joints and ligaments Flashcards
ligaments of sacroiliac joint
- anterior sacroiliac
- interosseous and posterior sacroiliac ligaments
- sacrospinous ligament
- sacrotuberous ligament
anterior sacroiliac ligament
- anterior part of fibrous synovial capsule to auricular surfaces of sacrum and ilium
interosseous and posterior sacroiliac ligaments
- from tuberosity and posterior surface of sacrum to tuberosity of ilium
- transfer body weight from sacrum to hips
parts of sacroiliac joint
- anterior synovial joint
- posterior syndesmosis
anterior synovial joint of sacroiliac
- auricular surfaces of sacrum and ilium
posterior syndesmosis
- sacral tuberosity to iliac tuberosity
- interosseous and posterior sacroiliac fibers are the syndesmosis
movements of sacroiliac joint
- nutation/counternutation
sacrospinous ligament
- from posterior surface of sacrum and coccyx to ischial spine
- prevents excessive anterior rotation (nutation of sacrum)
sacrotuberous ligament
- from posterior surface of sacrum and coccyx to ischial tuberosity
- prevents excessive anterior rotation (nutation of sacrum)
pubic symphysis
- secondary cartilaginous
- fibrocartilage interpubic disc
- articulation of 2 symphysial surfaces of pubic bones with fibrocartilage disc
- movement: none except during childbirth
sacrococcygeal symphysis
- secondary cartilaginous joint with an intervertebral disc
- apex of sacrum with base of coccyx
- movement: none except during childbirth (coccyx moves posteriorly)
hip joint
- ball and socket
- articular surface of acetabulum with head of femur
- movement:
- flexion/extension
- abduction/adduction
- circumduction
- rotation
ligaments of hip joint
- iliofemoral
- pubofemoral
- ischiofemoral
iliofemoral ligament
- located anterior and superior to joint
- attaches from acetabular rim of ilium to intertrochanteric line
pubofemoral ligament
- located anterior and inferior to joint
- attaches from superior rams of pubic bone to joint capsule and iliofemoral ligament
ischiofemoral ligament
- located posterior to joint
- attaches from acetabular rim of ischium to femoral neck
knee joint articulations
- 2 femorotibial: medial femoral condyle with medial tibial condyle; lateral femoral condyle with lateral tibial condyle
- 1 femoropatellar: patellar groove of femur with articular surface of patella
movement of femorotibial articulation
- flexion/extension
- slight rotation during locking/unlocking
movement of femoropatellar articulation
- gliding
ligaments of knee joint
- ACL
- PCL
- MCL
- LCL
ACL
- from anterior intercondylar area of tibia to posterior intercondylar area of femur
PCL
- from posterior intercondylar area of tibia to anterior intercondylar area of femur
MCL
- from medial epicondyle of femur to tibia inferior to medial condyle
- attaches to medial meniscus
LCL
- from lateral epicondyle of femur to head of fibula
- does NOT attach to lateral meniscus
