Joints: Knee, Hip

Question 1

What is the anatomical name for this joint? Which view is it?

Answer 1

Patellofemoral Joint (knee joint)

Anterior view

Question 2

What is the tibiofemoral joint of the knee an articulation of?

What type of joint is it?

Answer 2

It’s an articulation of lateral and medial condyles of the femur bone + the tibial plateaus of the tibia.

*planteau is covered with hyaline cartilage

Classification: synovial/bi-condylar

Question 3

Name this joint. What is it an articulation of?

Classification?

Answer 3

Tibiofibular Joint (s) = Proximal and distal joints between Tibia and Fibula bones

Classification:
proximal = plane synovial
distal = fibrous = syndemosis (no active movement, small glide)

Interroseous Membrane connects the two

Question 4

Answer 4

Patellar Ligament

resists knee flexion
inserts on tibial tuberosity, inferior to patella

Question 5

Answer 5

Tibial Collateral (Medial)
-from medial epicondyle to tibial shaft
prevents ABduction of the Tibia

Question 6

Answer 6

Fibular Collateral (Lateral)
- from lateral epicondyle to fibula head
prevents ADDuction of Fibula

Question 7

Answer 7

Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL)

prevents anterior displacement of tibia (in relation to Femur) & hyperextension of knee

-from anterior aspect of tibia to medial surface of lateral humerus condyle

Question 8

Answer 8

Posterior Cruciate Ligament

prevents posterior displacement of tibia (relative to humerus)

-from posterior tibia surface to lateral surface of medial femur condyle

Question 9

Answer 9

Medial Menisci

C-shaped

Question 10

Answer 10

Lateral Menisci

O-shaped

Question 11

What is the anatomical name for the ankle joint?
What articulates?
Joint classification?

Answer 11

Talocrural Joint = tibia medial malleolus + fibula lateral malleolus + talus trochlea

Classification: Synovial/hinge

Question 12

FILL IN

Answer 12

Tarsometatarsal
(synovial/plane)

Metatarsophalangeal
(synovial/ellipsoidal)

Interphalangeal
(synovial/hinge)

Question 12

Name this joint and its classification

Answer 12

Subtalar Joint

Classification: Synovial/plane

Answer 13

Trochanteric Bursa
