Lower Extremity Flashcards
7 bones of the ankle
calcaneus talus navicular cuboid medial cuneiform intermediate cuneiform lateral cuneiform
Arches in the foot
Allow for weight distribution, balance, and proper gait cycle. Transverse arch (medial to lateral) Longitudinal arch (posterior to superior)
Sacro-iliac joint
Joint between auricular surface of Sacrum and auricular surface of Ilium
Planar diarthrosis
Pubic Symphysis Joint
amphiarthrosis - symphysis
separated by cartilaginous disc. merges left and right pubic bones together
Hip Joint
Ball and socket diarthrosis
- strong, dense, and deep articular capsule, 4 ligaments, and muscles increase stability
Knee Joint
Hinge diarthrosis + little rotation
- quadriceps tendon, patellar ligament
- medial collateral ligament, lateral collateral ligament
- anterior cruciate ligament, posterior cruciate ligament
- popliteal ligament
Tibiofibular Joint
gliding diarthrosis stabilized by: - interosseus membrane - posterior tibiofibular ligament - anterior tibiofibular ligament
Talocrural Joint
Ankle joint between talus and tibia and fibula
hinge diarthrosis - dorsiflexion and plantar flexion
