Articulating Bones of the Knee

Femoropatellar: Patella and Femur


Tibiofemoral: lateral femur and tibia, medial femur and tibia

Anatomical Characteristics of the knee

meniscus;


joint cavity is partially enclosed by a capsule;


Synovial cavity has complicated shape;


many bursae exist

Movements allowed by t he knee

tibiofemoral: primarily hinge, some rotation


(Flexion, Extension, some rotation during flexion and extension)


Femoropatellar: Plate


(Patella glides over distal end of femur during flexion)

Joint Stability of the knee

Capsular and extracapsular ligaments prevent hyperextension;


Cruciate ligaments prevent anterior-posterior displacement


Knee capsule is reinforced by muscle tendons

Glenohumeral Joint

Shoulder

Articulating Bones of the Shoulder

Humerus and scapula

Anatomical Characteristics of the shoulder

articular capsule is thin and loose;


Ball and socket joint


Labrum helps support humerus into glenoid fossa

Movements allowed by the shoulder

most freely moveable joint in the body;


multiaxial: flexion, extension, hyperextension, abduction, adduction, Rotation, Circumduction

Joint Stability of the Shoulder

Anterior ligaments reinforce shoulder;


Muscle tendons contribute most to stability:


Biceps Tendon (long head)=superstabilizer


Rotator Cuff Tendons: supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, and teres minor

Articulating Bones of the elbow

Primarily Humerus and Ulna;


Radius also articulates with humerus but does not contribute to hinge: Radius rotates over ulna allowing supination and pronation

Anatomical Characteristics of the Elbow

Close Grip of Trochlea (Humerus) and Trochlear Notch (Ulna);


Thin articular capsule;


Capsular ligaments prevent side to side movement

Movements allowed by the elbow

Flexion and extension only;


Stable operating hinge joint

Joint stability of elbow

Great bone-bone interaction;


Ulnar and Radial collateral ligaments prevent side to side movements;


Tendons of arm muscles provide security:


Biceps Brachii and Triceps Brachii

Articulating Bones of Hip

Femur and Hip bone

Anatomical Characteristics of Hip

Socket is enhanced with acetabular labrum;


Thick articular capsule completely encloses the joint;


Strong ligaments reinforce the capsule;


Ligament of the head of the femur holds head of femur into acetabulum

Movement allowed by the Hip

Good range of motion, but less than shoulder;


Multiaxial: Flexion, extension, hyperextension, abduction, adduction, rotation, circumduction

Joint stability of the Hip

Strong ligaments and deep socket limit motion;


ligaments surrounding the capsule "screw" the femur head into the acetabulum while standing;


Muscle tendons and bulky hip and thigh muscles stabilize and add strength
