17
Q

Q angle

A

line drawn btw ASIS and center of patella and tibial tub
15-20 degrees, larger in women
too big, patella can track laterally

18
Q

genu valgum

A

knock knee, angle btw tib and femur is less than 170

19
Q

genu varum

A

bow leg, angle is more than 170

20
Q

MCL

A

has a deep insertion on med meniscus
maintains knee in extended position
resists valgus forces

21
Q

LCL

A

not as strong as MCL
maintains entended knee
resists varus forces
not part of fibrous

22
Q

ACL

A

resists ant mvmt of tib on femur

23
Q

PCL

A

resists post forces of tib on femur

24
Q

menisci

A

shock absorbers

tears cause locking of the knee, clicking

25
lateral meniscus
mobile, not attached to LCL, less likely to be injured
26
med meniscus
attached firmly to the med condyle C shaped less mobile, more likely to be injured post horn much bigger than ant
27
abduction injury
valgus force/lateral blow to knee, tears med meniscus
28
final screw home mvmt
tib rotates laterally on femur max contact btw tib and femoral condyles locking knee
29
locked knee
all 4 ligs taut, prevents hyperextension
30
unlocking of the knee
popliteus muscle WB: rotates the femur laterally on tib NWB: medially rotates tibia on femur ligs go lax, flexion occurs
31
knee flexors
hamstrings
32
inward rotators (when flexed)
pes anerinus
33
outward rotators (when flexed)
biceps femoris
34
ACL tear
sudden stopping of forward motion anterior draw sign lachman test: more specific
35
PCL tear
foot gets stuck while femur is forced backward less often damaged post draw sign
36
MCL tear
more common than LCL injury | lateral (valgus) stresses tear it
37
LCL tear
medial (varus) stresses
38
medial menisci tear
often caused by MCL tear | McMurray test: posterior horn tear assessment, clicking when rotating flexed knww with patient supine
39
unholy triad
medical meniscus, MCL, and ACL likely to all get injured together from post lateral blows to the knee
40
femoral nerve lesion
wasting of ant comp of thigh muscles. cant walk up or down stairs or stand or sit up unassisted
41
sciatic nerve lesion
paralysis of hamstrings, cant flex knee or extend hip
42
L2L3 root damage
weak quads concentric contractions: hard time standing from seated, walking up stairs eccentric: sitting from standing, walking down stairs
