Document Summary

At the elbow we have 3 bones articulating: ulna, radius, and humerus. There"s only 2 bones articulating at the knee: femur and the tibia (primary shin bone) Patella is a sesamoid bone (imbedded in a tendon) protects the knee, provides leverage, knot involved in knee joint. Fibula articulates with tibia (not the knee joint) We can pronate and supinate our hand, can"t do the same thing with the foot. Evert and invert your foot but not supination pronation because the fibula doesn"t does. When you place the sole of your foot laterally that"s eversion. When you place the sole of your foot medially its inversion (the way we usually inju. Can"t turn off the ability of the fibula to bare the weight (lateral side) sn"t rotate over like the radius injure the ankle) Can"t turn off the ability of the fibula to bare the weight (lateral side) Tibial tuberosity is the bump (like we usually see just below the head)
