18
Q

PCL: anterolateral bundle is taut in this position

A

flexion

19
Q

PCL: posteromedial bundle taut in this position

A

20
Q

PCL is the primary restraint to

A

posterior displacement of tibia on femur

21
Q

PCL: common MOI

A

hyperflexion

dashboard injury

22
Q

LCL attachment points

A
  • lateral femoral epicondyle

- fibular head (with biceps femoris)

23
Q

LCL is the primary restraint to

A

varus stress

24
Q

In addition to being the primary restraint to varus stress, the LCL also limits

A

excessive tibial ER

25
Q

LCL is (intra/extra)capsular

A

extracapsular

26
Q

MCL: attachment sites

A
  • posterior aspect ot medial femoral condyle

- pes anserine

27
Q

MCL: superficial and deep portions are separated by

A

bursa

28
Q

MCL: superficial and deep portions are separated by bursa which allows for

A

motion with flexed positions

29
Q

MCL: primary restraint to

A

valgus stress

30
Q

MCL: deep portions attach to

A
  • meniscus
  • semimembranosus
  • vastus medialis
31
Q

MCL: (rich/poor) blood supply

A

rich - allows for good healing

32
Q

patellofemoral joint: articulating surfaces

A
  • medial/lateral (and odd) facets

- articulates with trochlear groove of femur

33
Q

patellofemoral joint: only this aspect is in contact with the femur in knee extension

A

only the inferior pole (loose)

34
Q

patellofemoral joint: contact area increases with (flex/ext)

A

flexion

35
Q

patellofemoral joint: contact area increases with flexion until beyond

A

90˚
