1
New cards

knee joint

modified hinge

2
New cards

normal angle of knee

180-185* angled medially

3
New cards

genu valgum

>185* (knock knees)

increased tensile stress on MCL

increased compressive stress on lateral compartment

excessive lateral tracking of patella

4
New cards

genu varum

<175* (bow legs)

increased medial compartment compressive loading

greater loss of medial joint space

increased tensile strain on LCL

5
New cards

genu recurvatum

secondary to laxity of posterior knee structures

overpowering knee extension torque

6
New cards

medial meniscus

less mobility

connections to medial joint capsule, MCL, ACL, PCL, semimembranosus

7
New cards

lateral meniscus

connections to ACL, PCL, popliteus

8
New cards

Q angle

10-15 *

ASIS → mid patella → tibial tuberosity
