AND ANSWERS WITH VERIFIED SOLUTIONS 100%
GUARANTEED PASS
clinical anatomy: femur
- linea aspera
- medial/lateral epicondyles
- medial/lateral condyles
- intracondylar notch/fossa
- femoral trochlea (patellar groove)
- adductor tubercle
clinical anatomy: tibia
- medial/lateral plateaus
- tibial tuberosity
- patella
- tibiofibular syndesmosis
clinical anatomy: articulation and ligamentous support
- joint capsule (synovial capsule)
- medial collateral ligaments (deep/superficial layer)
- lateral collateral ligaments
,- anterior cruciate ligament
- posterior cruciate ligament
- popliteofibular corner
- popliteus complex
- arcuate ligament
- fabella
clinical anatomy: the menisci
- vascular zone
- avascular zone
- pink zone
- medial/lateral meniscus
primary functions of the menisci
- deepen the joint
- lubricate the joint
- provide shock absorption
Screw Home Mechanism
- causes locking mechanism as knee goes into full extension
- as knee extends to terminal range (in OKC): roll, spin, glide
- to initiate flexion (unscrew), tibia IR must occur
clinical anatomy: anterior muscles
- vastus lateralis
- vastus intermedius
- vastus medialis
, - rectus femoris
- femoral nerve innervation
clinical anatomy: posterior muscles
- semitendinosus
- semimembranosus
- biceps femoris
- popliteus
- gastrocnemius
- tibial nerve innervation
clinical anatomy: other muscles acting on knee
- gracilis
- sartorius
- iliotibial band
clinical anatomy: neurological anatomy
- femoral nerve: L2, L3, L4
- sciatic nerve: L4, L5, S1, S2
How does the sciatic nerve divide?
Divides into tibial nerve (medially) and common peroneal nerve (laterally) at popliteal
fossa
clinical anatomy: vascular anatomy
- popliteal artery
- anterior tibial artery
- lateral femoral circumflex
