  1. Knee Outline

  2. Designed to • Provide Stability • Provide Mobility Knee

  3. Femur • Longest and the strongest • Patella • Sesamoid = bone within tendon, shock absorption • Tibia • Primary weight bearing bone in lower leg • Fibula • Bears no weight, attachment site for muscles • Gives stability to ankle Bones

  4. Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) • Protects from medial displacement • Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL) • Protects from lateral displacement • Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) • Most frequently ruptured, protects from anterior tibia motion • Originates on anterior tibial plateau, and on posterior femur • Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) • Protects from posterior displacement Ligaments

  5. Medial Meniscus • C shaped • Lateral Meniscus • O shaped Cartilage

  6. Anterior Thigh • Quadriceps • Knee Extensors (4) • Posterior Thigh • Hamstrings • Knee Flexors (3) Muscles

  7. Medial Thigh • Groin • Leg Adductors (3) • Lateral Thigh • Tensor Fascia Latae • Leg Abductors • Lower Leg • Gastrocnemius, soleus • Knee Flexors Muscles

  8. Quadriceps • Hamstrings • MCL • LCL • Medial & Lateral Borders of Patella • Medial & Lateral Joint Line • Patellar Tendon • TibialTuberosity • Grastrocnemius • PCL • ACL • PesAnserinus Insertion Palpations
