19
Q

TCL and FCL

A

Ligaments found of the sides of the knee which prevent side to side motion.

20
Q

TCL and FCL stand for…

A

Tibial collateral ligament and fibular collateral ligament.

21
Q

Patellar ligament

A

Ligament which connects the patella to the tibial tuberosity.

22
Q

Infrapatellar fat pad

A

Fat pad beneath the patellar ligament. Reduces friction.

23
Q

Patella

A

Largest sesamoid bone in the body. Embedded in the tendon of the quadriceps.

24
Q

Function of the patella

A

Assists in knee extension by increasing leverage on the quadriceps tendon.

25
Q

Patellofemoral joints

A

A gliding joint which slides inferiorly during knee flexion and superiorly during extension.

26
Q

A

Condyles, tibial tuberosity, soleal line, medial malleolus.

27
Q

Joints of the tibia

A

Tibiofemoral, proximal and distal tibiofibular, talocrural.

28
Q

Joints of the fibula

A

Head of the fibula, lateral malleolus.

30
Q

Tarsal bones

A

Calcaneus, talus, navicular, cuboid, cuneiforms

31
Q

Calcaneus

A

Heel bone. Transfers body weight to the ground.

32
Q

Talus

A

Ankle bone. Transfers the weight of the body from the leg to the foot.

33
Q

A

3 bones which are distal to the navicular and cuboid.

36
Q

Talocrural joints

A

The talus articulates with the tibia and fibula to form a hinge joint.

37
Q

Motions of the talocrural joint

A

Plantarflexion and dorsiflexion.

38
Q

Subtalar joint

A

The talus articulates with the calcaneus to form a saddle joint.

39
Q

Motions allowed by the subtalar joint

A

Inversion and eversion of the foot.
