|
|
Term
| Six major ligaments of the knee joint |
|
Definition
| two collateral ligaments, two cruciate ligaments and two popliteal ligaments |
|
|
Term
| two collateral ligaments: anterior and posterior |
|
Definition
| medial and lateral sides of the knee, running from the respective epicondyles of the femur down to the tibia on the medial side to the head of the fibula on the lateral side. provide lateral stability for the knee joint |
|
|
Term
| two popliteal ligaments: arcuate and oblique |
|
Definition
| run from posterior of femur to posterior of tibia. restrict hyperextension |
|
|
Term
| medial and lateral meniscus |
|
Definition

|
|
Term
|
Definition
| when the medial condyle is is taller than the lateral condyle. can't stand in parallel without either overlapping the knees or pressing the knees to a hyperextended position. Be careful to avoid pronated feet |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| When the lateral condyle of the femur is taller than the medial condyle. Tendancy to transfer the weight to the lateral side of the knees |
|
|
Term
| Chrondomalacia of the Patella |
|
Definition
| When the tibial tuberosity is lateral to the center of the bone. May be related to tibial torsion or knock knees. Patella rides over the lateral condyle of the femur. Causes friction and irritation of the posterior surface of the patella. Build up of bony scar tissue which results in crunching of the knee in movement |
