Question 1

What are the keys points about the Femoral condyles, menisci and tibial condyles?

Answer 1

all asymmetric and larger on the medial side.

Question 2

What are key points about rolling and gliding?

Answer 2

occur between femur and tibia to allow full flexion and extension

Question 3

What occurs in the last third of extension?

Answer 3

Lateral tibial rotation (free foot) or medial femoral rotation (fixed foot)

Question 4

What occurs in the first third of flexion from full extension?

Answer 4

Medial tibial rotation or lateral femoral rotation

Question 5

When does most rotation occurs in any case?

Answer 5

last 5% of the range of motion (ROM) near full extension.

Question 6

What are other points?

Answer 6

• Where the do the collateral ligaments attach relative to the joint?
• How do the attachments of the menisci differ, and what are the functional and clinical implications?
• How do the various thigh muscles transmit force to the bones of the leg, and what motions do they produce?
