- what are the bones of the knee, leg and foot?
- femur, patella, fibula, tibia, calcaneus, talus, cuboid, navicular, cuniforms, metatarsals, phalanges
- what are the joints of the lower leg?
- proximal tibiofibular joint, tibiofemoral joint (medial side), distal tibiofibular joint (lateral side), tarso crural-----FOOT: transverse tarsal joint; tarsometartarsal joints superior, intermetatarsal joints (superior/between, interior), metatarsalphalangeal joints(superior/between, interior)
- what are the bony landmarks of the knee and leg - anterior
-
lateral condyle + medial condyle
head of fibula, peranserinus attachment site; tibial tuberosity; shaft of the fibula, shaft of the tibia; lateral malleolus and medial malleolus - what are the bony landmarks of the knee and leg - posterior
- lateral condyle, head of fibula, groove for the insertion of the semimembranous tendon; soleal line; groove for the tibialis posterior and flexor digitorum longus tendons
- what are the bony landmarks of the patella
-
anterior: base and the apex (like a heart)
posterior: medial facet, lateral facet, apex - on the knee, there is lateral and medial epicondyle. what landmark is above the medial epicondyle - relating to the adductor
- adductor tubercle. this tender spot is the site for the adductor magnus tendon. usually a tender spot.
- looking at the tibiofemoral joint, what are the landmarks
- lateral epicondyle, lateral condyle, tibial plateau, tibial tubercle ,tibial tuberosity
- review the knee
- patellar ligament and the bursa attaches to tibial tuberosity--> yes. the 'end of the quadricep" patellar ligament
- at the head of the fibula, careful of what nerve
- common peroneal nerve (ie turned out supported on practicioners leg etc)
- tibial tubercle is the attachment site for what polyarticular muscle:
- ITB - iliotibial tract
- pes anserinus attachment
- three tendons of the thigh: sartorius, gracillis and semintendonisus converge to form the larger pes anserinus tendon. this is the flat area medIal to the tibial tuberosity
- identify the medial and lateral views of the foot
-
ie Lateral: peroneal trochlea, calcaneus, talus, navicular, lateral and midle cuneforms, metarsals - base, shaft, head; metarsophanangeal joints, interphalangeal joints; arch: cuboid, tuberosity of the 5th metatarsal; talometarsal joints
MEDIAL: phalanges - head, shaft, base, base fo the first metarsal; navicular tubercle, head of the talus, trochlea of the talus, talus, medial tubercle of the talaus, calcaneus, tuberosity of the calcaneus - identify the talus
- lateral tubercle, trochlea, neck, head, tarsal sinus, lateral process
