Knee Femur Hip Pelvis Flashcards
Female Pelvis
- Wide and shallow
- Oval
- Light bony structure
Male Pelvis
- Narrow and deep
- Round
- Heavy bony structure
Femoral Neck forshortening is avoided by:
The greater trochanter is most prominent laterally, medial rotation
<19 cm ASIS:
3-5 degrees Caudad angle for AP+OBL knee
19-24 cm ASIS:
0 degrees angle for AP+OBL knee
> 24 cm ASIS:
3-5 cephalad angle for AP+OBL knee
When can the valgus and varus deformities of the knee be seen?
Weight-bearing AP knees
depression is found posteriorly between the condyles at the distal end of the femur
Intercondylar Fossa
Holmblad Method Central Ray
Entering the superior aspect of the popliteal fossa
How many degrees do you flex the knee for the Holmblad Method?
70 degrees
Camp-Coventry Central Ray
Entering the popliteal
How many degrees do you angle for camp-coventry method?
- 40 degrees when knee is flexed 40 degrees
- 50 degrees when knee is flexed 50 degrees
Beclere Method Central Ray
Perpendicular to the long axis of the lower leg, entering the knee joint ½ inch (1.3 cm) below the patellar apex.
How many degrees is the long axis of the femur in the Beclere method?
60 degrees
Beclere method tube angle
Perpendicular to the long axis of the lower leg
Hughston Method (Patella) central ray
Through the patello femoral joint
Hughston Method (Patella) Angle
45 degrees cephalad with knee bent 50-60 degrees
Settegast Method (Patella) central ray
Perpendicular to the joint space between the patella and the femoral condyles when the joint is perpendicular
Angulation for Settegast Method (Patella)
15 to 20 degrees
PA Patella rotate the heel:
5 to 10 degrees laterally
Central Ray for PA Patella
Midpopliteal
Knee flexion for lateral patella
5 to 10 degrees
Central ray for lateral patella
Midpatellofemoral joint
Flexion for Lateral Knee
20 to 30 degrees
If there is a fracture in the patella the knee should not be flexed more than:
10 degrees
Ligaments of the Knee:
Posterior cruciate ligament
Anterior cruciate ligament
Tibial collateral ligament
Fibular collateral ligament
Two fibrocartilage disks in the knee:
Lateral and medial meniscus
New tissue growth where cell proliferation is uncontrolled
Tumor
Malignant tumor arising from cartilage cells
Chondrosarcoma
Rheumatoid arthritis variant involving the SI joints and spine
Ankylosing spondylitis
Malformation of the acetabulum causing displacement of the femoral head
Congenital hip dysplasia
Displacement of a bone from the joint space
Dislocation
Disruption in the continuit of bone
Fracture
Flattening of the femoral head due to vascular interruption
Legg-Calve-Perthes disease
Transfer of cancerous lesion from one area to another
Metastasis
Form of arthritis marked by progressive cartilage deterioration in synovial joints and vertebrae
Osteoarthritis or degenerative joint disease
Increased density of atypically soft bone
Osteopetrosis
Loss of bone density
Osteoporosis
Thick, soft bone marked by bowing and fractures
Paget disease
Proximal portion of femur dislocated from distal portion at the proximal epiphysis
Slipped epiphysis
New tissue growth where cell proliferation is uncontrolled
Tumor
