Sports Flashcards
What is the blood supply of the ACL?
Middle geniculate artery
What is the innervation of the ACL?
posterior articular nerve
What is a Segond fracture?
Avulsion off proximal lateral tibia; pathognomonic for ACL tear; represents bony avulsion by the ALL (anterolateral ligament)
What is the bone bruising pattern seen on MRI in an ACL rupture?
middle 1/3 of LFC (sulcus terminalis) posterior 1/3 of lateral tibial plateau
What is the empty notch sign seen on MRI?
Fluid next to lateral wall of LFC; indicative of ACL rupture
Name these structures
middle genicular artery supplies ACL
Which bundle of the ACL is primarily responsible for rotational stability?
posterolateral bundle of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is primarily responsible for rotational stability of the knee
What is the origin of the LCL?
posterior (3.1 mm) and proximal (1.4 mm) to lateral epicondyle; posterior and proximal to origin of popliteus; popliteus origin is 18.5 mm from LCL origin
What is the relationship of the origin of the LCL and the origin of the popliteus?
posterior and proximal to origin of popliteus; popliteus origin is 18.5 mm from LCL origin
What is the most anterior structure on the proximal fibula?
The LCL
What is the posterior wall sign?
Posterior rim of acetabulum is medial to center of femoral head (seen in acetabular retroversion)
What is a normal hip α angle?
less than 42 deg; greater than 50 deg indicates Cam lesion
What is a normal head-neck offset ratio?
0.17; <0.17 indicates cam deformity
What is a normal lateral center edge angle and a anterior center edge angle?
40 deg and 20 deg
What is the Ganz open hip surgical dislocation?
Kocher approach - split the glute max then perform a digastric greater trochanter osteotomy, capsulotomy is performed, dislocate anteriorly.
