|
Lateral malleolus is _____ inch posterior and _____ inch distal to the medial malleolus
|
1/2 & 1/2
|
|
|
What is the second largest bone in the body?
|
Tibia
|
|
|
Is the Tibia located on the medial or lateral side?
* Just remember the state florida for this (FL) the fibula is lateral so the tibia has to be medial. |
Medial Side
|
|
|
Is the Fibula on the lateral or medial side?
|
Lateral ( and slightly posterior)
Just remember the state florida for this (FL) the fibula is lateral so the tibia has to be medial. |
|
|
Which bone is the lateral malleolus located on?
|
The fibula
* Think the state of Florida FL, the LATERAL malleolus is located on the fibula. |
|
|
How many bones make up the ankle joint? Name the bones.
|
Three
tibia, fibula, talus |
|
|
Can you see the entire three part joint space of the ankle mortise from a true frontal view (AP projection)
|
No
to see this joint perform the mortise position, which requires a 15 degree internal rotation |
|
|
Which bone is the expanded PROCESS called the anterior tubercle located on? Where on the bone is it located?
|
The tibia
Distal anterior and lateral tibia |
|
|
What does Plafond mean in french
|
Ceiling
(Tibial plafond is the roof of the ankle joint) |
|
|
What is the roof of the ankle mortise called?
|
tibial plafond
|
|
|
True/False
When positioning a lateral ankle, rotate the ankle slightly so that the medial and lateral malleoli are directly superimposed. |
False
because the distal fibula is located about 1 cm or nearly 1/2 inch posterior to the distal tibia it will not be a true lateral. |
|
|
When looking at the ankle joint laterally, is the tibia or fibula more posterior?
|
The fibula is about 1/2 inch posterior to the tibia
|
|
|
Which ankle malleolus is more Distal??
|
The lateral Malleolus
|
|
|
A line drawn through the mid portions of the two malleoli will be approximately _______ to ______ from the coronal plane.
|
15 to 20 degrees
|
|

B. Calcaneus C. Cuboid D. Tuberosity E. Navicular F. Talus G. Sinus Tarsi H. Anterior Tubercle I. Tibia |
|
|
True of False
The medial malleolus is approximately 1/2 inch 1 cm posterior to the lateral malleolus |
False
The lateral malleolus is located 1cm or nearly 1/2 inch posterior in relation to the distal tibia |
|
|
Which bone is the weight bearing bone of the lower leg?
|

|
What is the name of the large prominence located on the mid anterior surface of the proximal tibia that serves as a distal attachment for the patellar tendon
|
tibial tuberosity
|
|
|
Name the small prominence located on the posteriolateral aspect of the medial condyle of the femur that is an identifying landmark to determine possible rotation of a lateral knee.
|
adductor tubercle
|
|
|
A small triangular depression located on the tibia that helps form the distal tibiofibular joint is called what?
|
fibular notch
|
|
