Lower Extremity Flashcards
What ligament is found in the femur
Ligamentum teres
Foveal ligament
The two bony processes in the femur bone are
The lesser and greater trochanter
The two bony ridges containing the trochanters are
The intertrochanteric line anteriorly
The trochantric crest posteriorly
On the shaft the posterior part rough rough ridge called
Linea aspera
Proximally the medial border of the linea aspera becomes
Pectineal line
The lateral border of linea aspera becomes
Gluteal tuberosity
Distally the linea aspera forms
The popliteal fossa
The femur can be divided into three parts
Proximal, shaft and distal
The distal part of the femur articulates with …… and …. To form ……….
Patella and tibia to form the knee joint
Intercondylar fossa
A deep notch on the posterior surface of the femur between the two condyles
Anterior cruciate ligament attaches where
Medial aspect of the lateral condyle
Posterior crucite ligament
Attaches to the lateral aspect of the medial condyle
Which part is responsible for walking climbing and several knee movements
Patella femoral joint
The major muscles on the anterior region
Pectineus , sartorius and quadriceps femoris
Medial section of the femor muscles
Adductor muscles
Adductor magnus- adductor longus - adductor brevis , graciaillis and obturator externus
Posterior section of the femural muscles from lateral to medail
Biceps femoris, semitetendinosus and semimembranosus
What muscles form the illiotibial band
Gluteus maximus and tensor facia latae
Where is the femoral nerve located
Located in the pelvis and goes down the front of the leg
The knee joins which bones togtehr
Femur and tibia
What type of knee joint is a knee joint
Hinge type synovial joint
The knee can be divides into four compartments
Medial
Lateral
Patello- femoral
Poterior
Anterior compartment of the knee
Patellofemoral
Where the knee cap and femur meet
Medial compartment
Tibiofemoral compartment or the inside
Lateral compartment of knee
Lateral femorotibial compartment or the outside of the knee
A diamond shaped area located at the posterior aspect of the knee is
Popliteal fossa
The knee ligaments connects
The femur and shin ( tibia) bones
The knee ligaments include
Anterior cruciate ligament
Posterior cruciate ligament
Medial collateral lig
Lateral collateral lig
Which joint is for internal and external rotation
Tibio fibula joint
