100
This bone is the rock in the ankle articulation
What is the Talus
100
This structure is the concave portion of the hip joint.
What is the acetabulum
100
This anatomical structure serves as a common insertion point for the quads
What is the tibial tuberosity
100
This anatomical structure prevents anterior translation of the tibia off of the femur.
What is the ACL
200
In regards to simple joint classification, the knee joint is considered this type of articulation.
What is a hinge joint
200
This structure is one half of the cradle that makes up the ankle joint and is the distal portion of the tibia.
What is the medial malleolus
200
This hip structure is the common injury of the hip pointer.
What is the ASIS
200
This muscle aids in patellar tracking by providing a medial pull, inserting on the medial border of the patella
What is the VMO
200
This ligament is the most often sprained ligament in the classic inversion sprain.
What is the anterior talo-fibular ligament
300
To articulate with the concavity of the menisci, the femoral condyles are structurally this.
What is concave
300
This articulation of the foot allows for inversion and eversion movements to occur.
What is the subtalar joint
300
The hip bone consists of the ilium, ischium, and pubis and is often referred collectively as this.
What is the os coxa.
300
This powerful hip abductor inserts on the greater trochanter of the femur
What is the gluteus medius
300
This ligament structure is one third of the lateral ligament complex and prevents isolated eversion ankle joint laxity
What is the calcaneofibular ligament
400
This fibrocartilage structure in the knee is c shaped and absorbs the stresses of ambulation.
What is the medial meniscus
400
This rowed collection of tarsal and metatarsal bones are responsible bow portion of this anatomical shock absorber
What is the medial longitudinal arch
400
This hallux hinge joint allows for flexion and extension of the first distal phalanx
What is the 1st interphalangeal joint
400
This great toe extensor inserts on the first distal phalanx
What is extensor hallicus longus
400
This knee ligament is often compromised in football with a forced valgus stress to the knee
What is the medial collateral ligament
500
As knee approaches full extension tibia must screw home in this rotational direction to achieve proper alignment of tibial & femoral condyles
What is external rotation
500
This injury mechanism is primarily causative of severe, 3rd degree tibiofibular sprains.
What is forced eversion
500
This immovable joint lies just distal and lateral to the tibiofemoral joint
What is the proximal tibiofibular joint
500
This ankle everter inserts on the base of the first metatarsal
What is peroneus longus
500
These ligaments are involved with forced ankle eversion injury mechanisms which causes a spread of the interosseous ligament.
What are the anterior and posterior tibiofibular ligaments
