Lower Leg
This joint is a fibrous joint in the lower leg
The patella is this type of bone
What is a sesamoid bone
This region of the foot contains 7 bones
What are tarsals
This region of the foot contains 5 bones
What are the metatarsals
This term describes adduction of the wrist
What is ulnar deviation
These bones participate in the knee joint
What is the tibia, femur, and patella
These are the attachments for the medial collateral ligament in the lower leg
What are the medial femoral condyle and medial surface of tibia
This longitudinal arch does not make contact with the ground
What is the medial longitudinal arch
This arch of the foot is supported by long plantar ligament, short plantar ligament, bifurcate ligament, and plantar fascia
What is the lateral longitudinal arch
This pelvis has these attributes:
-upright slope of iliac spine
-narrow width between ischial tuberosities
-oval/heart inlet
What is a male pelvis
This structure attaches the meniscus to the tibial plateau
What are the coronary ligaments
This ligament attaches to the lateral epicondyle of femur and the fibular head
What is the lateral collateral ligament
Eversion and inversion of the ankle occurs at this joint
What is the subtalar joint
The ankle is most stable in this position
What is dorsiflexion
The arch of the foot created by the bases of metatarsals 1-5
What is the transverse arch
This ligament has the following attributes:
-anterior portion of intercondylar eminence
-prevents anterior dislocation of tibia on femur
-runs in a posterior/superior direction
What is the anterior cruciate ligament
This ligament has the following attributes:
-posterior aspect of intercondylar eminence
-prevents posterior dislocation of tibia on femur
-runs in an anterior direction toward the knee joint
What is the posterior cruciate ligament
What are the proximal calcaneus, distal cuboid, and distal navicular
This term is used to describe an excessively flat foot
What is pes planus
This ligament attaches to the body of pubis and femoral neck and is tight in hip extension and abduction
What is the pubofemoral ligament
In growing children/adolescents, the attachment of the quadriceps at the tibial tuberosity may be weak as the muscles and bones are growing while having high activity levels. This can cause damage to the tuberosity
What is Osgood-Schlatter's
The medial femoral condyle is longer than the lateral femoral condyle. When the moves into terminal extension, the lateral condyle runs out of articular surface while the medial side still has room which allows it to go further causing rotation. This allows terminal extension to be reached which increases ROM at the knee
What is the Screw-Home mechanism
This ligament supports the head of the talus and can also be called the spring ligament
This bone is the strongest bone in the foot
What is the calcaneus
The radio-carpal joint is this type of joint
What is a condyloid joint
