Anatomy, Joint Orientation and Arthrokinematics
Knee
![Page 2: Anatomy, Joint Orientation and Arthrokinematics Knee](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697c0021a28abf838cc3693/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Tibiofemoral Joint
• Femur run in a medial and inferior oblique direction
• Sits on a vertical tibia
![Page 3: Anatomy, Joint Orientation and Arthrokinematics Knee](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697c0021a28abf838cc3693/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Tibiofemoral Joint
• Femoral condyles are convex
• Articular surface of medial femoral and tibial condyle larger
• Poor congruency between the articulating surfaces
![Page 4: Anatomy, Joint Orientation and Arthrokinematics Knee](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697c0021a28abf838cc3693/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Menisci
• Fibro cartilaginous disks• Thicker peripherally • Good blood supply
outer 1/3• Rest Avascular
![Page 5: Anatomy, Joint Orientation and Arthrokinematics Knee](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697c0021a28abf838cc3693/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Menisci
• Roles within the knee– Increase congruency– Distribute weight
bearing across the knee– Act as shock absorbers– Aid lubrication reducing
friction – Add nutrition to articular
cartilage – Aid the locking
mechanism of the knee
![Page 6: Anatomy, Joint Orientation and Arthrokinematics Knee](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697c0021a28abf838cc3693/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Medial Menisci
• Larger than lateral• C Shaped• Larger posteriorly• Anchored to medial
capsule and MCL• Anterior horn connects
with transverse ligament• Lots of ligamentous and
capsular restraints• Limits mobility increasing
injury risk
![Page 7: Anatomy, Joint Orientation and Arthrokinematics Knee](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697c0021a28abf838cc3693/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Lateral Menisci
• More Circular• More Mobile• Medial and lateral
meniscus move posteriorly with flexion
• Medial and lateral meniscus move anteriorly with extension
• If a tear occurs, normal movement is lost, causing locking
![Page 8: Anatomy, Joint Orientation and Arthrokinematics Knee](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697c0021a28abf838cc3693/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Ligaments
• Coronary Ligament– Part of the joint capsule– Connect meniscu to
tibial plateau– Often injured in twisting
injuries
![Page 9: Anatomy, Joint Orientation and Arthrokinematics Knee](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697c0021a28abf838cc3693/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Ligaments
• Transverse Ligament– Connects the anterior
horns of the medial and lateral menisci together
![Page 10: Anatomy, Joint Orientation and Arthrokinematics Knee](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697c0021a28abf838cc3693/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Medial Collateral Ligament
• Strong flat ligament• Merges with adductor
magnus fibres• Deep portion attaches to
medial meniscus• Deep portion capsular
thickening• Seperated by pes anserinus
tendons by bursa• Resists valgus force to the
knee and external rotation of the tibia

Lateral Collateral Ligament
• Cord like ligament• Extracapsular• More flexible than MCL• Resists varus stress• Resists tibial external
rotation
![Page 13: Anatomy, Joint Orientation and Arthrokinematics Knee](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697c0021a28abf838cc3693/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Patellofemoral Joint Arthrokinematics
• Articulation– Inferior margin of patella articulates with the
femur at approx 10-20° of knee flexion– As knee flexion increases the contact area of the
patella moves proximally– As knee flexion increase the contact area of the
condyles moves posteriorly– Patella does not articular with trochlea of femur
near terminal extension

Patellofemoral Articulations
![Page 30: Anatomy, Joint Orientation and Arthrokinematics Knee](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697c0021a28abf838cc3693/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Patellofemoral Contact Area
• The contact surface of the patellofemoral joint INCREASES with flexion
• @ 30° knee flexion the contact area = 2.0cm²
• @ 90 ° knee flexion the contact area = 6.0cm²
• The larger the contact surface area the more a load can be distributed over a greater area
• E.g which is more painful, a women standing on you in stilettoes or walking boots?
