Document Summary

Joints of the knee: tibiofemoral, tibio bular, patellofemoral. Deepen the articulation and ll the gaps that occur during knee exion. Aid in lubrication and nutrition of the joint. Prevent the joint capsule from entering the joint during locking mechanism by direction femoral condyles. Meniscal ligaments (not enough movement to stretch fibers of the mcl/ !2 know the primary restraint of the 1st 4. Pathologies: contusions, bursitis, ligamentous injuries (acl, pcl, lcl, mcl, knee dislocation, meniscal injuries, patellofemoral stress syndrome, chondromalacia patellae, patellar instability and dislocation, patellar tendinitis, extensor tendon rupture. Contusions: contusions = bruise s/s: bruising, swelling, pain with movement and palpation. Peroneal nerve distribution orange is the tibial nerve blue os the perennial nerve. Bursitis: the bursa is a uid- lled sac that reduces friction between muscles/tendons and bones, knee bursae: Overuse (runners, swimmers, cyclists) > tight hamstring) or direct trauma. Tight hamstring signs of in ammation swelling (prepattelar +++) pain over the bursa s/s. and tx: treatment.
