Document Summary

Bones in the foot: tarsals tiger clubs need milk milc (talus, calcaneus, navicular, medial cuneiform, intermediate cuneiform, lateral cuneiform ) Knee joint: the knee joint is primarily a hinge joint allowing for flexion and extension, however the hinge movements are combined with gliding and rolling and with rotation about a vertical axis. Although the knee is well constructed is function is commonly impaired when its hyperextended (in body contact sports, such as hockey). Articular surfaces of the knee: are characterized by their large size and incongruent shapes. 2 - femorotibial articulations (lateral and medial) between the lateral and medial femoral and tibial condyles. 1 - femoropatellar articulation between the patella and the femur. The fibula is not involved in the knee joint. The stability of the knee joint depends on. The strength and actions of surrounding muscles and their tendons.
