Lecture 4 Thigh and knee Flashcards
inclination angle under 120 degrees =
Coxa vara genu valga = knocked knees and pronated foot
inclination angle above 135 degrees =
Coxa valga genu vara = bowed legged and supinated foot
Inferior gluteal nerve roots
L5-S2
Superior gluteal nerve roots
L4-S1
strutures on femur that tell you whether it is a right/left femur
Intercondylar fossa is posterior and the femoral head is medial`
structure on lateral tibial plateau where IT band attaches
Gerdys tubercle
Posterior to anterior tibial plateau attachment sites for ligs and meniscus
PCL
Medial meniscus
Lateral Meniscus
Lateral meniscus
ACL
Medial meniscus
(PMLLAM)
Neck of fibula compression with a cold pack =
Common fibular nerve neuropathy
How to tell (left or right) patella
Bigger of the left (posterior), its a left patella
Knee joint that is outside of the knee
Proximal Tibiofibular joint
Simple patellar gliding/tacking problems =
Patellofemoral pain syndrome
Joint that is important for locking/unlocking knee
Tibiofemoral (transverse plane)
Increase in Q angle arises from knocked knees or bowed legs?
Knocked knees (coxa vara genu valga, pronated foot)
Q angle normal ranges for men and women
Male: 14-16
Female: 16-18
An increase in Q angle can cause what in the knee?
Dislocation/subluxation/lateral shift of patella during tracking (patellofemoral pain syndrome)
Anterior cruciate ligament resists
hyperextension (tibia moving anterior)
Posterior cruciate ligament resists
hyperflexion
Both the PCL and ACL are intra-articular and have
Two bands resisting valgus/varus
Medial collateral ligament resists
Valgus (intracapsular)
Lateral collateral ligament resists
Varus (extracapsular)
Iliohypogentric nerve roots
T12-L1
iliolinguinal nerve roots
L1 (only one with 1)
