Q

popliteus

A

O: lateral condyle of femur, lateral meniscus
I: Proximal posterior tibia
Inn: tibial nerve
Blood: Popliteal artery
Action: unlocks extended knee (rotates femur laterally when tibia is fixed, tibia rotates medially when its not fixed)

fibers attach to the lateral meniscus and retract it posterior during knee flexion

17
Q

extrinsic ligaments

A

anterior
medial and lateral
posterior

18
Q

anterior extrinsic ligaments

A

patellar ligament
patellar reinaculum (medial and lateral)

19
Q

medial and lateral extrinsic ligaments

A

MCL - tibial
LCL - fibular

20
Q

posterior extrinsic ligaments

A

oblique popliteal ligament
arcuate popliteal ligament

21
Q

to see LCL with muscles do you have to remove

A

bicep femoris and IT

22
Q

medial collateral ligament

A

strong, flat
medial epicondyle (femur) to medial condyle (tibia)
anchored to medial meniscus

23
Q

lateral collateral ligament

A

rounded, cordlike
lateral epicondyle (femur) to fibular head
not anchored to lateral meniscus

24
Q

anterior cuciate laigament

A

ACL
anterior tibial plate to medial side of lateral candy of the femur

25
Q

posterior cruciate ligament

A

PCL
posterior tibial plateau to lateral side of medial condyle of femur

26
Q

cruciate ligaments limits?
and what does it provide?

A

rotation of knee
provide stability

27
Q

unhappy triad

A

three structures being sprained - ACL, medial meniscus, MCL

28
Q

ACL repair

A

double bundle reconstruction - 4 bony
tunnels with 2 graft

29
Q

menisci of the knee

A

act as shock absorption

30
Q

medial meniscus

A

c shaped
well anchored on tibia
attached to medial collateral ligament

31
Q

lateral meniscus

A

less likely to tear
more of a complete ring
not well anchored (can get probe under this structure)
more mobile during flexion/extension

32
Q

ACL is10x more likely to tear? true or false

A

true

33
Q

how do you get a tear?

A

knee flexion with knee valgus with extreme IR or ER

34
Q

mechanism of medical tears

A

sudden extension or rotational movements when the knee is fixed in flexion

35
Q

genu valgum - kock knees

A

MCL limits values force

36
Q

genu varum - bow legged

A

LCL limits varus force

37
Q

what goes around the ACL and PCL

A

synovial membrane

38
Q

muscles involved in IR

A

semimembranosus
semitendinosus
gracilis
sartorius
popliteus

39
Q

muscles involved in ER

A

biceps femoris long head
bicep femoris short head
