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
