Name of Hip joint
acetabulofemoral joint
name of knee joint
tibiofemoral joint
ankle joint name
talocrural
3 bones that make up hip bone
ilium, pubis, ischium
what is the acetabular notch
permits vessels to enter joint and gives attachment for ligament of head of femur
3 ligaments around the hip joint
iliofemoral, pubofemoral, ischiofemoral
what kind of joint is tibiofemoral joint
hinge synovial
tibial plateau is deepened by…
medial and lateral meniscus
what is ACL
A-anterior cruciate ligament
P-osteriorly ans inserts on
EX-ternal lat femroal condyle
what is PCL
P-posterior cruciate runs
A-nteriorly and inserts on
IN-ternal medial femoral condyl
what does ACL prevent
anterior displacement of tibia relative to femur
what does PCL prevent
posterior displacement od tibia relative to femur
what kind of bone is patella
sesamoid
where does patella form
within tendon of quadriceps femoris
What keeps patella attached
QF muscle-QF ligament-patella-patellar ligament- tibial tuberosity
why do we have a patella?
changes the angle the quadriceps inserts on the tibia - increasing strength by 10-50% (less in flexion more in extension)
what does patella articulate with
anterior - apex inferior and attaches to patellar ligament
posterior - large lateral and smaller medial facet articulate with femur
Name the tarsal bones
medial, intermediate and lateral cuneiforms
Navicular
Talus
Cuboid
Calcaneus
what type of joint is the talocrural joint
hinge synovial joint
what bones are involved in the talocrural joint
tibia, fibula and talus
