Exam 3: Lower limb contd lecture iii Flashcards
knee joint: extracapsular ligaments: fibular (lateral) collateral ligament: origin
from lateral epicondyle of femur
knee joint: extracapsular ligaments: fibular (lateral) collateral ligament: insertion
to head of fibula
knee joint: extracapsular ligaments: fibular (lateral) collateral ligament: it and the tibial collateral ligament are taut when when the knee is _
the knee is extended, aiding stability while standing
knee joint: extracapsular ligaments: fibular (lateral) collateral ligament: as flexion proceeds, it and the tibial collateral ligament become increasingly _
slack, permitting and limiting (serving as check ligaments for) knee rotation
knee joint: extracapsular ligaments: tibial (medial) collateral ligament: origin
from medial epicondyle
knee joint: extracapsular ligaments: tibial (medial) collateral ligament: insertion
to superior, medial tibia
knee joint: extracapsular ligaments: tibial (medial) collateral ligament: at its midpoint, its deep fibers are attached to the
medial meniscus
knee joint: extracapsular ligaments: oblique popliteal ligament: expansion of the tendon of _
semimembranosus
knee joint: extracapsular ligaments: oblique popliteal ligament: origin
from joint capsule near lateral femoral condyle
knee joint: extracapsular ligaments: oblique popliteal ligament: insertion
to just posterior to medial tibial condyle
knee joint: intra-articular ligaments (inside fibrous capsule of knee joint): anterior cruciate ligament: origin
from anterior intercondylar area of tibia
knee joint: intra-articular ligaments (inside fibrous capsule of knee joint): anterior cruciate ligament: insertion
to medial side of lateral femoral condyle
knee joint: intra-articular ligaments (inside fibrous capsule of knee joint): anterior cruciate ligament: prevents _ displacement of the femur on the tibia and _ of the joint
posterior displacement, hyperextension
knee joint: intra-articular ligaments (inside fibrous capsule of knee joint): posterior cruciate ligament: origin
from posterior intercondylar area of tibia
knee joint: intra-articular ligaments (inside fibrous capsule of knee joint): posterior cruciate ligament: insertion
to lateral side of medial femoral condyle
knee joint: intra-articular ligaments (inside fibrous capsule of knee joint): posterior cruciate ligament: prevents _ displacement of the femur on the tibia and helps prevent _ of the knee joint
anterior displacement, hyperflexion
the 2 cruciate ligaments are w/in the _ but outside of the _
w/in the joint capsule but outside of the synovial cavity
the 2 cruciate ligaments wind around each other during _, severely limiting this movement
medial tibial rotation (considerably more lateral rotation is allowed)
in every knee position, one cruciate ligament, or parts of one or both ligaments, is _
tense
knee joint: menisci: medial meniscus: its anterior end (horn) is attached to the _, anterior to the _ ligament
anterior intercondylar area of the tibia, anterior to the ACL
knee joint: menisci: medial meniscus: its posterior end is attached to the _, anterior to the _ ligament
posterior intercondylar area of the tibia, anterior to the PCL
knee joint: menisci: medial meniscus: it also attaches to the _ ligament
tibial collateral ligament
