Q

Q

What bone of knee is major weight-bearing bone of leg?

purp of patella

Q

medial menisici vs lateral mensici

140 deg

27
Q

When knee is bent/flex the Tibfemoral jt is capable of what?

A

internal and ext rot

28
Q

What is the screwing home mechanism?

A

During final few degrees of ext knee, the tibia externally rotate on femur bringing knee into closed pack or locked position

29

A

quads

31
Q

quads insertion

A
