Document Summary
3rd of september 2018: knee: femorotibial joint: Lateral femoral condyle with lateral tibial condyle (lateral medial meniscus transverse, coronary ligaments) Descending and genicular branches from femoral, popliteal, lateral circumflex femoral artery, circumflex fibular artery, recurrent branches form tibial. Branches from obturator, femoral tibial and common fibula. Some rotating during (cid:494)locking(cid:495) and unlocking(cid:495) the knee: femoropatellar joint: Patellar surface of femur with articular surface of patella. With very limited medial and lateral rotation: stability of knee joint: Medial stability: due to most of tibial collateral ligament, semitendinosus, In flexion, ligaments are more lax, some rotation occurs. Lateral stability: due to most of fibular collateral ligament, iliotibial tract, popliteus and biceps femoris. Anterior and posterior stability: enhanced by the cruciate ligaments, quadriceps tendon and ligamentum patellae: popliteal fossa: Lateral: plantaris and lateral head of gastrocnemius. Floor: capsule of the knee joint, femur, tibia, popliteus.
