Gerdy's tubercle, medial condyle, lateral condyle, medial plateau, lateral plateau, and the intercondylar eminence are all boney landmarks on what?
Tibia
The medial and lateral condyles, medial and lateral epicondyles, lesser trochanter, greater trochanter, neck, head, intertrochanteric line, and linea aspera are found on what?
Femur
What provides posterior stability, prevents the tibia from translating posteriorly, and rotary stability?
PCL
- primary stabilizing ligament of the knee
- provides anterior stability
- prevents the tibia from translating anteriorly
- rotary stability
ACL
- provides lateral stability to the tibiofemoral joint
- prevents varus stress (ADD)
LCL
- provides medial stability to the tibiofemoral joint
- prevents valgus stress (ABD)
medial or tibial collateral ligament (MCL)
- specialized cartilage
- deepens the tibiofemoral joint
- on medial aspect
medial meniscus or medial semilunar cartilage
tibiofemoral joint is classified as
Ginglymus
Actions of the tibiofemoral joint
flexion
extension
internal rotation
external rotation
Patellofemoral joint classification
Arthrodial
Where are these located?
- iliac crest
- ischial tuberosity
- anterior superior iliac spine
- anterior inferior iliac spine
- pubic crest
Pelvis
All quadriceps muscles perform knee extension; only one is a hip flexor as well. This means when the hip is flexed, this muscle is less effective as a knee extensor.
What is this muscle?
Rectus Femoris
All four of the quadriceps muscles perform extension of the knee, what muscle is much more active in the last 15 degrees of extension and contributes heavily to the tracking of the patella?
Vatus Medialis Oblique
All three of the hamstring muscles perform knee flexion and hip extension; what muscles also assist in internal rotation of the tibia?
Semitendonosus
Semimembranosus
