knee 1 - anatomy Flashcards
what are three joint of the knee
proximal tib-fib
patellofemoral
tibiofemoral
what kind of joint is the tibiofemoral joint
bicondylar
what movement is allowed at the tibiofemoral joint
flex/ext
IR and ER
what is the OPP for the tibiofemoral joint
30-deg flexion
what is the CPP for the tibiofemoral joint
full extension
what is the capsular pattern of the tibiofemoral joint
flex > ext
is some valgum normal in the knee
yes
normal os 10-15
what part of the knee is closing down when the knee is in valgum
the lateral outside portion of the knee
Is some hypere ext okay in the knee
yes
if it aint broke do not fix it
what are the arthokinematics for the tibiofemoral joint - open chain
concave on conves
same direction
what is the screw home mechanism
10 -15 deg of lateral tib rot
10 - 15 deg of medial tib rot
what unlocks the knee from full extension
the popliteus
what direction does the tibia rotate in the screw home mechanism
ER of the tibia is used to lock the knee
what kind of jointis the patellafemoral
a modified plane joint
what part of the femur does the patella sit in
the trochlear groove
what is the function of the patella femoral joint
protects the ant knee
increases the the mechnical advantage of the quads
what direction does the patella glide with flexion
inf
what direction does the patella glides with ext
sup
what muscle glides the motion of the patella in regards to the femur
the quads
what anchors the patella tendon distally
the patella tendon
what muscle contributes to the lateral pull of the patella
the IT band
vastus lateralis
what muscle contributes to the patella on the medial side
the vastus medialis
what kind of joint is the proximal tib fib joint
a modified plane joint
what is the major movement we see at the proximal tib fib joint
mostly gliding motion
what is the function of the men
the deepen the joint surface and to increase contact area of the knee
stability
distribute weightbearing
absorb shock
what is a meniscoectomy
the partial surgical removal of the men
does the men have good vascularization
no
only okay vascularization on the outside portions
what muscles attach to the post medial men
semimembranosous and
