Q

Describe both medial and lateral meniscus of the knee.

A

On the medial and lateral condyles of tibia - use fibula or tibial tuberosity for reference

17
Q

Describe the patellar ligament of the knee.

A

Patellar ligament connects the patella to the tibial tuberosity

18
Q

Describe the quadriceps muscle tendon of the knee.

A

Connects the quadriceps muscle tendons to the patella

19
Q

Describe the fibular collateral ligament of the knee

A

Lateral collateral ligament of the knee - connects lateral epicondyle of femur to the lateral head of the fibula - deep to biceps femoris tendon and iliotibial tract

20
Q

Describe the tibial collateral ligament of the knee.

A

Medial collateral ligament - longer of the collateral ligaments - connects medial epicondyle of femur to the medial condyle and shaft of tibia - deep fibers of tibial collateral ligament bind to medial meniscus - deep to pes anserine

21
Q

Describe the oblique popliteal ligament

A

Runs superior and fairly parallel to the popliteus muscle

22
Q

Describe the arcuate popliteal ligament

A

Superficial to proximal portion of popliteus muscle - runs almost within sagittal plane - arches over proximal muscle

23
Q

Describe the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee

A

Attaches on anterior aspect of tibia in between the attachments of horns of the medial meniscus - attaches on medial aspect of the lateral condyle of femur

24
Q

Describe the posterior cruciate ligament of the knee.

A

Attaches most posterior surface of tibia posterior to all meniscus horn attachments - attaches on medial aspect of the medial condyle of the femur

25
Q

Describe the coronary ligament of the knee

A

Connects inferior edges of medial/lateral menisci to joint capsule of knee - helps anchor meniscus to tibia

26
Q

Describe the pes anserine of knee

A

Collection of three tendons from sartorius, gracilis, and semitendinosus muscles with insertion on medial anterior aspect of tibia

27
Q

Describe the deltoid ligament of the talocrural joint

A

Roughly 4 ligaments attaching medial malleolus to the calcaneus, talus, and navicular - posterior medial and anterior attachments - sustentaculum tali
