MS1: Orthopedic Conditions of the Knee Flashcards
what type of joint is the tibio-femoral joint
modified hinge kase flex-ext, some rotation and abd-add
describe the knee joint
largest and most complex
what type of joint is the patellofemoral joint
plane nag glide up and down yung patella during flex-ext
purpose of patellofemoral joint
protects anterior knee
ANATOMICAL PULLEY para mas madali mag extend quads
what type of joint proximal tibia-fibula
synovial plane; gliding during movement ng ankle
nerve supp ng proximal tibia-fibula
common peroneal nerve
stability of joint depends on
strength and action of surrounding muscles
ligaments
what is the capsule
surrounds the joint
attached to margins ng articular surfaces
ant and post ligaments strengthen
purpose of interosseous membrane
connects shaft ng tibia and fibula
extracapsular ligaments
pattelar lig
LCL and MCL
lateral collateral
medial collateral
oblique popliteal
patellar ligament
distal part of quads
collateral ligs of knee
LCL - add; rounded
MCL - abd; flat
oblique popliteal lig
expansion ng semimemb
strength sa posterior
intracapsular ligs
ACL
PCL
menisci
ano mas mahina acl o pcl
acl is weaker kase poor blood supply
stronger PCL
acl prevents what
posterior displacement of femur and ant ng tibia
HYPEREXTENSION
location of cruciates
center of knee; stability
when is ACL taut and laxed
taut kapag ext
lax pag flex
when is PCL taut
knee flex
what does PCL prevent
ant disp ng femur tas post ng tibia
main function of ACL
rotational stability
main function of PCL
stabilizer kapag weight bearing in flexed knee
which is more mobile na meniscus
lateral
compare the shape ng menisci
lat - circular and smaller
med - broad and C SHAPED
what acts on extension
quads; limited by cruciates and collateral
when does rotation happen
knee is flexed
what acts on flexion
hamstring; limited by contact of calf and thigh
what acts on medial rot
popliteus, semimemb, semiten
checked by cruciates
what acts on lat rot
biceps femoris
checked by collateral
where is the supracondylar area
zone betw femoral condyles sa metaphysis
10-15 cm distal femur
bat may physiologic valgus yung femur
kase medial condyle extends more distally and mas convex
deforming force of gastroc on distal femur fractures
flexes distal fragment
POSTERIOR ANGULATION
deforming force of quads and hams on distal femur fractures
proximal traction
SHORTENS LE
mechanism of injury in DFF
axial load in varus, valgus or rotational
young - MVA or fall ng mataas
elderly - slip or fall on flexed
general principles of treatment of DFF
restore congruity
stabilize; fragment sa shaft
indirect reduction to preserve bv
early knee ROM
non-op of DFF in NON DISPLACED
hinged knee brace; FULL TIME - 6-8 WKS
closed chain ROM 3-4 wks
partial weight bearing
non-op of DFF in DISPLACED
traction then brace; 6-12 wks
op treatment of DFF
plate fixation or nail
SEVERE - arthroplasty
complications of op treatment in DFF
nonunion
malalignment
loss of fixation
infection
knee pain stiff
painful hardware kase weather
describe the etiology og knee dislocations
UNCOMMON PERO LIFE THREATENING
mech of injury ng knee disloc
MVA and dashboard; HE
athletic injury or fall; LE
rupture ng 3/4 ligs; ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL
diagnosis ng knee disloc
tibia mag move
ant
post
medial or lat
rot
posterolat
most common type of knee disloc
POSTEROLATERAL
treatment of knee disloc
emergent reduction
REVASCULARIZE WITH IN 6 HOURS
ligament reconstruct - mas ok pag acute
EARLY ROM
complications of knee disloc
vasular injury
neurologic - PERONEAL - ant comp - FOOT DROP
stifness - MOST COMMON
lax ligaments
escribe neurologic copli on knee disloc
MAIPIT PERONEAL SO FOOT DROP KASE ANT COMP MUSCLES
most common compli of knee disloc
stifness or arthrofibrosis
functions of the patella
inc mechanical advantage of quads tendon
aid nourishment
protect condyles ng femur
largest facet of patella
lateral - 50% of pattela
what is the Q angle
hindi pantay yung femoral head sa patella
ensures na pull ng quads is laterally directed
normal Q angle
3.5 DEG - MALE
4.6 DEG - FEMALE
most common type of patellar disloc
lateral dislocation
