11/6/2012 The Knee Clarification of Terms The knee consists of: The tibiofemoral joint Patellofemoral joint Mansfield, p273 Osteology of the Knee Distal Femur Proximal tibia and fibula Patella 1 11/6/2012 Osteology of the Knee Distal femur (ADDuctor tubercle) Right Femur Osteology of the Knee The proximal tibia & fibula The medial and lateral condyles of the tibia form the shallow articulations with the distal femur Fibular Head Tibial Tuberosity The intercondylar/intercondyloid eminence the attachment point for the cruciate ligaments Interosseous Membrane Osteology of the Knee Patella 2 11/6/2012 Joint Structure Tibiofemoral Joint Articulation between the large condyles of the distal femur and the relatively flat proximal tibia Patellofemoral Joint Articulation between the patella and distal femur Mansfield, p273 Joint Structure: Alignment Genu valgum refers to a frontal deviation of the position of the knee. Commonly referred to as “knock-knee” due to the distal segments being positioned more laterally than normal Genu varum refers to a frontal deviation of the position of the knee. Commonly referred to as “bow-leg” is the opposite. Lippert, p294 & Mansfield, p278 Joint Structure: Alignment Genurecurvatum: Hyperextension of the tibiofemoral joint placing excessive stress on the structures in the popliteal space Tibial nerve Popliteal Vein Popliteal Artery Common Peroneal Nerve 3 11/6/2012 Joint Structure: Alignment Q Angle * angle between the quadriceps muscle and the patellar tendon * draw a line from the ASIS to the midpoint of the patella and from the tibial tuberosity to the midpoint of the patella * tends to be greater in females due to wider pelvis Lippert, p285 Joint Movement Tibiofemoral Joint: Osteokinematics: flexion, extension Internal and external rotation Arthrokinematics: Open chain = Closed chain = (hint: convex distal femoral condyles and concave proximal tibial plateau) Lippert, p284 & Mansfield, p284 Joint Movement Patellofemoral Joint Osteokinematics n/a Arthrokinematics The smooth posterior surface of the patella glides over the femur It glides and tilts in all 4 directions Lippert, p285 4 11/6/2012 Supporting Structures ACL & PCL (Sagittal plane stability) MCL & LCL (Frontal Plane stability) Posterior capsule Medial and lateral menisci Supporting Structures Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Keeps femur from moving posteriorly on tibia and from tibia from moving anteriorly on femur Tightens during extension, preventing hyperextension Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) Keeps femur from moving anteriorly on tibia and from tibia from moving posteriorly on femur Tightens during flexion Lippert, p288 Supporting Structures: ACL & PCL 5 11/6/2012 Supporting Structures Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) Flat broad ligament attaching the medial condyles of femur and tibia It protects the joint from stresses to the ____________ side of the knee. Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL) Round, cordlike ligament attaching from lateral femoral condyle to fibular head It protects the joint from stresses to ____________ side of the knee. Lippert, p288 Supporting Structures: MCL & LCL Supporting Structures Posterior Capsule: Prevents hyperextension of the knee Mansfield, p282 6 11/6/2012 Lippert, p288 Supporting Structures Medial and lateral menisci Two half-moon, wedge-shaped fibrocartilage disks Located on the superior surface of the tibia Designed to absorb shock Thicker laterally than medially Proximal surfaces are concave, deepening the relatively flat joint surface of the tibia Knee Structure Popliteal Space Area behind the knee containing important nerves (tibial and common peroneal) and blood vessels (popliteal artery and vein) Diamond shaped fossa Bound superiorly by semitendinosus and semimembranosus on the medial side and biceps femoris on lateral side.
