Q

How is the stability of the hip joint increased?

A

Labrum which deepens the socket, iliofemoral ligament

18
Q

How is the restriction of movement in the hip joint overcome?

A

The long neck of the femur

19
Q

In what position is the hip joint capsule most susceptible to injury?

A

While seated, the joint capsule unwinds

20
Q

Which nerve can be injured during posterior dislocation of the hipjoint?

A

Sciatic nerve

21
Q

What happens if there is a fracture of the femoral head?

A

Avascular necrosis of the femoral head because vessels anastomoses across the neck

22
Q

Which 2 synovial joints are in the knee joint?

A

tibiofemoral and patellofemoral

23
Q

What type of joint is the knee joint?

A

Hinge joint

24
Q

Which 3 structures support the knee joint?

A

Knee joint menisci, cruciate ligaments and the collateral ligaments

25
How does the menisci support the knee joint?
It is a fibrocartilagenous disc - shock absorb - increase SA to increase congruency - spread synovial fluid
26
How do the ACL and PCL support the knee joint?
Stop the tibia from slipping forwards or backwards
27
Which intracapsular ligament supports the knee?
Cruciate ligaments
28
Which extracapsular ligament supports the knee?
Collateral ligaments
29
How do the medial and lateral collateral ligaments support the knee?
Resist sideways stress
30
What does the medial collateral ligament attach to?
Medial meniscus and the joint capsule
31
What does the lateral collateral ligament attach to?
Head of the fibula but NOT the joint capsule
32
Valgus stress is resisted by which collateral ligament?
Medial
33
Varus stress is resisted by which collateral ligament?
Lateral
34
Which is the most stable position of the knee?
Extension
35
Which things are injured in an unhappy triad?
ACL, MCL and medial meniscus
36
What type of joint is the superior tibiofibula joint?
Plane synovial joint
37
What type of joint is the inferior tibiofibula joint?
Fibrous joint, no movement
38
What type of joint is the talocrural joint?
Hinge synovial
39
How is the talocrural joint supported?
Medial and lateral ligament
40
Which ligament is more likely to be injured in an ankle sprain?
Lateral ligament
