Test 4 Joints

Question 0

The fibers of the interosseius membrane and all ligaments of the tibiofibular articulations run …

Answer 0

Inferiorly from the tibia to the fibula, resisting the downward pull placed on the fibula by most muscles attached to it

Question 1

The tibia and fibula are connected by 2 joints…

Answer 1

The superior tibiafibular and the tibiafibular syndesmosis (inferior tibiofibular joint)…move simultaneously

Question 2

Superior tibiofibular joint..what type?

Answer 2

Synovial plane type of joint between the flat facet on the fibular head and a similar facet located posterolaterally on the lateral tibial condyle

Question 3

Tibiofibular syndesmosis is a …

Answer 3

Compound fibrous joint…. Essential for stability of ankle joint because it keeps the lateral malleolus firmly against the lateral surface of the talus

Question 4

Unhappy triad

Answer 4

Acl, tibial collateral lig, medial meniscus

Question 5

Acl prevents

Answer 5

The femur from sliding posteriorly on the tibia and hyperextension of the knee and limits medial rotation of the femur

Question 6

Pcl prevents

Answer 6

The femur from sliding anteriorly on the tibia, particularly when the knee is flexed

Question 7

The knee is primarily a ___ type of joint

Answer 7

Hinge synovial

Question 8

The knee joint consists of 3 articulations

Answer 8

Two femorotibial articulations (lateral and medial condyles of femur and tibia)
One intermediate femoropatellar articulation( between patella and femur)

Question 9

The most important muscle in stabilizing the knee joint?

Answer 9

Quadriceps femoris, particularly vastus medialis and lateralis

Question 10

Cruciate ligaments are intracapsular but ______, hence get no blood supply

Answer 10

retrosynovial

Question 11

Functions of the menisci of the knee joint

Answer 11

Deepen the articulate surface of tibia and play a role in shock Absorption

• Aid in lubrication and nutrition of joint
• Improve congruency of joint
• Distribute stress across articular cartilage • Reduce friction in the knee joint
• Poorly vascularized and innervated – Partly vascular in outer 1/3
– Poor healing potential

Question 12

Limiting structures of knee flexion

Answer 12

Soft tissue mostly…
Tension of rectus femoris, vastus medialis, lateralis, and intermedius
Soft tissue apposition posteriorly

Question 13

Limiting structures of extension

Answer 13

Anterior cruciate and posterior cruciate, fibular and tibial collateral, posterior joint capsule, and oblique popliteal lig

Question 14

Limiting structures of internal rotation of knee

Answer 14

Anterior cruciate lig and posterior cruciate lig

Question 15

Limiting structures of external rotation of knee

Answer 15

Tibial and fibular collateral ligs

Question 16

To unlock knee

Answer 16

Popliteus contracts and laterally rotates femur

Question 17

At the ankle weight is transferred to the

Answer 17

Trochlea of the Talus, which articulates with the two malleoli

Question 18

The head of the talus articulates anteriorly with the ______ and rests partially on the ______

Answer 18

Navicular

Sustentaculum tali of the calcaneous

Question 19

What Converts anterior roll to spin during knee extension?

Answer 19

Pcl

Question 20

Calcanofibular

Question 22

Most common ankle sprain…

Answer 22

With inversion … Anterior Talofibular ligament disrupted

Question 23

Subtalar

Answer 23

Plane synovial

Allows eversion and inversion

Question 24

Talonavicular

Answer 24

Question 30

Interphalangeal

Answer 30

– Synovial hinge | – Allows flexion/extension

Question 31

Patellofemoral joint

Answer 31

Modified plane synovial joint

Question 32

Fibular collateral ligament
