How many bones comprise the knee joint? - ANS-4
if you are standing and take your index finger and slide it down your thigh until it
contacts the patella, the portion of the patella that you first contact is the - ANS-base
how many articulations exist within the knee joint excluding the fibula? - ANS-3
the knee joint is - ANS-a modified hinge joint
the knee joint is a modified hinge joint that is also a _____ joint - ANS-synovial
synovial pouches are also known as - ANS-bursae
the ligaments of the knee can be divided into two groups -
ANS-extracapsular/intraarticular (intracapsular)
the patella ligament is (Intra/extra?) - ANS-extracapsular
the ACL is (intra/extra) - ANS-intraarticular
LCL is (intra/extra)? - ANS-extracapsular
T/F: the primary function of the quads is to flex the knee - ANS-false
T/F: the primary function of the hams is to flex the knee? - ANS-True
T/F: the hamstrings originate on the ischium and are posterior to the knee joint? -
ANS-true
T/F: the hamstrings extend the thigh? - ANS-true
The hamstrings muscles include - ANS-biceps femoris, semitendinosus and
semimembranosous
a commonly used musculoskeletal prefix which means cartilage is - ANS-chondro
,a commonly used musculoskeltal prefix which means decreased is - ANS-hypo
a commonly used muscskeletal prefix for determining which means behind is -
ANS-retro
a commonly used muscoloskeletal prefix for determining direction which means within -
ANS-intra
a commonly used prefix for determining direction which means upon or on top is -
ANS-epi
if a surgeon commented that a particular femoral condyle was hypertrophic, the condyle
has - ANS-increaed in size
ipsilateral meaning - ANS-same side
another term used to describe internal rotation - ANS-medial rotation
if a patient presented with a proximal femoral neck fracture in the hip that was less than
120 degrees, the clincal description of the neck angle would be - ANS-coxa-vera
A surgeon is performing a total knee procedure. When the knee is flexed, he inserts a
long IM rod down the tibial shaft to set up a proximal tibial cutting guide tower. In the
flexed knee, the point of reference that describes the position of the tip of the far end of
the rod down the tibial shaft in relation to the cutting block tower that is placed on the
rod over the tibial eminence is: - ANS-distal
the thigh is what region of the body - ANS-the region from the hip to the knee
the leg is what region of the body - ANS-the region from the knee to the ankle
the appendicular skeleton is comprised of: - ANS-pectoral girdles, the upper limbs,
pelvic girdle, lower limbs
a long bone is - ANS-cylindrical in shape being longer than it is wide
When we discuss bone changes in form and function due to mechanical stresses and
the force of muscular tension placed on it, we are discussing: - ANS-Wolffs Law
, the flexible connective tissue found on joint surfaces which allows joint surfaces to slide
against one another is called - ANS-cartilage
Acl origin and insertion - ANS-originates on the lateral femoral condyle and inserts on
the anterior surface of the tibial platue (AL)
T/F: the point of origin of a muscle is a location where a muscle can move - ANS-False
the arcs of flexion in the knee are - ANS-screw home, functional and deep flexion
the mechanical axis of the lower extremity is determined by drawing a straight line from:
- ANS-the center of the femoral head to the center of the ankle joint
T/F: the anatomic axes in the lower extremity are represented by two mutually exclusive
lines - ANS-true
When we refer to the the "functional axes" of the knee, we reference the combination of
rotations around what two axes? - ANS-The TEA of the femur and the longitudinal axis
of the tibia
The flexion-extension axis closely correspond the the insertion points of what two
ligamentous soft tissue structures in the knee joint? - ANS-MCL and LCL
The "anatomical" or clinical axis the the knee is an imaginary line that connects -
ANS-the most prominent points of the medial and lateral epicondyles
the "surgical" epicondylar axis is and imaginary line that connects - ANS-the medial
epicondylar sulcus with the prominence of the lateral epicondyle
Which distal femoral condyle in the knee joint has a sulcus? - ANS-medial
Whitesides line is - ANS-perpendicular to the surgical TEA
The posterior condylar line: - ANS-marks the outer surface boundaries of the posterior
distal femoral condyles in flexion
Whitesides line is also known as - ANS-The trochlear A/P axis
Where is Whitesides line drawn from? - ANS-a line drawn from the deepest part of the
trochlear groove posteriorly to the center of the intercondylar notch
