23
Q

tibial collateral ligament (MCL)

A

extracapsular. flat, triangular band. attaches to the edge of medial meniscus and joint capsule. connects medial femoral condyle to medial shaft of tibia. prevents valgus stress.

24
Q

fibular collateral ligament (LCL)

A

extracapsular. connects lateral femoral condyle to fibular head. does not contact meniscus. lateral surface of tib/fib joint. protects knee in flexion and varus stress.

25
Q

intracapsular ligaments of the knee joint

A

anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments (ACL, PCL), medial and lateral meniscus, coronary ligament, transverse ligament, posterior meniscofemoral ligament

26
Q

anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)

A

intracapsular but extrasynovial. posterolateral from anterior tibia (intercondylar area) to posterior femur (medial surface of lateral condyle). runs obliquely. limits hyperextension of knee. prevents anterior displacement of tibia on femur.

27
Q

posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)

A

intracapsular but extrasynovial. runs anteromedial from posterior tibia (intercondylar area) to anterior femur (lateral surface of medial condyle). runs more vertically than ACL. thicker and stronger than ACL. prevents posterior displacement of tibia on femur.

28
Q

medial and lateral menisci

A

Fibrocartilage articular discs on tibia. Semi lunar shape but medial is more open (c-shaped) than lateral. Medial meniscus is more fixed, therefore more commonly injured. Provides stability (deepens knee joint). Helps with shock absorption + force distribution. Joint lubrication.

29
Q

Transverse ligament of knee

A

Intracapsular. Supports meniscus. Connects anterior horns of medial + lateral menisci

30
Q

Coronary/meniscotibial ligament

A

Intracapsular. Supports meniscus. Anchors the lateral rim of each meniscus to the tibia and joint capsule.

31
Q

Posterior meniscofemoral ligament

A

Intracapsular. Supports meniscus. Connects lateral meniscus to medial condyle of femur near the PCL

32
Q

Anterior bursa of knee

A

Prepatellar, infrapatellar, suprapatellar, semimembranous

33
Q

Which 3 ligaments are affected by the unhappy triad injury

A

Acl, mcl, medial meniscus- lateral blow to knee with foot planted.

34
Q

Q-angle

A

Frontal plane angle between femur and tibia shafts

35
Q

Which bones does calcaneus articulate with

A

Superiorly between calcaneus and talus (subtalar joint). Anteriorly between calcaneus and cuboid (part of transverse tarsal joint)

36
Q

articular surfaces of calcaneus

A

Anterior (cuboid), posterior (calcaneal/achilles tendon attaches), superior (3 articular facets for the talus separated by the calcaneal sulcus/ sinus tarsi). Inferior ( weight bearing tuberosity w/ anterior, medial, and lateral tubercle /process). Medial (sustentaculum tali/talar shelf- spring ligament attaches). lateral (peroneal tubercle separates peroneus longus and brevis tendons)

37
Q

Which bones form the ankle joint

A

Talus articulates superiorly with tibia and fibula to form the ankle joint.
