Question 4

Where is the quadriceps fat pad located

Answer 4

Anteriorly between the suprapatellar recess & quadriceps tendon

Question 5

Prefemoral fat pad location

Answer 5

Is located between the suprapatellar recess & femur

Question 6

Infrapatellar Fat pad of Hoffa

Answer 6

An intra-capsular but extra-synovial fat pad between the anterior knee joint and the patellar tendon

Question 7

Prepatellar bursa

Answer 7

Anterior to the patella

Question 8

Superficial Infrapatellar bursa

Answer 8

Anterior to the distal patellar tendon

Question 9

Deep Infrapatellar bursa

Answer 9

Between the patellar tendon and proximal tibia

Question 10

Semimembranosus-tibial collateral ligament bursa

Answer 10

Inverted U shape located at the joint line between the medial collateral ligament and the semimembranosus tendon

Question 11

Semimembranosus-medial gastrocnemius bursa

Answer 11

Communicates to the knee joint in 50% adults who are older than 50 years and becomes a common recess for joint fluid and intra-articular bodies

Question 12

What is Bursae

Answer 12

It prevents potential for substantial frictional forces among muscular, ligamentous and bony structures

Question 13

Suprapatellar bursa

Answer 13

Lies between the quadriceps tendon and the anterior femur, superior to the patella

Question 14

Subpopliteal bursa

Answer 14

Lies between the tendon of the popliteus muscle and the lateral femoral condyle

Question 15

Gastrocnemius bursa

Answer 15

Lies between the tendon of the medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle and the medial femoral condyle

Question 16

Prepatellar bursa

Answer 16

1. Located between the skin and the anterior surface of the patella
2. Allows free movement of the skin over the patella during flexion and extension

Question 17

Infrapatellar bursa

Answer 17

Lies inferior to the patella, between the patellar tendon and the overlying skin

Question 18

Deep Infrapatellar Bursa

Answer 18

1) Located between the patellar tendon and the tibial tuberosity
2) Helps to reduce friction between the patellar tendon and the tibial tuberosity

Question 19

Patella

Answer 19

1) Largest Sesamoid bone
2) Apex is connected to the tibial tuberosity by the ligamentum patellae
3) Triangular and the apex lies inferiorly
4) Posterior Surface is connected to the femur

Question 20

Fovea Capitis

Answer 20

1) Depression at the head for the attachment of the ligament of the head
2) Closely related to the branch of the obturator artery that supplies the femur

Question 21

Tibia articulates with the

Answer 21

1) Condyles of the femur
2) Head of the fibula
3) Talus
4) Distal end of the fibula below

Question 22

Soleal line

Answer 22

1) Located at the posterior surface of shaft

2) Attachment for the soleus

Question 23

Fibula

Answer 23

1) Slender lateral bone of the leg
2) Not involved in the t transmission of body weight, but it provides attachment for muscles
3) Takes no part in the articulation at the knee joint, but below it forms the lateral malleolus of the ankle joint

Question 24

Meniscus

Answer 24

1) Improves tibiofemoral congruence forming concavities into which the femoral condyles sit
2) Aids in distributing weight-bearing forces
3) Fibrocartilaginous disks with a semicircular shape

Question 25

Role of the Meniscus

Answer 25

1) Strong attachments to the menisci prevent them from being squeezed out during compression of the tibiofemoral joint
2) With the addition of the menisci, the contact at the tibiofemoral joint is increased and joint stress is, therefore, reduced on the joint’s articular cartilage

Question 26

The superficial portion of MCL

Answer 26

Arises proximally from the medial femoral epicondyle and travels distally to insert into the medial aspect of the proximal tibia

Question 27

Deep portion of the MCL

Answer 27

Continuous with the joint capsule, originates from the inferior aspect of the medial femoral condyle

Question 28

Arcuate Ligament

Answer 28

Y-shaped capsular thickening found in nearly 70% of knees
