25
# Biomechanics The femoral head projects ____ and slightly ____ for its articulation with acetabulum. ## Footnote Inert Tissue
* Medially * Anteriorly
26
# Biomechanics Coxa vara describes an angle of inclination ____ than 125°. Coxa valga describes an angle of inclination ____ than 125°. ## Footnote Inert Tissue
* Less * Greater
27
# Biomechanics Normally, the femoral neck projects about ____° anterior to the mediolateral axis through femoral condyles. What is this called? ## Footnote Inert Tissue
8-15° Anteversion
28
# Biomechanics What is the center-edge angle of the hip? What is a normative value for this measurement? ## Footnote Inert Tissue
A line drawn between the center of the femoral head and the superior lip of the acetabulum. A normative range is 25-40 degrees with an average of 31degrees.
29
# Biomechanics Where does the ligamentum flavum attach and what does it limit? ## Footnote Inert Tissue
The ligament flavum arises from the lower half of the anterior surface of the lamina above and attaches to the posterior surface and upper margin of the lamina below. It limits spinal flexion.
30
# Biomechanics Where do the supraspinous and interspinous attach and what do they limit? ## Footnote Inert Tissue
The ligaments run between adjacent spinous processes. They limit spinal flexion.
31
# Biomechanics What are three functions of the Anterior Longitudinal Ligament? ## Footnote Inert Tissue
1. Limits extension or excessive lordosis in cervical and lumbar regions. 2. Reinforces anterior sides of IVDs 3. Provides Proprioceptive Input
32
# Biomechanics What three joints make up the pelvic ring? ## Footnote Inert Tissue
1. Left Sacroiliac Joint 2. Right Sacroiliac Joint 3. Pubic Symphysis
33
# Biomechanics List the two major components of intervertebral discs and the structure that bounds them superiorly and inferiorly. ## Footnote Inert Tissue
1. Nucleus Pulposus 2. Annulus * End Plates
34
# Biomechanics What are the attachments and functions of the medial collateral ligament of the knee? ## Footnote Inert Tissue
Medial Femoral Epicondyle to the Medial Condyle of the Tibia 1. Resists valgus (abduction) 2. Resists knee extension 3. Resists extremes of axial rotation (especially knee external rotation)
35
# Biomechanics What are the attachments and functions of the lateral collateral ligament of the knee? ## Footnote Inert Tissue
Lateral Femoral Epicondyle to the Fibular Head 1. Resists varus (adduction) 2. Resists knee extension 3. Resists extremes of axial rotation
36
# Biomechanics What are the attachments and functions of the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee? ## Footnote Inert Tissue
Posteromedial lateral femoral condyle to the anteromedial tibial intercondylar area. 1. Most fibers resist extension (either excessive anterior translation of tibia, posterior translation of femur, or a combination thereof) 2. Resists extremes of varus, valgus, and axial rotation
37
# Biomechanics What are the attachments and functions of the posterior cruciate ligament of the knee? ## Footnote Inert Tissue
Anterolateral medial femoral condyle to the posterolateral tibial intercondylar area. 1. Most fibers resist knee flexion (either excessive posterior translation of tibia or anterior translation of femur, or a combination thereof) 2. Resists extremes of varus, valgus, and axial rotation
38
# Biomechanics What are the three lateral collateral ligaments of the ankle? ## Footnote Inert Tissue
* Anterior Talofibular Ligament (ATFL) * Calcaneofibular Ligament (CFL) * Posterior Talofibular Ligament (PTFL)
39
# Biomechanics The transverse tarsal joint consists of what two distinct articulations? What are their function? What are other names for this joint? ## Footnote Inert Tissue
* Talonavicular Joint * Calcaneocuboid Joint They work cooperatively with the subtalar joint to control most of the pronation and supination posturing of the foot. Mid-tarsal Joint, Chopart's Joint
