32
Describe the following ROM of flexion, ext, int rotation and external rotation of the knee.
Flexion 140 degrees Extension 5 to 15 degrees Internal rotation 30 degrees External rotation 40 degrees
33
Which ligaments restrict external rotation of the knee
Cruciate ligaments | Oblique popliteal ligaments
34
The oblique popliteal ligament extends from/to?
Medial condyle of the tibia to the lateral condyle of the femur
35
Which structures run through the intercondylar fossa of the knee?
``` Popliteal artery (medial) Popliteal vein (intermediate) Tibial nerve (lateral) ```
36
Which bursa is associated with hosuemaids knee?
Prepatellar bursitis
37
Name 4 bursa of the knee?
Suprapetellar bursa Prepatellar bursa Infrapatella bursa Deep infrapatella bursa
38
What is the nerve root level of the tibial nerve?
L4 to S3
39
What is the nerve root level of the peroneal nerve?
L4 to S2
40
Which nerve/level supplies the piriformis?
Nerve to the Piriformis | S1/2
41
Which nerve supplies the obturator internus/level?
Nerve to the obturator internus. | L5 to S1
42
Which nerve supplies the obturator externus/level?
Obturator L3/4
43
What is meant by the fabella?
Little bean
44
Where is the fabella located?
tendon of the lateral head of the gastrocnemius muscle
45
What is the correct name for the Patella tendon?
Ligamentum patellae
46
What is another name for the surface that the patella glides upon?
Trochlear groove
47
What structure covers the ends of bones within a synovial joint?
Hyaline cartilage
48
The popliteus muscle is responsible for what action?
Unlocking the knee
49
Which adductor muscle has an attachment to the adductor tubercle?
Adductor magnus
50
What structure attaches to the Gerdy's tubercle?
IT Band
51
What are the TWO main joint actions for the gastrocnemius muscle?
Knee flexion | Plantarflexion
52
Describe the screw home mechanism of the knee
Tibia rotates externally and the femur rotates externally to enter the closed packed position. During the last 30 degrees of knee extension, the tibia (open chain) or femur (closed chain) must externally or internally rotate, respectively, about 10 degrees. This slight rotation is due to inequality of the articular surface of femur condyles. Rotation must occur to achieve full extension and then flexion from full extension
53
What is the difference between the medial and lateral condylar surfaces of the femur?
The medial surface of the femur is larger The lateral condyle of the femur is more anterior, to prevent lateral displacement of the patella The lateral meniscis is larger in comparison to the medial
54
Which nerve when injured causes drop foot
Deep peroneal nerve
55
Which nerves supply the anterior knee?
Femoral and obturator
56
Nerve to the lateral compartment of the knee
Superficial peroneal
57
Nerve to the posterior compartment of the knee
Tibial
58
What are the lymph nodes of the knee called?
Popliteal
59
What are varicose veins and how do they form?
The valves of the veins become lax and weakened, allowing venous blood to back flow. The blood pools and collects causing the veins to adopt a warped, bulging appearance .
60
What is dvt? | What type of heat does it produce?
Venous blood that has clotted and attached to the vein wall, causing a blockage. Producing swelling and heat If the clot becomes dislodged it can cause a heart attack or lungs. Vivid
61
What is the medial term for a heart attack?
Myocardial infraction
62
What is the medial term for a blood vessel which blocks the lungs?
pulmonary embolus.
63
Myocardial infraction creates a referal pain down which arm?
Left
64
What is compartment syndrome? Which is this dangerous? What type of heat does it produce?
Bleeding /swelling within the muscle Compressive force through the arteries/nerves Cold
65
inflammation of a vein is called?
Phlebitis
66
A full thickness tear to the PCL results in what type of sign?
Sag sign
67
A full thickness tear to the M.C.L, the A.C.L and the medial menisci is known as?
The unhappy triad
