Intercondyloid Eminence
Articular facets (tibial plateau)
Tibial Tuberosity

27
Q

What is the Intercondyloid Eminence?

A

Superior surface of the tibial head made into 2 parts - medial and lateral intercondylar tubercles

28
Q

What is the Tibial Plateau?

A

2 facets that articulate with the femur. The plateau slopes about 10-20 degrees

29
Q

Where is the Tibial Tuberosity located?

A

Anterior portion of the proximal extremity, but distal to the condyles

30
Q

What is the ridge of the Tibia body?

A

Called the crest and is referred to as the shin

31
Q

What makes up the distal extremity of the Tibia?

A

Medial Malleolus
Fibular notch

32
Q

What is the fibular notch?

A

On the distal end of the Tibia, where the distal end of the fibula fits

33
Q

How is the Fibula located to the Tibia?

A

Lateral and posterior

34
Q

What makes up the proximal portion of the fibula?

A

Apex, head and neck

35

37
Q

Where is the patella located?

A

Above the knee joint

38
Q

What is the intercondylar fossa?

A

Notch very deep on the posterior aspect of the femur, between the condyles

39
Q

Which condyle of the femur extends more distally?

A

Medial condyle

40
Q

is the angle of the femur greated on a woman or man? Why?

A

Woman - broadness of hips and they are usually shorter

41
Q

What is the adducter tubercle?

A

Raised area that receives a tendon on the medial side of the femur above the condyle

42
Q

What are the medial and lateral epicondyles of the femur?

A

Rough prominences on the outermost tips of the medial and lateral condyles

43
Q

What does the condyles of the femur articulate with?

A

Tibia

44
Q

What is the patellar surface?

A

Surface of the femur located directly posterior to the patella - it’s also known as the trochlear groove/intercondylar surface

45
Q

What is the knee joint proper?
