Ligaments And Joints Of The Pelvic Limb

Question 1

• articulation of stability rather than mobility
• The right and left wing of the ilia articulates with the broad right and left wing of the sacrum
• Most common area to be affected by a hit of car accidents. Once the joints are delegated, bone pinning/plating is done depending of the severity.

Answer 1

Sacro-iliac Joint

Question 2

• In most adults, these articulate surfaces are opposed and united by ____________ and are surrounded by small area of articulating hyaline cartilage with synovial fluid.

Answer 2

Fibrocartilage

Question 3

• Around the periphery of the articular areas, bands of strong collagenous tissues, the dorsal and ventral ___________ reinforce the fibro cartilage.

Answer 3

Sacro-iliac Ligaments

Question 4

• Ball-and-Socket Joint whose main movement are flexion and extension and can move in any direction, but the opposed action of the medial and lateral rotator muscles limits those movements.

1. LIGAMENT OF THE FEMORAL HEAD
2. TRANSVERSE ACETABULAR LIGAMENT
3. SACROTUBEROUS LIGAMENT

Answer 4

Hip Joint

Question 5

• Thick band of collagenous tissue that extends from the acetabular fossa to the fovea capitis of the femur.

Answer 5

Ligament of the Femoral Head

Question 6

• Small band that extends from one side of the acetabular notch to the opposite side.

Answer 6

Transverse Acetabular Ligament

Question 7

• Long ligament that extends from the transverse processes of the sacrum to the ischium.

Answer 7

Sacrotuberous Ligament

Question 8

• KNEE JOINT
• A complex condylar synovial joint
• The joint capsule of the stifle forms 3 sacs. 2 of these are between the femur and tibia.

Answer 8

Stifle Joint

Question 9

• The steroidal part of the femur articulates with the flattened condyles of the tibia. This forms the 2 ___________.
• The remaining sac is located beneath the patella called the Femoropatellar Joint Sac.

Answer 9

Femorotibial Joint

Question 10

• Proximal and Distal Tibiofibular Joints

Answer 10

Tibiofibular Joints

Question 11

• UPPER PORTION
• Small and tightly fitting.
• Its synovial lining is a distal extension of the lining of the lateral femorotibial part of the stifle joint capsule.

Answer 11

Proximal Tibiofibular Joint

Question 12

• LOWER PORTION
• Receives an extension of the synovial membrane from the lateral side of the talocrural joint of the talus.
• It is hardly more than a synovial pocket between the lateral malleus. The lateral and medial malleus, and the distal lateral surfaces of the tibia.

Answer 12

Distal Tibiofibular Joint

Question 13

1. TIBIOTARSAL JOINT
2. PROXIMAL INTERTARSAL JOINT
3. DISTAL INTERTARSAL JOINT
4. TARSOMETATARSAL JOINS

Answer 13

Tarsal Joints

Question 14

Joint that forms between the tibia to the tarsal

Answer 14

Tibiotarsal Joint

Question 15

Joint between the tarsals bone within the proximal side.

Answer 15

Proximal Intertarsal Joint

Question 16

Joint between Distal Tarsal Joints

Answer 16

Distal Intertarsal Joint

Question 17

Joint formed between the distal tarsals and the metatarsals.

Answer 17

Tarsometatarsal Joints
