Knee Joints and Popliteal Fossa Flashcards
5 capsular ligaments
coronary ligament
arcuate popliteal
patellar retinacular
oblique popliteal
deep capsular part of tibial & fibular collateral ligs
Coronary ligaments?
connect menisci with joint capsule
Arcuate Popliteal
Connect the head of fibula with the lateral of epicondyle of femur. Seal the opening through whih politeus enters
Popliteal Retinacula
The continuation of quadricep tendons pass over patella into medial and lateral side attach with joint capsule
Seal the opening behind the patella
Oblique Popliteal? What side of leg is this?
The continuation of semimembranosus tendons over the posterior aspect of joint capsule ( tibia attach to femur)
left
Tbial (Medial) Collateral lig
connect tibia with femur, blended into medial part of capsule and menisci
Fibula (Lateral) Collateral Ligs
Connect fibula with femur
4 major knee ligaments
tibia & fibula collateral lig
anterior/posterior cruciate lig
OI of anterior cruciate lig?
anterior plateau of tibia
lateral condyle of femur
against hyperextension
OI of posterior cruciate lig?
posterior plateau of tibia
medial condyle of femur
support flexion
Tip to distinguish what side is leg bone on?
What side is the fibula outward is the side of the leg
fibula on the left -> left leg
fibula on the right -> right leg
ACL damage
PCL damage
PCL slacks (loose)
ACL slims (close together)
two tendons that act as ligaments
tendon of iliotibial band
Pes Anserinus
What tendon that support the medial collateral ligament? lateral collateral ligament?
pes anserinus
Iliotibial band
Bursae of knee joint
anserine
popliteus, gastrocnemius & semimembranosus
Suprapatella
Subcutaneous prepatellar
Subcutaneous infrapatellar
deep infrapatellar
Anserine Bursae?
between tibia and pes anserinus
Suprapatella
above patella between femur and quadricep tendons
Subcutaneous Prepatellar
between skin and patella
Subcutaneous Infrapatellar
between skin and patella ligament and below the patella
deep infrapatellar
between patella ligament and tibia (below patella)
Knee joints are reinforced by?
muscle, tendons, ligaments, menisci, joint capsule
