Joints 2 Flashcards
Carrying angle male and female why
More pronounced in female due to wider set hips / pelvis
Males 10-15
Women above 15
What’s the Q angle
Femoral shaft proximal end pushed out laterally by femoral neck so shaft passes inferomedially

Similarities with humerus and femur
Both have lateral and medial epicondyle on heir condylar processes
Humerus articulation
Humerus articulates withbradial head laterally
Articulates with hook shaped olecranon and Coronoid processes of ulna medially
Function of patella
Prevent dislocation during knee extension - quadriceps
Consequences of patella

Radial head
Coronoid process
What joints are required for supination and probation
Superior and inferior radioulnar joints
Where does fibrous capsule of elbow attach
Articular margins as including the superior radioulnar joint, fossae radial, Coronoid and olecranon
Where are ligaments absent and present in elbow
Strengthened by lateral and medial ligaments
No anterior or posterior ligaments
What holds the radial head in place
Anular ligament - allows rotatory movement for supination and pronation
Pulled elbow
When radial head dislocated from annular ligament (children)
Elbow ligaments
Radial collateral ligament - lateral epicondyle to anular ligament
Ulnar collateral ligament - triangle - 2 strong medial epicondyle to cornoid process and
1 weaker posterior oblique band to olecranon
Pulled elbow association
Dislocated elbow with fractured olecranon is common
What’s subluxation
Comes away from annular ligament downwards motion
What’s dislocation of elbow look like
Away from annular ligament and pulling to the side
What is knee dependent on for stability
Muscles
Where does fibrous capsule of knee attach
Articular margins
Ligaments of knee
Lateral collateral ligament
Medial collateral ligament
Crucifer ligaments in middle
Menisci inside the actual joint
Anteriorly fibrous capsule replaced by
Quadriceps tendon (patellar ligament) and patella also augmented by iliotibial tract and by patellar retinacular from quadriceps
Posterior knee joint
Fibrous capsule thin augmented by oblique popliteal and acruate ligaments inferior to which is an opening in capsule for tendon of popliteus
Collateral ligaments of knee
Lateral - lateral epicondyle to head of fibula
Not fused to joint capsule
Medial - medial epicondyle to tibia condyle, superior and medial surfaces
Fused to joint capsule and meniscus
Which ligaments are and aren’t fused to knee joint capsule
Lateral fibular collateral ligament not fused
Medial tibial collateral ligament fused to joint capsule and meniscus
Injury to which knee ligament more common
Tibial medial collateral ligaments and medial meniscus are more common
Knee injury takes up to year to heal fully
Bursae of the knee
Suprapatellar
Prepatellar
What are alar folds
Over fat pads and has synovial fold
What is inside the knee joint
Cruiciate ligaments and infrapatellar fat pads
Infrapatellar synovial fold
Inside fibrous capsule
Cruciate ligaments
X
PREVENTS ANTEROPOSTERIOR DISPLACEMENT OF FEMUR AND ACTS AS PIVOT FOR ROTATORY MOVEMENTS
anterior Cruciate job
Up, back and lat
Prevents anterior movement of tibia (drawer test) and hyperextension
Posterior cruciate job
Up, forwards and medial
Prevents anterior movement of femur such as when walking downstairs
What are menisci
Medial and lateral crescents of fibrocartilage which give congruence for femur on tibia, shock absorption and proprioception
Attachment of menisci
Tips attach to tibia and edges fuse to joint capsule (vascular supply only to periphery)
How do menisci move as femur rotates and glides on tibia
Move anteriposteriorly
Medial meniscus attachments
LARGER
attaches to tibial collateral ligament
Limited movement so more easily injured
Lateral meniscus attachments
SMALLER
Circular attaches to capsule but NOT LIGAMENT
Why!
Because fibular collateral ligament is pulled out way by its attachment to the popliteus
What’s the unhappy triad
Stuck from side car bumper with knee extended
Ruptures anterior cruciate ligament, tibial medial collateral ligament and medial meniscus
What’s the common flexor origin
Medial epicondyle
Brachioradialis attachment nerve function
Radial nerve C6
Lateral supracondylar ridge of humerus and distal radius
Elbow flex powerful in mid prone position
Flexors of elbow joint are
Brachialis and biceps brachaii
Brachialis
Distal anterior humerus to Coronoid process of ulna
Musculocutaneous nerve (radial) C567
Biceps brachii
Scapula (long head to supraglenoid tubercle, short head to coracoid process) and to bicpital uberosity as well as ulna via the bicipital aponeurosis
Supination and flexion of elbow when supinated
Musculocutaneous nerve 567
Extension of elbow
Triceps
Lateral medial and long head
Long head of tricpes
Infraglenoid tubercle
Dislocation of abducted shoulder prevents. To olecranon
Lateral head of triceps

What is the kicking muscle

3 Vasari from Linea aspera and shaft of femur
Femoral nerve l2 3 4
What is knee joint stability depent on
Quadriceps
What happens in final stages of extension
Femur rotates medially around pivot of cruciate ligaments to screw knee into stable close packed position
Rectus fermosis turns into
Vastys intermedius with vastus medialis and vastus lateralis at each side of the knee joint
What can Q angle cause and how is to prevented
Pulls patella and dislocates laterally
Prevented by anterior prominence of lateral femoral condyle and by lower fibres of vastus medialis which fibres from state to medial side of patella
