WHAT TYPE OF JOINT IS A KNEE
HINGE

Although is probably more appropriate to call it a double condyloid joint because it can rotate when flexed
T/F KNEE IS LARGEST AND MOST SUPERFICIAL JOINT
T
THREE ARTICULATIONS KNEE
Lateral tibiofemoral
Medial tibiofemoral
Patellofemoral
KNEE MOVEMENT RANGES
Flexion 120-150°
Extension 5-10°
Internal rotation 10°
External rotation 30-40
KNEE AXIS FOLLOWS AN
ARCH
D LOCKING OF KNEE (SCREW HOME MECH)
AS WE EXTEND KNEE, FEMUR ROTATES MEDIALLY OF TIBIA AND LOCKS. THIS ALLOWS US TO SUPPORT OUR WEIGHT AS WE STAND.

AS WE STAND, MUSCLES RELAX AND LIGAMENTS ARE TAUT.
--------MUSCLE UNLOCKS THE KNEE.
POPLITEUS MUSCLE UNLOCKS THE KNEE.
PARTS PATELLA
ASE APEX,

ARTICULAR SURFACE HAS MADIEAL AND LATERAL FACUETS AND
VERTICAL RIDGE
NORMAL ALIGHMENT DEGREES
170 TO 175 DEGREES. WE ARE IN A LITTLE OBIT OF A GENU VALGUS NORMAL
D GENU VALGUM
LESS THAN 170
D GENU VARUM
GREATER THAN 180 DEGREES
D GENU RECURVATUM
HYPEREXTENSION OF KNEE. KNEE IS POSTERIOR TO ANKLE.
PARTS KNEE JOINT CAPSLE
External fibrous layer

Internal synovial membrane
D LIG OF KNEE
PATELLAR LIGAEMNT

Patellar retinacula support patella alignment

Collateral ligaments
Medial (tibial)
Lateral (Fibular)

POPLITEAL LIGAMENTS

CRUCIATE LIGAMENTS=ACL AND PCL

INTRA ARTICULAR LIGS
WHAT'S UNDERNEATH PATELLAR LIG?
INFRAPATELLAR FAT PAD
AND INFRAPATELLAR BURSA
T/F PATELLAR RETINACULA ARE NOT REALLY LIGAMENTS BUT PART OF JOINT CAPSLE
T
Medial collateral ligament ATTACHMENTS
Proximal attachment: medial femoral condyle

Distal attachments
Superficial layer: proximal medial tibia posterior to pes anserinus

Deep layer: attaches to the medial meniscus and tibial at joint line
LAT COLATERAL LIG ATTACHMENTS
Proximal attachment: lateral femoral condyle
Inserts head of fibula

Not part of the jt. capsule
WHAT ARE THE POPLITIAL LIGAMENTS AND THEIR F
Oblique popliteal LIG, strengthens the jt. capsule posteriorly

Arcuate popliteal LIG, “Y” shape and passes over the popliteus muscle
LOCATION CUCIATE LIGS ACL AND PCL
Located in the central portion of the knee

They are within the capsule of the knee surrounded by synovial sheath that separates them from the synovial space (i.e., synovial fluid does not come in contact with the ligaments)
ACL NAMED BY ITS
ATTACHMENT ON THE TIBIAL PLATEAU
ATTACHMENT ACL
LATERAL FEMORAL CONDYLE

ANTERIOR MEDIAL TIBIAL PLATEAU
FUNCTION ACL
resists anterior translation of tibia on femur (promotes gliding motion)
resists hyperextension
resists internal rotation of tibia
PCL ATTACHMENT
Medial femoral condyle
Posterior tibial plateau
PCL F
resists posterior translation of tibia on femur
2 INTRA ARTICULAR LIGS AND FUNCTION
Coronary ligament
Attach to menisci and tibial condyles

Transverse ligament
Attach to anterior
F INTRA ARTICULAR LIGS
Stabilizers for the menisci
D MEDIAL MENISCUS
C shaped
Anterior and posterior horns attach to tibia
MCL attaches to it
D LATERAL MENISCUS
O shaped (almost)
It has horns too!
Posterior meniscofemoral ligament
BURSA KNEE
THERE ARE 12

