40
Q

out of the adductors which 2 have 2 nerves

A

adductor magnus - obturator and sciatic

41
Q

in the last 20 degrees of the knee extension (open chain)

the tibia does what and femur does what

A

tibia- lateral rotation
femur - medial rotation

42
Q

ext- elastic/firm

46
Q

what degree does rotation between the tibia and femur occur

A

between full ext (0 and 20 degrees) at end of knee flexion

47
Q

which condyles articular surface on the tibia is longer and produces anterior tibial glide

A

medial condyle

48
Q

A

femoral NERVE
femoral ARTERY
femoral VEIN
LYMPHATIC

49
Q

51
Q

the medial meniscus is attached to what

A

MCL , semimembranosus

52
Q

what’s is called when Q angle is less than 0

A

genu varum
stress on LCL

53
Q

movements of patellofemoral joint

concave tibial plateau

56
Q

when in open chain what happens in flexion

A

tibia rolls and glides posteriorly on femur

57
Q

ligaments of patellofemoral joint

A

patellar ligament
medial and lateral patellofemoral

58
Q

ligament of mid tibiofibular joint

A

interosseous membrane

59
Q

articulating surfaces of MID tibiofibular joint

A

interosseous membrane connecting shaft of tibia and fibula

60
Q

explain screw home mechanism

A

rotation occurs on tibia and femur between 0 and 20 degrees of flexion

tibia glides anteriorly and PCL elongates

during last 20 degrees, anterior tibial glide persists medial condyle (longer)

prolonged anterior glide produces external rotation of tibia

61
Q

reverse of screw home mechanism

A

posterior tibial glide, ACL elongates
between 0 and 20 degrees flexion, posterior glide on medial side that produces internal tibial rotation
