Which type of nerve fiber innervate the joint?

A

Afferent-sensory

34
Q

What is the Primary Artery that supplies the knee?

40
Q

What is the definition of “Unlocking of the knee joint”?

A

The early stage of flexion of the knee joint

41
Q

What is the mechanism of “Unlocking of the knee joint”?

A

The leg is medially rotated and the thigh is laterally rotated

42
Q

What muscle(s) produce “Unlocking of the Knee joint”?

A

Popliteus muscles

–Semimembranosus and Semitendinosus and Gracilis assist the popliteus

43
Q

What is Screw Home Mechanism?

A

-During the last 15-20° of knee extension with the foot free, the tibia rotates externally and “locks” into extension.
-When the knee extends with the foot planted, the femur internally rotates and “locks” into extension

The Popliteus muscle “unlocks” the knee by either externally rotating the femur if the foot is planted (closed chain) or by internally rotating the tibia with the foot is free (Open chain)

44
Q

What is the direction of Patellar tracking with Genu Valgum?

A

Laterally
-Also called Knock knee deformity

45
Q

What is the direction of Patellar tracking with Genu Varum?

A

Medially
-Bowing of the legs

46
Q

What is Coxa Vara?

A

The angle formed by the line through the middle of the femoral head to the shaft being less than 125°

47
Q

Where is the mechanical stress with Coxa Vara?

A

On the medial structures, this results in Genu Valgum

48
Q

What is Coxa Valga?

A

The Angle formed by the line through the middle of the femoral head to the shaft being more that 140°

49
Q

Where is the mechanical stress with Coxa Valga?

A

On the lateral structures, this causes Genu Varum

50
Q

What is the Unhappy Triad of knee injures?

A
