explain an intracapsular fracture
fracture of femoral neck

what type of joint is the knee joint
synovial hinge joint
what are three things a synovial joint has
articular or joint capsule
synovial fluid
articular cartilage
what makes up the femorotibial joint
femoral and tibial condyles
what makes up the femoropatellar joint
posterior surface of patella and anterior surface of femur
held together by patella ligament
function of tibial collateral ligament (medial collateral)
connects femur, medial meniscus, and tibia
provides medial joint stabilization and prevents tibia from shifting too far laterally on the femur
function of fibular collateral ligament (lateral collateral)
connects femur to the fibula
prevents tibia from moving too far medially on the femur
function of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
inserts on the anterior side of tibia and posterior aspect of the femur
prevents hyperextension and tibia from moving too far anteriorly
function of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)
inserts on the posterior side of tibia and anterior aspect of femur
prevents tibia from displacing posteriorly
