for attachment of the ligament to head of femur with branch of obturator a.(important in children for supplying blood to growth plate.

Front 5

fibrous capsule

Back 5

attaches from around the neck of femur, to around rim of the acetbulum
-thickened as ligaments

Front 6

iliofemoral

Back 6

y shaped ligament from anterio inferior iliac spine to the intertrochanteric line

Front 7

ischiofemoral

Back 7

from ishical regio of rim superolaterally to the greater trochanter. Helps limit extension

Front 8

Pubofemoral

Back 8

From pubic bone of rim laterally toward the leser trochanter

Front 9

Synovil capsule

Back 9

lines the fibrous capsule with bursa projections outside

Front 10

Tibial condyles

Back 10

L-more rounded
m-more oval

Front 11

Femoral condyles

Back 11

L-rounded for hinge and pivot movements

M-rounded posteriorly and flattedned for hinge and sliding movements respectively, to allow for locking and unlocking as well as flexion and extension.

Front 12

fibrocartilaginous menisci

Back 12

deepen joint space,
held down by the coronary ligaments
lateral meniscus-thicker looser
medial-attached to the tibial collateral ligament

Front 13

Cruciate ligaments

acl

Back 13

anterior crucite ligament-attache son the anterio aspect of tibia between its condyles and extends superiorly, posteriorly, and laterally to attach tot he medial surface of the lateral condyle of the femur

Front 14

pcl

Back 14

arises from the posterio intercondylar area of the tibia and extends superiorly, anteriorly and medially to attach to the lateral surface of the medial condyle of the femur.

Front 15

function

acl

Back 15

acl- prevents anterior displacement and limits extension of the tibia. Anterior drawer sign is present when the anterior cruciate is torn due to anterior displacement of the tibia or excess extension.

Front 16

pcl

Back 16

prevents posterior displacement of the tibia and limits flexion of the tibia. Posterior Drawer sign is present when the posterior crucite ligment is torn due usually to posterio displacement of the tibai.

Front 17

collateral ligaments

Back 17

are thickenings of the fibrous capsule called extrensic ligaments

Front 18

fibular collateral ligament

Back 18

this lateral ligament attaches from the lateral epicondyle of the femur to the head of the fibula, passing through a split in the tendons of the biceps femoris.

Front 19

tendon of the popliteus

Back 19

seperates the fibular collateral ligament from the lateral meniscus

Front 20

tibial medial collateral ligament

Back 20

medial epicondyle of femur to medial condyle of the tibia. A thickening of the fibrous capsule which is FIRMLY attached to the medial meniscus

Front 21

Drawer sign

Back 21

displacement anterio or posterior

Front 22

function of the collateral ligs

Back 22

loosen during flexino at the knee, permits some rotation, during. Tighten during ext.

Front 23
