Exam 1 Flashcards
(91 cards)
iliofemoral ligament
O: AIIS, acetabular rim
I: greater trochanter and intertrochanteric line
-strongest of the hip ligaments
-prevents hyperextension
pubofemoral ligament
O: ant/inf body and superior ramus of the pubis
I: joint capsule and medial part of iliofemoral ligament
-tightens with ext and abd
ischiofemoral ligament
O: ischial portion of acetabular rim
I: medial to greater trochanter
-weakest of the 3 ligaments
Extracapsular ligaments of the knee
- LCL (doesn’t reinforce capsule)
- MCL
- Oblique popliteal lig. (post)
- Arcuate lig. (post)
Intra-articular ligaments of the knee
- ACL
- PCL
- Transverse lig.
- all don’t reinforce capsule
medial meniscus
- c shaped
- attached to 5 sites
lateral meniscus
- o shaped
- 3 attachments
LCL
- unattached to capsule
- attach to lateral epicondyle
- inserts on head of fibula
- cordlike
- resists varus force
MCL
- reinforces joint capsule
- flat, ribbon like
- superficial layer attaches to medial epicondyle
- deep inserts on medial tibial condyle
- have a bursa in between the layers
- resists valgus force
oblique popliteal ligament
- continuation of semimembranosus
- rums lateral to posterior medial of lateral femoral condyle
arcuate ligament
-runs from fibular head to lateral condyle of femur and popliteal lig.
ACL
- medial portion of lateral femoral condyle to medial tibial plateau
- main restraint to anterior tibial translation
- protects against hyperextension
PCL
-posterior/lateral aspect of tibial spine to lateral aspect of medial femoral condyle
transverse ligament:
-connects the menisci to each other along their anterior edges
portions of the cruciate ligaments are ___ in every joint position
taut
order of muscles that originate on the lateral femoral condyle
superior:
- plantaris
- lateral head of gastrocnemius
- popliteus
what joint does not contribute to motion at the knee joint:
superior tibiofibular joint
articularis genu
-helps pull suprapatellar bursa and synovium from joint
prevents entrapment of capsule
main function of fibula
: to be a site of muscle attachment
groove for flexor hallucis longus tendon on :
talus
groove for fibularis longus tendon on:
cuboid
deltoid ligament
Anterior tibiotalar part
Tibionavicular part
Tibiocalcaneal part
Posterior tibiotalar part
Normal angle of inclination of femur:
115-140 degrees
normal hip torsion angle
10-20 degrees
anterior
-retroversion rotated less than 10 deg anterior to frontal plan
-anteversion rotated greater than 20 deg
