W10 lower extremity anatomy and pathologides Flashcards
what compose the knee joint?
femur, tibia, fibula, patella
what are two knee joint ligaments and where are they?
ACL – lateral femoral condyle to medial tibial condyle
PCL – antero-lateral femoral condyle to tibial plateau
what do meniscus in the knee do? what material and what shape?
Cushion join space= fibrocartilaginous and crescent shaped
what are two meniscus in the knee? what shape and where are they?
Medial – c-shaped, between femur medial condyle and tibial medial aspect
Lateral – circular and more mobile. Arises ligaments of Wrisberg and Humphry
what are the three gluteus muscles and where are they?
Gluteus maximus – from external ilium, dorsal sacrum and lateral coccyx, into gluteal tuberosity of femur. Posterior to iliotibial tract. Covers gluteus medius.
Gluteus minimus – from external ilium b/w ant and post gluteal lines, into lateral greater trochanter
Gluteus medius – from external ilium b/w inf and ant gluteal lines, into antero-lateral greater trochanter
what are two deep muscles and where are they?
Piriformis – superior deep muscle. From ant sacrum b/w ant sacral foramina, into medial superior greater trochanter
Quadratus femoris – most inferior deep muscle. From lateral sacrum, ant to ischial tuberosity, into intertrochanteric crest of proximal femur
what are the quadriceps and where are they?
Vastus medius – from anteromedial intertrochanteric line, into patella via quadriceps tendon Vastus intermedius – from upper 2/3 anterolateral femur, into patella via quadriceps tendon Vastus lateralis (largest) – from greater trochanter and linea aspera, into patella via quadriceps tendon Rectus femoris – from anteroinferior iliac spine into patella via quad tendon
what is the patellar tendon?
continuation of quadriceps tendon below patella.
where is the sartorius?
most superficial in anterior thigh. From asis, into tibial medial surface
where is the gracilis?
most superficial in medial thigh, descends vertically. From pubic ramus and body, into tibial body medial surface.
what are the three hamstrings muscles? where are they?
Biceps femoris – short head from ischial tuberosity, long head from femoral linea aspera, both into fibula head and tibial lateral condyle
Semitendinosus – from ischial tuberosity, into tibial medial surface proximal part
Semimembranosus – from ischial tuberosity, into tibial medial condyle
what are the three lower leg muscles?
Soleus – from fibula head and tibial medial border, into calcaneus via Achilles tendon
Gastrocnemius – from femur medial and lateral condyles and knee capsule, into calcaneus via Achilles tendon
Tibialis anterior – from tibial lateral condyle and body, and interosseous membrane, into first metatarsal and first cuneiform
what is the ankle composed of?
tibia, fibula, talus
what is the achilles tendon formed by? Where does it attach to?
junction of plantaris, gastrocnemius and soleus. Attaches to calcaneus posteriorly.
what bones are in the foot?
= calcaneus, navicular, cuboid, three cuneiform bones, metatarsals, phalanges and distal phalanges
