fibula

Question 3

what lines the surface of the bony condyles of knee

Answer 3

hyaline cartilage

Question 4

how do you know if the knee is lat or medial side

Answer 4

fibula presence = lateral

Question 5

what is special about the suprapatellar bursa

Answer 5

continuous with the knee joint cavity

all others are separate

Question 6

what is contained within the joint capsule but which is not in the joint space itself

Answer 6

fat pad - infrapatellar

Question 7

in what conditions can you expect to see an enlarged bursa of the knee

Answer 7

bursitis
intracapsular #
ruptured tendon

Question 8

the quadriceps tendon and patella ligament insert where

Answer 8

tibial tuberosity

Question 9

what are the 2 fibrocartilaginous discs that deepen the articular surface of the tibial condyles

Answer 9

menisci

Question 10

in cross section what shape does the menisci have in the knee

Answer 10

wedge shaped

Question 11

how can you tell the medial from lateral menisci

Answer 11

medial is more of a lunate C shape

lateral is ring shape

Question 12

which menisci is more mobile and why

Answer 12

Lateral is more mobile as the attachments are closer together so more of a pivot point

Question 13

how do the menisci appear in images

Answer 13

dark

Question 14

where is the anterior cruciate ligament attached

Answer 14

attaches anteriorly on tibia and posterior of femur

Question 15

where is the posterior cruciate ligament attached

Answer 15

attaches posteriorly on tibia and anteriorly of femur

Question 16

what is the path of the anterior cruciate ligament

Answer 16

flows laterally to inside of lateral femoral condyles

Question 17

what is the path of the posterior cruciate ligament

Answer 17

flows medially to inside of medial femoral condyles

Question 18

where does the lateral collateral ligament attach

Answer 18

head of fibula

Question 19

aside from bone what does the medial collateral ligament attach to

Answer 19

medial meniscus

Question 20

which 3 bones make up the ankle joint

Answer 20

tibia, fibula and (trochlea of) talus

Question 21

what are 5 bony landmarks of medial foot

Answer 21

big toe/MT1
tibia - medial malleolus 
head of talus
sustentaculum tali of calcaneus
navicular

Question 22

what are 2 bony landmarks of lateral foot

Answer 22

fibula - lateral malleolus

cuboid

Question 23

is the fibular relatively more ant or post at the ankle joint

Answer 23

posterior

Question 24

what is the sinus tarsi and where is it located

Answer 24

in the subtalar joint between the talus and calcaneus

osseous tunnel

Question 25

what 3 tendons pass behind the medial malleolus

Answer 25

tibialis posterior Flexor digitorum longus flexor hallicus longus

Question 26

what 2 tendons pass behind the lateral malleolus

Answer 26

peroneal/fibularis longus and brevis

Question 27

what other structure pass behind the medial malleolus into the tarsal tunnel along with tendons

Answer 27

posterior tibial artery and vein and tibial nerve

Question 28

the tarsal tunnel is on the med/lat aspect

Answer 28

medial aspect

Question 29

where does the calcaneal/achilles tendon insert

Answer 29

calcaneal tuberosity

Question 30

what lies deep to the achilles tendon

Answer 30

kaegers fat pad

Question 31

what are 4 ligaments of the ankle that is of interest

Answer 31

tibiocalcaneal posterior talofibular fibulocalcaneal anterior tibiotalar

Question 32

the shoulder joint is made primarily of the union of the humerus and scapula what other bone is involved in the shoulder complex

Answer 32

clavicle

Question 33

what part of the scapula does the clavicle articulate with

Answer 33

acromion process

Question 34

in what plane would you expect to pass through the scapula the quickest

Answer 34

coronal

Question 35

approaching from posterior in the coronal plane what part of the scapula do you expect to encounter first

Answer 35

scapular spine

Question 36

approaching from posterior in the coronal plane what part of the scapula do you expect to encounter last

Answer 36

coracoid process

Question 37

approaching from lateral in the sagittal plane what part of the scapula do you expect to encounter first

Answer 37

acromion

Question 38

what 2 muscles sit either side of the scapular spine on the posterior aspect of the scapula

Answer 38

supraspinatus | infraspinatus

Question 39

the humerus head is larger/smaller than the glenoid fossa and what does this allow - what is a con of this

Answer 39

larger allows greater range of motion but decreases stability

Question 40

what group of muscles insert on the tubercles of the humerus

Answer 40

rotator cuff

Question 41

which rotator cuff muscle passes inferior to the acromion before inserting on the humeral head

Answer 41

supraspinatus

Question 42

what tendon runs between the 2 humeral tubercles

Answer 42

long head of biceps

Question 43

what is special about the tendon of the long head of biceps compared to other muscles at the shoulder joint

Answer 43

it is intracapsular but extraarticular - ie it runs within the joint capsule
