Joints
This is the most complex joint of the body
What is the tibiofemoral joint
This ligament stretches from the lateral condyle of femur to the lateral surface of head of fibula
What is the lateral collateral ligament
What ligament connects the two fibrocartilage discs of the meniscus
What is transverse ligament (connects the discs anteriorly)
What are the articulations of the femoropatellar joint
What is patella and patellar surface of femur
What artey supplies the knee during flexion?
What are popliteal arteries?
These 2 structures cushion the tibiofemoral joint
What is the medial and lateral menisci and articular cartilage
This ligament provides medial stability to the knee
What is the medial collateral ligament
This meniscus is C-shaped and lines the medial border of the medial condyle of tibia
What is medial meniscus
This fat pad cushions the femoropatellar joint
What is the infrapatellar fat pad
This is the common insertion of the sartorius, gracilis, and semitendinosis
What is the pes anserinus?
The articulations of the tibiofemoral joint are between these two bones only
What is tibia and femur (NOT FIBULAAA)
Which ligament limits hyperextension?
What is the anterior cruciate ligament?
This meniscus is almost a complete circle and lines the lateral border of the lateral condyle of tibia
What is the lateral meniscus
This tendon inserts into the superior patella
What is the quadriceps femoris tendon
These bones are reshaped and fitted in a total knee replacement
What is femur and tibia
These 2 main ligaments stabilize the tibiofemoral joint
Extrinsic ligaments and intrinsic ligaments
Which ligament prevents posterior sliding of tibia and is important for walking down stairs?
What is the posterior cruciate ligament
What is the most often reason someone tears their meniscus
What is twisting a bent knee
This ligament extends from the patella to tibial tuberosity
What is the patellar ligament
These are the nerves that the sciatic nerve splits into
What is the tibial nerve, sural nerve, and common fibular nerve
Name the extrinsic and intrinsic ligaments that stabilize the tibiofemoral joint
Extrinsic: LCL, MCL, patella
Intrinsic: ACL and PCL
If a patient has twisted their femur and tibia in opposite directions under full body weight what have they torn?
What is the ACL tear
Medial collateral ligament, medial meniscus, and anterior cruciate ligament
These 3 things strengthen the anterior tibiofemoral joint
What is the tendon, ligament, and patella
What is the femur, oblique popliteal ligament, and popliteal fascia
