JOINTS HIGH YIELD Flashcards
this joint is located between the head of the fibula and lateral condyle of the tibia?
proximal tibiofibular joint
the proximal tibiofibular joint is between what two structures?
the head of the fibula and lateral condyle of the tibia
what is the proximal tibiofibular joint structurally and functionally?
structurally, planar or gliding synovial
functionally, diarthrosis
what ligaments is the proximal tibiofibular joint reinforced by?
proximal anterior tibiofibular joint
proximal posterior tibiofibular joint
arterial supply of the proximal tibiofibular joint?
inferior lateral genicular artery

what forms the middle tibiofibular joint?
interosseous membrane attaching to interosseous borders of both the tibia and fibula
how do the fibers of the middle tibiofibular joint pass?
proximal medial to distal lateral for fibular gliding for separation of tibia and fibula at the distal extremities
where is the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis located?
between the fibular notch of the tibia and medial aspect of the fibular distal extremity
what type of joint is the distal tibiofibular joint structurally and functionally?
syndesmotic fibrous joint structurally
amphiarthrotic joint functionally
*inversion and eversion of the foot during motion when foot is on the ground
what ligaments is the distal tibiofibular joint reinforced by?
many ligaments not specified
what is the distal tibiofibular joint supplied by?
perforating peroneal
anterior lateral malleolar
posterior lateral malleolar arteries
what is the innervation of the distal tibiofibular joint?
deep perineal
tibial
saphenous nerves
this ligament helps to prevent separation of the fibular from the tibia?
distal anterior tibiofib ular ligament
this ligament prevents the talus from wedging between the tibia and fibula by preventing separation of the fibula from the tibia?
interosseous tibiofibular ligament
