Knee Flashcards
Widening of tibia at top due to
tibia condyles
medial and lateral condyles form a flat surface called
tibial plateau
between the condyles is
intercondylar eminence which projects upwards to form intercondylar tubercles
where is the tibial tuberosity located
anterior aspect of tibia
where is Gerdys tubercle located
anterolateral surface of tibia
Femur (proximal) consists of…
head, neck, greater and lesser trochanters
Femur (shaft)
-descends medially through the thigh
ridges of bones on posterior aspect of femur (shaft) called..
linea aspera which splits to form medial and lateral supracondylar lines
flat area between supracondylar lines called …. (Femur shaft)
popliteal surface
linea aspera separates into… (femur shaft)
pectineal line and gluteal tuberosity
bony prominences on distal femur
medial and lateral epicondyles
notch between the 2 condyles (femur distal)
intercondylar fossa
location of intercondylar groove
anterior surface of distal femur
