Cards

Term
Menisci
Definition

Two semilunar fibbrocartilages

deepen the superior articular surfaces of the tibia for greater articulation with the femoral condyles

[image]

 

Term
Medial (tibial) Collateral of Knee
Definition

Medial epicondyle of femus to the medial lateral side of the head of the fibula.

medial meniscus

can lead to dual injury of both mcl and meniscus

[image]

Term
Lateral (fibular) Collateral of Knee
Definition

lateral epicondyle of femus to the lateral side of the head of the fibula

prevents adduction of leg to femur

blunt trauma more common

[image]

Term
Antrerior Cruciate
Definition

extends posteriorly and laterally from tibia to lateral condyle

prevents anterior displacement of tibia-femur / rotary stability

[image]

Term
Posterior Cruciate
Definition

extends anteriorly and medially from intercondylar eminence to medial condyle

prevents posterior displacement of tibia-femur

[image]

Term
Transverse Genicular
Definition

connects lateral meniscus to the medial meniscus

[image]

Term
Ligamentous capsule
Definition

tube of fibrous tissue joining the femur to the tibia to the tibia

[image]

Term
Interosseus Membrane
Definition

lateral border to the tibia to the medial border of the fibular

[image]

Term
Deltoid
Definition

blunt end of the tibial malleolus; medial collateral

tibionavicular, tibiocalcaneal, anterior tibiotalar, posterior tibiotalar

[image]

tiobicalcaneal
Definition

(deltoid)

malleolus to the sustentaculum tali of calcaneus

[image]

Term
anterior tibiotalar
Definition

(deltoid)

malleolus to the adjacent talus anteriorly

[image]

Term
posterior tibiotalar
Definition

deltoid

malleolus to adjacent talus bone posteriorly

[image]

Term
Lateral Collateral ligaments of the ankle joint
Definition

anterior talo fibular, posterior talofibular, calcaneofibular

 

Term
anterior talofibular
Definition

lateral collateral ligament

horizontally from the talus to the anterior distal lateral malleolus

[image]

Term
posterior talofibular
Definition

lateral collateral ligament

horizontally from the talus to the posterior distal lateral malleolus

 [image]

Term
calcaneofibular
Definition

lateral collateral ligament

vertically from the distal lateral surface of the lateral malleolus to the lateral surface of the calcaneus

[image]

Term
anterior tibiofibular
Definition

tibia to the lateral malleolus

[image]

Term
posterior tibiofibular
Definition

tibia to the posterior suface of lateral malleolus

[image]

 

Term
plantar calcaneonavicular
Definition

navicular bone to the calcaneus

supports talus and medial longitudinal arch

[image]

Term
long plantar ligament
Definition

calcaneus to the cuboid and lateral metatarsals II-V

maintains the lateral longitudinal arch of the foot

[image]

Term
plantar fascia
Definition

medial and lateral tubercles of the calcaneus and to skin

maintains longitudinal arch

[image]

Term
medial longitudinal arch
Definition

exists in the sagittal plane along the line of Metatarsal I

[image]

Term
lateral longitudinal arch
Definition

along the line of the IV and V metatarsals

[image]

Term
transverse arch
Definition

frontal plane along the distal tarsal and metatarsal bones (midfoot)

[image]

Term
arch along with the musculotendinous and ligamental structures function to...
Definition
distribute weight/forces throughout the entire foot and to provide an efficient spring-like action
Term
foot problems
Definition

muscle weakness and/or overuse could lead to clinical foot problems, resulting from the breakdown of this complex arch formation.

 

 

Term
plantar fascitis
Definition
inflammation of the plantar fascia
Term
pes planus (flatfoot)
Definition

too low a longitudinal arch, especially medially

[image]

Term
pes cavus
Definition

too high a longitudinal arch, especially medially

[image]

Term
clawfoot
Definition

ficed contracture leading to hyperextension of the metacarpophalangeal joint and flexion of the interphalangeal joint

[image]

Term
