Intercondylar fossa
Name the classification, mobility type and movement type of:
A. Patellofemoral joint
B. Tarsometatarsal joint
C. Union of acetabulum
What is...
A. Synovial; diarthrodial; saddle (sellar)
B. Synovial; diarhrodial; plane (gliding)

The abnormal separation between the first and second metatarsals. Name the projections used to determine this injury.
What is...
Lisfranc joint injury
Weight-bearing AP and lateral foot projections.
Over rotation or under rotation of the knee is seen by this protuberance. What happens to the fibular head when this occurs?
What is...
Adductor tubercle on the medial condyle. Over rotation, less superimposition of fibular head. Under rotation, more superimposition of fibular head.

What is...
Sacroiliac joints, Symphysis Pubis, Union of the Acetabulum and hip joints.
Most common fracture in older or geriatric patients.
What are the two causes that lead to this fracture?
What is...
Proximal femur (hip) fracture
Osteroporosis- loss of bone mass from metabolic or other factors.
Avascular necrosis- loss of blood circulation and cell death.
Both lead to weakening or collapse of weight bearing joints (hip joint).