Just know the Suprapatellar, Prepatellar, infrapatellar and semimembranosus bursa
BLOOD SUPPLY KNEE
Genicular anastomosis

****The middle genicular branches from the popliteal artery supply the cruciate ligaments, synovial membranes, and peripheral margins of the menisci
NERVES KNEE
EVERY MUSCLE THAT CROSSES KNEE SENDS OFF ARTICULAR BRANCH
ANKLE JOINT TYPE
Talocrural joint

Uniaxial hinge type synovial joint
PARTS TALUS
Head
Neck
Body
Trochlea
Talar sulcus
MEDIAL LIGAMENT OF ANKLE=
DELTOID LIGAMENT (MEDIAL LIG)
4 PARTS DELTOID LIGAMENT
Posterior tibiotalar
Tibiocalcaneal
Tibionavicular
Anterior tibiotalar
3 LATERAL LIGAMENTS OF ANKLE
POSTERIOR TALOFIBULAR LIGAMENT

ANTERIOR TALOFIBULAR LIGAMENT

CALCANEOFIBULAR LIGAMENT
BLOOD SUPPLY ANKLE
Malleolar branches of the fibular, anterior and posterior tibial arteries
NERVES ANKLE
Nerves from the tibial and, deep fibular
RANGE OF MOTION TALOCURARAL JOINT
DORSIFLEXTION=20 TO 30 DEG
PLANTARFLEXION= 40 TO 50 DEG
DISTAL TIBIOFIBULAR JOINT TYPE
SYNDESMOSIS

NEED TO BE STABLE FOR NORMAL NAKLE FUNCTION
WHAT STABALIZES DISTAL TIBIOFIBULAR JOINT
2 LIGS
WHAT STRUCTURES CROSS THE ANKLE
LATERAL
BLT-BACON LETTUCE TOMATOE

LOOK UP
D 1ST DEGREE LIG INJURY
microtrauma, some pain, minimal swelling, no loss of function
D 2ND DEGREE LIG INJURY
incomplete macrotrauma, pain, moderate loss of function, swelling, slight, instability
D 3RD DEGREE LIG INJURY
complete macrotrauma, pain, loss of function, severe instability
T/F ACL most prevalent 3rd degree sprain in the knee
T
T/F PCL most common dashboard injury in auto accident
T
HOW CAN YOU GET AN ACL INJURTY
Most ACL injuries are non-contact

Running and cutting sharply in an erect posture, landing from a jump without bending the knees sufficiently.
SIGNS ACL INJURY
Hear a “pop”
Immediate swelling
Knee “giving way”
FACTORS RELATED TO ACL INJURIES
Higher in females
Narrowing of the femoral notch
Q-angle
Hormonal changes
Development of quad and hamstring musculature
HOW CAN YOU GET A PCL INJURY?
fall on a flexed knee
dashboard injury
MENISCAL LESIONS MECH
Mech – weight bearing combined w/ rotary force, squatting, cutting
MENISCAL LESIONS SX
S&S – gradual effusion, joint line point tenderness, locking or giving away, pain on squatting

Medial meniscus has less mobility due to its attachment to the medial collateral ligament and capsule
Medial is injured more often
PAPETELLAR BURSITIS MECH, SX, TX
Mech – contact to the anterior potion of the knee

S&S – swelling directly over the patella, itching or burning sensation

Manage – compression, NSAIDS, Rest
WHAT IS MOST COMMONLY SPRAINED LIG IN BODY
The Anterior Talofibular ligament is the most commonly sprained ligament in the body
D MEDIAL AVERSION ANKLE SPRAIN. MECH AND SX.
5-10% of ankle sprains
Mech – forced eversion – foot pronation more susceptible

S&S – pain on weight bearing, may result in some pronation
SYNDESMOTIC/ HIGH PAIN MECH
forced dorsiflexion and external rotation of foot
SX SYNDESMOTIC/ HIGH PAIN
severe pain and loss of function

Point tender over the anterior tibiofibular lig. especially during wt. bearing, and passive external rotation of the foot.
TX SYNDESMOTIC/ HIGH PAI
BRACING, SCREW, BOOT

LONG HEALING TIME
