the joint - resists valgus force at the tibiofemoral joint
Fibular (lateral) Collateral (attachments)
From the lateral epicondyle of the femur to the head of the fibula
Fibular (lateral) Collateral (function)
Stabilizes the lateral aspect of the joint, resist varus force at the tibiofemoral
Anterior Cruciate (attachments)
from medial part of the anterior intercondylar area of the tibia to the posterior part of the medial surface of the lateral condyle of the femur
Anterior Cruciate (function)
prevents posterior displacement of the femur on the tibia/prevents anterior displacement of the tibia on the femur, prevents hyperextension of the knee and limits rotation of the tibia on the femur
Posterior Cruciate (attachments)
from the posterior intercondylar area of the tibia to the lateral surface of the medial condyle of the femur
Posterior Cruciate (function)
Prevents the anterior displacement of the femur on the tibia/prevents the posterior displacement of the tibia on the femur
