Knee & Thigh Flashcards
femorotibial joint is a blank joint
synovial hinge
most pull on patella is blank which causes blank
lateral, patellar femoral
most stable position of tibiofemoral joint
extended w/ femur slightly IR
patella is the largest blank bone in the body
sesamoid
there are blank facets on the patella
7
bursa that is an extension of the joint cavity
suprapatellar
bursa between patella and skin and may cause housemaids knee
prepatellar
extra capsular ligaments function to strengthen fibrous blank
joint capsule
two things that stabilize anterior knee
patellar lig, quad tendon, patellar retinacula
innervates the patellar refelx
L2-L4
posterior stabilization of capsule is thanks to these two things
oblique popliteal lig, arcuate popliteal lig
posterior stabilizers of knee capsule resists blank
hyperextension
oblique popliteal lig is derived from blank tendon
semimembranosus
arcuate popliteal lig is derived from blank tendon
biceps femoris
broad and thick ligament that resists valgus and taut in knee extension…. attaches to the blank
tibial collateral lig MCL, medial meniscus
does the lcl attach to the laterall meniscus
no
