Q

What restricts the ROM of the SI joint?

A

very well re-enforced ligaments

32
Q

What type of joint is the SI joint?

A

inferior half is gliding synovial joint, other half is fibrous immoveable joint

33
Q

What happens to the SI joint during pregnancy?

A

inferior gliding synovial joint increases

34
Q

True or false: the synovial portion of the SI joint reduces with age

A

true

35
Q

What is the longest, heaviest and strongest bone in the body?

A

femur

36
Q

What does the femur articulate with?

A

acetabulum (prox), tibia and patella (dist)

37
Q

Why are the knees closer to the midline?

A

the shaft of the femur arches medially bringing the knees closer to the midline

38
Q

What is the patella?

A

sesamoid bone anterior to the knee

39
Q

What are the portions of the patella?

A

base is prox end that develops in tendon of quads, apex is dist end and is pointed

40
Q

What does the posterior aspect of the patella contain?

A

two articular facets for the two condyles of the femur

41
Q

What are the functions of the patella?

A

increases the leverage of the tendon of the quads and maintain its position, protects knee joint

42
Q

What type of joint is the coxal joint?

A

ball and socket

43
Q

What are the articulating surfaces of the coxal joint?

A

acetabulum and head of femur

44
Q

What are the extra capsular ligaments of the coxal joint

A

1.zona orbicularis, 2.iliofemoral, 3.pubofemoral, 4.ischiofemoral

45
Q

What are the intracapsular ligaments of the coxal joint?

A

1.ligamentum teres of femur, 2.transverse ligament of acetabulum + acetabular labrum

46
Q

What limits the ROM of the coxal joint?

A

all the ligaments

47
Q

True or false: the tibia and fibula are weight bearing

A

false: ONLY tibia is weight bearing

48
Q

Is the fibula lateral or medial to the tibia?

A

lateral

49
Q

What type of joint is the proximal tibiofibular joint?

A

planar synovial joint

50
Q

What is the proximal tibiofibular joint composed of?

A

tibial facet on the lateral condyle of fibula, and fibular facet on the head of tibia

51
Q

is the PTFJ a common site of isolated injury?

A

NO!

52
Q

Is the PTFJ a weight bearing joint?

A

no, but may help in dissipating torsional pressure

53
Q

What type of joint is the distal tibiofibular joint? What is it re-enforced by?

A

sydesmosis, enforced by ligaments

54
Q

What fixes the fibula distally to the tibia?

Which bone is the only bone that articulates with tibia and fibula to form the ankle joint?

A

talus

63
Q

What is the largest tarsal bone?

A

calcaneus, supports talus

64
Q

What metatarsal is thicker and stronger

A

1

What does a metatarsal bone consist of?

A

base (prox), shaft, head (dist)

66
Q

false: each toe has three phalanges except hallux has two

67
Q

What is inferior to the head of metatarsal I?

A

two unnamed sesamoid bones

68
Q

All the bones of the foot are arranged into:

A

two arches to support the distribute the body weight

69
Q

When do the arches of the foot fully develop?

A

12-13

70
