Lower limb osteology - identify the parts Flashcards
1
Q
Femur- identify the following
- Head
- fovea
- neck
- intertrochanteric line
- intertrochanteric crest
- capsule attachments
- greater trochanter
- trochaneric fossa
- lesser trochanter
- quadrate tubercle
- linea aspira
- spiral line
- gluteal tuberosity
- medial/lateral supracondylar lines
- popliteal surface
- condyles
- articular surface
- patellar surface
- intercondylar notch
- epicondyles
- adductor tubercle
- how does it ossify?
A
ossification = growth at distal end - centre appears in distal end just before full term - fuses between 18-20 years
2
Q
Tibia - identify the following parts
- condyles
- anterior and posterior intercondylar areas
- cruciate ligament attachments
- tibial tuberostiy
- fibular facet (lateral epicondyle)
- anterior shaft
- interosseous border
- posterior surface
- soleal line
- medial malloeolus
- deltoid ligament attachment
- groove for tibialis posterior tendon
- fibular notch
- inferior surface for articulation with talus
A
3
Q
Fibula - identify the following
- head
- styloid process
- neck
- where does common peroneal nerve wrap?
- anterior surface
- interosseous border
- medial crest
- lateral malleolus
- medial malleolus
- triangular articular facet for talus
- rough surface for inferior tibiofibular ligament above and malleolar fossa behind and below
A
4
Q
Foot- identify the following
- talus
- calcaneus
- navicular
- cuboid
- 3 cuneiforms
- metatarsals
- phalanges
- hallux
- 2,3,4,5th toes
A
5
Q
Tarsus- identify the following areas of the tarsal bones
- body (trochlear surface)
- neck
- head
- calcaneus - anterior and posterior parts
- calcaneus- dorsal and plantar surfaces
- navicular - tuberosity
- med. cuneriform: attachment of tibialis anterior and fibularis longus
- cuboid - groove for fibularis longus tendon
A
6
Q
Metatarsals - identify the following
- base
- shaft and head
- ossification timeline?
A
ossification =
calcaneus - 6 months
talus - 7 months
cuboid - 9th month
the cuboid is evidence of fetal maturity
