Knee joint

A

The knee joint is the largest and most complex diarthosis of the body. It is also one of the more commonly injured joints in the body.
1) It is primarily a hinge joint, but when the knee is flexed, it is also capable of slight
rotation and lateral gliding movements

Q

Articular capsule of knee joint

A

The knee joint has an articular capsule that encloses on the medial, lateral, and posterior regions of the knee joint.
1) The joint capsule does not cover the anterior surface of the knee joint; rather, the
quadriceps femoris muscle tendon passes over the anterior surface.
2) The patella, which we learned earlier is a sesamoid bone, is embedded within this
tendon, and the “patellar ligament” extends inferiorly to the patella and attaches
on the anterior surface of the tibia (at tibial tuberosity).
3) Thus, there is no single unified capsule in the knee, nor is there a common
synovial cavity.

Q

Lcl

A

The “lateral (fibular) collateral ligament” (LCL) reinforces the lateral surface of the
knee joint.
- This ligament runs from the femur to the fibula and prevents the lower leg from
moving too far medially relative to the thigh.
- Your authors refer to the lateral collateral ligament as preventing
“hyperadduction” of the lower leg relative to the thigh.
- An alternate term to hyperadduction of the lower leg is “varus deviation”, which
means the part distal to the joint is abnormally angulated towards the midline of
the body.

MCL

A

The “medial (tibial) collateral ligament” (MCL) reinforces the medial surface of the
knee joint.
- This ligament runs from the femur to the tibia and prevents the lower leg from
moving to far laterally relative to the thigh.
- Your authors refer to the medial collateral ligament as preventing
“hyperabduction” of the lower leg relative to the thigh.
- An alternative term to hyperabduction of the lower leg is “valgus deviation”,
which means the part distal to the joint is abnormally angulated away from the
midline of the body.
- The medial collateral ligament is attached to the medial meniscus (see discussion
below) of the knee joint as well, so an injury to the medial collateral ligament
usually affects the medial meniscus

Q

C-shaped Fibrocartilage pads

A

2) Deep to the articular capsule and within the joint itself is a pair of C-shaped
fibrocartilage pads located on the condyles of the tibia which are called the “medial meniscus” and the “lateral meniscus”.
(a) These fibrocartilage pads help stabilize the joint medially and laterally and act as
cushions between the articular surfaces.

Q

Cruciate ligaments

A

(a) These ligaments cross each other in the form of an “X”, hence the name cruciate.
(b) The “anterior cruciate ligament” (ACL) runs from the posterior femur to the anterior side of the tibia.
- When the knee is extended, the ACL is pulled tight (taut) and prevents hyperextension.
- The ACL prevents the tibia from moving too far anteriorly of the femur.
(c) The “posterior cruciate ligament” (PCL) runs from the anterioinferior femur to the
posterior side of the tibia.
- The PCL becomes taut on flexion, and so it prevents hyperflexion of the knee
joint.
- The PCL also prevents the tibia from moving too far posteriorly of the femur.

Q

Locking the knee

A

1) Humans are bipedal animals, meaning that they walk on two feet.
2) An important aspect of bipedal locomotion is the ability to “lock” the knees in the
extended position and stand erect without tiring the leg muscles.
3) At full extension, the tibia rotates laterally so as to tighten the ACL and squeeze
the meniscus between the tibia and femur.

Talocrural joint

A

articular facets of the talus

Q

Muscle fibers characteristics

A

a. Excitability, which means it responds to electrical stimuli.
b. Contractility, which means it contracts to move bones or propel materials inside the
body.
c. Elasticity, which means the muscle cell will recoil to its resting length when the
applied tension is removed.
d. Extensibility, which means a muscle cell is capable of extending in length in response
to the contraction of opposing muscle cells (i.e.- the triceps brachii muscle on the back of your arm extends when the biceps brachii muscle on the front of your arm contracts).
