Notch And Patella Flashcards
(16 cards)
Structures notch
Distal femoral condyles, fossa, patella, knee joint, prox tib-fib
ST border (site specific)
CR and CP notch
CR: perp to lower leg
CP: midline at knee joint
BTP notch
Intercondylar fossa open (no patella SI)
Tibial plateau SI prox/distal
No rotation notch
Main: medial and lateral surface of Intercondylar fossa in profile
1/2 of fibular head SI by tibia
Good knee flexing notch
Patellar apex just proximal to Intercondylar fossa
Structure PA pat
Patella and adjacent structures
CR and CP PA pat
CR: perp
Cp: mid-patella
Structure lat pat
Same as lateral knee but coned down
CR and CP lat pat
CR: perp
CP: patellofemoral joint space
Adequate rotation lat pat
Anterior aspect of medial and lateral condyle SI
Knee flexed lat pat
20-30
Main: patellofemoral joint open
Patella proximal to patellar surface of femur
Structure skyline
Patella
Anterior femoral condyles
Intercondylar sulci
Related ST
CR and CP skyline
CR: // to patellofemoral joint
CP: patellofemoral joint
BTP skyline
Apex and base of patella SI ant/post
Patellofemoral joint open
No rotation skyline
Main: lat femoral condyle is slightly anterior to medial femoral condyle
Knee flexing skyline
Tibial tuberosity posterior to Intercondylar sulcus
