Q

Describe the tibial femoral joint

A

It is a bicondylar joint that allows flexion extension, medial and lateral rotation.

19
Q

What is the patellofemoral joint?

A

It is a plane joint and its ligament is the patellar ligament

20
Q

List the ligaments of the tibiofemoral joint

A

Patellar ligament, lateral collateral (fibular) ligament, medial (tibial) collateral ligament, anterior cruciate ligament and posterior cruciate ligament

21
Q

What does the LCL ligament connect?

A

The lateral distal femur to the proximal fibula

22
Q

What does the MCL ligament attached

A

The medial femur to the tibia

23
Q

Describe the ACL

A

It stops the tibia from citing anteriorly ahead of the femur and it travels from anterior tibia to posterior femur and attaches to the lateral femur.

24
Q

Describe the PCL

A

It stops the tibia from sliding posteriorly behind the femur. It travels from posterior tibia to anterior femur and attaches to the medial femur.

25
Q

Describe the proximal tibiofibular joint

A

It is a plain joint between the proximal tibia and proximal fibula

26
Q

Describe the distal tibiofibular joint

A

It is a solid joint that attaches the distal fibula and tibia. The ligaments involved are the anterior and posterior tibiofibular ligaments.

27
Q

What is the talocrural joint?

A

It is a hinge joint that allows plantar, flexion and dorsiflexion

28
Q

What is the subtalar joint?

A

The second of two ankle joints it is a plane joint and it allows inversion and eversion

29
Q

What are the ligaments for the ankle joints

A

The posterior and anterior talofibular and the posterior and anterior tibiotalar

30
Q

What are the arteries and veins in the lower limb?

A

The tibial and fibular arteries and veins. There is an anterior and posterior tibial artery and vein but just one fibular artery and one fibular vein

31
Q

What nerves innervate the different compartments?

A

The common regular nerve innervates, the anterior and lateral compartments and a tibial nerve es the posterior compartment

32
Q

What are the muscles in the anterior compartment of the leg?

A

Tibialis anterior extensor digitorum longus and extensor hallucis longus

33
Q

What are the muscles in the lateral compartment of the leg

A

The fibularis longus and the fibularis brevis

34
Q

What are the muscles in the posterior compartment of the leg

A

The gastrocnemius then the soleus, then the flexor hallucis longus flexor, digitorum longus and tibialis posterior

35
Q

Describe the tibialis anterior

A

Its origin is the lateral tibial surface and its insertion is the dorsomedial surface of metatarsal 1. Its function is ankle dorsiflexion and inversion

36
Q

Describe the extensor digitorum longus

A

Its Origins are the lateral tibial condyle and the medial fibular surface. Its insertion is the dorsal surface of the lateral four phalanges, and its function is extension of the lateral four toes and ankle dorsiflexion

37
Q

Describe the extensor hallucis longus

A

Its origin is the medial surface of fibula and its insertion is the dorsal surface of the hallux. Its function is great. Toe extension and ankle dorsiflexion

38
Q

Describe the fibularis longus

A

Its origin is the upper lateral surface and head of fibula, its insertion is the plantar surface of metatarsal 1, and it does ankle Eversion and plantar flexion and supports the arch of the foot

39
Q

Describe the fibularis brevis

A

Its origin is the lower lateral surface of the fibular shaft, its insertion is the lateral aspect of metatarsal 5, and its function is ankle eversion and plantar flexion

40
Q

Describe the gastrocnemius

A

Its Origins are the posterior medial femoral condyle and the postero-lateral femoral condyle, It’s insertion is the posterior calcaneus via Achilles tendon and it aids in knee flexion and does ankle plantar flexion

41
Q

Describe the soleus

A

Its origin is the Soleal line of tibia and the posterior fibular head neck and shaft, its insertion is the posterior calcaneus via Achilles tendon and it does ankle plantar flexion

42
Q

Describe the flexor hallucis longus

A

Its origin is the posterior surface of fibula. Its insertion is the plantar surface of great toe and it flexes the great toe and does ankle plantar flexion

43
Q

Describe the flexor digitorum longus

A

Its origin is the posterior surface of tibia, its insertion is the plantar surface of lateral four phalanges, and its function is it flexes the lateral four toes and does ankle plantar flexion

44
Q

Describe the tibialis posterior

A

Its origin is the posterior tibia and fibula between FHL and FDL. Its insertion is the plantar surface of nearly all tarsal and metatarsal bones and its functions are ankle inversion and plantar flexion and supporting the medial Arch
