01. The three compartments that comprise the knee joint are called:
02. In which plane do the radii of the medial and lateral condyles differ?
03. Which projections on the femur give attachment to the collateral ligaments?
04. Anteriorly the condyles are separated by the:
05. How do the medial and lateral articulating surfaces of the tibia differ?
?06. When viewed laterally, the tibial plateau is angled:
07. What is the range of this angulation from individual to individual?
(viewed laterally, the tibial plateau)
08. The patella is wider from medial to lateral:
09. The menisci are roughly
10. Up to what percentage of the loads in the knee are borne by the menisci?
11. The lateral meniscus is less mobile than the medial meniscus
12. The medial meniscus is larger than the lateral meniscus
13. The four major ligaments which stabilise the knee joint are:
14. The ACL prevents posterior subluxation of the tibia
15. The knee is more mobile in flexion
17. The femoral mechanical axis is an imaginary line drawn from:
18. The femoral anatomic axis is an imaginary line drawn from:
19. The tibial mechanical axis is an imaginary line drawn from:
20. The tibial anatomic axis is an imaginary line drawn from:
21. The acronym used to describe the mechanical axis of the lower limb is:
22. In a correctly aligned limb the tibial and femoral mechanical aces should form:
23. The HKA axis forms an angle to the mid-line of:
24. The terms varus and valgus are used in the knee to describe angles and movements?
25. Which muscles are responsible for knee extension?
26. The patella tracks in a v-shaped groove called the
27. The angle between a line drawn from the centre of the patella to the anterior superior iliac spine and a line which crosses the centre of the patella and the centre of the tibial tubercle is called the:
28. The are two forces which need to be considered when designing a knee prosthesis are:
29. The four phases of the gait cycle are:
30. The angle of active flexion of the knee is dependent on the angle of hip flexion
31. At 90° of flexion the knee is capable of how many degrees lateral rotation?
32. At 90° of flexion the knee is capable of how many degrees medial rotation?
