kneeeeeee Flashcards
name the knee joints (5)
- tibiofemoral
- patellofemoral
- proximal/superior tibiofibular
- mid tibiofibular
- distal tibiofibular
tibiofemoral joint type
synovial
hinge (ginglymus)
diarthrosis
biaxial
artic surfaces of tibiofemoral
CONVEX medial & lateral femoral condyles
CONCAVE tibial plateau
extracapsular ligaments of tibiofemoral joint
extracapsular:
fibrous capsule
patellar
medial patellar retinaculum
lateral patellar retinaculum
tibial/medial collateral ** MCL
fibular/lateral collateral ** LCL
oblique popliteal
arcuate popliteal
intracapsular ligaments of tibiofemoral
anterior cruciate ACL
posterior cruciate PCL
posterior meniscofemoral
transverse
coronary
medial and lateral menisci
movements of tibiofemoral
gliding
flexion
extension
hyperextension
lateral/external rotation
medial/internal rotation
where does the ACL span from
medial aspect of lateral femoral condyle
to
anterior aspect of tibial intercondylar eminence
what does the ACL resist
anterior translation and medial rotation of tibia on femur and is taut in HYPEREXTENSION
where does PCL span from
posterior aspect of intercondylar eminence to lateral aspect of medial femoral condyle
what does PCL resist
posterior translation of tibia on femur
taut in HYPERFLEXION
what does MCL resist
VALGUS forces
what does LCL resist
VARUS forces
what does the meniscus do
acts to disperse weight evenly and to reduce friction w movement
what is the medial meniscus attached to
MCL and semimembranosus muscle/tendon
what does the LCL attach to
PCL and popliteus muscle
what ligament attaches the menisci anteriorly
transverse ligament of the knee
and to the
margins of the head of the tibia by the coronary ligaments
bursas of knee
suprapatellar
superficial & deep
infrapatellar
prepatellar
popliteal
semimembranosus
loose packed of tibiofemoral
25 degrees flexion
