Document Summary
Knee joints: 2 tf joints: tibio-femoral joint, pf: patella-femoral joint. Movements of the joints: flexion: anything we do to curl into fetal position. Together they form a cross/ cruciate: cruciate ligaments job: Tuesday, september 19, 2017 condyles) and the medial side of the lateral condyle of the femur. Menisci don"t attach to fetus only tibia: neither ligament or muscle medial meniscus stretches posterior to anterior lateral meniscus is more round . Posterior and anterior horns per menisci: thoughts on menisci. Consider their shape and fabric made of bro- cartilagenous wedges with a lot of collagen and cartilage tissue (not articular cartilage) . Don"t absorb a lot of energy but there for some level of protection . Don"t have blood supply so don"t heal quickly red zone has more potential for heating as there is some blood supply in comparison to white zones. Increase joint congruency widens contact area = increases force distribution between condyles improves t between tibia and femur.
