Ligaments Flashcards
Give the proximal attachment , distal attachment, and the action(s) that the transverse ligament limits.
proximal: anterior horns of meniscus
distal: anterior horns of other meniscus
limits: prevents anterior horns from separating
limits.
Give the proximal attachment , distal attachment, and the action(s) that the coronary ligament limits.
Proximal: Outer edges of menisci
Distal: tibia
Limits: prevents menisci from detaching from tibia
Give the proximal attachment , distal attachment, and the action(s) that the intercondylar ligaments limits.
proximal: intercondylar eminence
distal: horns of menisci
Limits: prevents too much lateral translation of menisci
Give the proximal attachment , distal attachment, and the action(s) that the posterior meniscofemoral ligaments limits.
Proximal: interior surface of medial femoral condyle (toward
intercondylar notch)
Proximal: posterior horn of lateral meniscus
Limits: prevents lateral meniscus from sliding past tibia
Give the proximal attachment and distal attachment of the patellar ligament.
Proximal: patella
Distal: tibial tuberosity
Give the proximal attachment , distal attachment, type of ligament, and the action(s) that the medial collateral ligament limits.
proximal: medial epicondyle of femur
Distal: medial aspect of proximal tibia (slopes anterior)
Limits: resists valgus stress
Type: capsular
Give the proximal attachment , distal attachment, type of ligament, and the action(s) that the lateral collateral ligament limits.
Proximal: lateral condyle of femur
Distal: posterior fibular head (runs posteriorly under the biceps femoris attachment)
Limits: resists varus stress (primary function), prevents external rotation of tibia, prevents posterior tibial displacement
Type: extrinsic
Give the proximal attachment, distal attachment, type of ligament, and the action(s) that the iliotibial band limits.
Proximal: formed by TFL and gluteus maximus
Distal: lateral tibial condyle
Limits: resists varus stress, resists posterior displacement of femur (in flexion), resists tibial internal rotation (in flexion)
Type: Not ligament
Give the proximal attachment, distal attachment, type of ligament, and the action(s) that the oblique popliteal ligament limits.
proximal: lateral condyle of femur
distal: medial condyle of tibia
limits: limits hyperextension (primary function)
limits internal rotation of femur
limits external rotation of tibia
type: capsular
Give the proximal attachment, distal attachment, type of ligament, and the action(s) that the arcuate ligament limits.
proximal: lateral condyles of femur and tibia
distal: fibular head
limits: limits hyerextension, limits varus stress
type: capsular
Give the proximal attachment, distal attachment, type of ligament, and the action(s) that the anterior cruciate ligament limits.
Proximal: medial aspect of lateral femoral condyle
Distal: anterior intercondylar fossa
limits: resists anterior tibial translation (primary)
resists internal tibial rotation (primary)
limits varus and valgus stress
type: intrinsic but extrasynovial
Give the proximal attachment, distal attachment, type of ligament, and the action(s) that the posterior cruciate ligament limits.
Proximal: medial surface of medial femoral condyle

Type: resists posterior translation of tibia (primary)
resists anterior translation of femur (primary)
resists varus and valgus stress
Type: instrinsic but extrasynovial
Give the proximal attachment, distal attachment, type of ligament, and the action(s) that the iliofemoral ligament limits.
proximal: AIIS and acetabulum rim
distal: intertrochanteric line
action: limits hyperextension
