80mast.htm 80-3), the lateral collateral ligament tightens and the lateral femoral condyle moves cranially on the tibial plateau, causing an external (lateral) rotation of the tibia on the femur. The menisci are biconcave, C-shaped disks of fibrocartilage interposed between the condyles of the femur and tibia. (e) After the graft material is passed through the joint and "over-the-top" of the lateral condyle, it is attached to the soft tissues of the condyle with interrupted sutures of 3-0 stainless steel. cal.vet.upenn.edu /saortho/chapter_80/80mast.htm

III. Syndesmology. 7b. The Knee-joint. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body. The lateral condyle of the femur is brought almost to rest by the tightening of the anterior cruciate ligament; it moves, however, slightly forward and medialward, pushing before it the anterior part of the lateral meniscus. Behind the capsule consists of vertical fibers which arise from the condyles and from the sides of the intercondyloid fossa of the femur; the posterior part of the capsule is therefore situated on the sides of and in front of the cruciate ligaments, which are thus excluded from the joint cavity. Into the groove on the medial condyle is fitted the anterior part of the medial meniscus, while the anterior cruciate ligament and the articular margin in front of the medial process of the tibial intercondyloid eminence are received into the forepart of the intercondyloid fossa of the femur. www.bartleby.com /107/93.html

II. Osteology. 6c. 3. The Femur. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body. The other two borders of the femur are only slightly marked: the lateral border extends from the antero-inferior angle of the greater trochanter to the anterior extremity of the lateral condyle; the medial border from the intertrochanteric line, at a point opposite the lesser trochanter, to the anterior extremity of the medial condyle. When, however, the femur is in its natural oblique position the lower surfaces of the two condyles lie practically in the same horizontal plane. The trabeculæ of the upper femur, as shown in frontal sections, are arranged in two general systems, compressive and tensile, which correspond in position with the lines of maximum and minimum stresses in the femur determined by the mathematical analysis of the femur as a mechanical structure. www.bartleby.com /107/59.html   (5194 words)

hip.html It is due to a slipping over the greater trochanter, of the iliotibial band (an extension of the fascia lata between the iliac crest, sacrum and ischium, stretching over the greater trochanter, to the lateral femoral condyle, tibial condyle and fibular head. The head of femur is connected with the hip bone by the ligament of head of femur which connects the pit on the head and the margins of the acetabular notch.

Anatomate Popliteus originates from within the knee joint capsule on a depression at the anterior end of a groove on the lateral aspect of the lateral condyle of the femur. Popliteus may also assist the posterior cruciate ligament in preventing anterior dislocation of the femur during crouching.

II. Osteology. 6c. 3. The Femur. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body.

The Greater Trochanter (trochanter major; great trochanter) is a large, irregular, quadrilateral eminence, situated at the junction of the neck with the upper part of the body. Although the action of the muscles exerts an appreciable effect on the stresses in the femur, it is relatively small and very complex to analyze and has not been considered in the above analysis. www.bartleby.com /107/59.html   (5194 words)

Monograph 26 ~ Knee and Leg Trauma The typical physical features of an internally rotated tibia are lateral capsular pain and tenderness, genu varum, a prominent lateral tibial condyle and plateau, tightness of the iliotibial band and lateral hamstring tendons, chondromalacia patellae, and restricted external tibial rotation. In external tibial rotation and/or genu varus, however, the Q-angle can be markedly increased; ie, the angle increases as the tibial tubercle is displaced laterally or when the distal femur and proximal tibia are angled toward the midline. The physical features of an externally rotated tibia are medial capsular pain and tenderness, genu valgum, a prominent medial tibial condyle and plateau, tightness of the pes anserine tendons, chondromalacia patellae, and restricted internal tibial rotation. www.chiro.org /rc_schafer/mono-26.shtml   (8508 words)

eMedicine - Iliotibial Band Syndrome : Article by John M Martinez, MD The ITB has insertions on the lateral tibial condyle (ie, the Gerdy tubercle) and the distal portion of the femur. Background: Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) is the result of inflammation and irritation of the distal portion of the iliotibial tendon as it rubs against the lateral femoral condyle, or less commonly, the greater tuberosity. Pathophysiology: The ITB is a dense fibrous band of tissue that originates from the anterior superior iliac spine region and extends down the lateral portion of the thigh to the knee. www.emedicine.com /pmr/topic61.htm   (8508 words)

The muscle origin is the ischial and pubic rami and ischial tuberosity, and insertion is the linea aspera and adductor tubercle of femur. The muscle origin embraces insertion of the trapezius, lateral third of clavicle, acromion and spine of scapula, and insertion is the deltoid tuberosity of the humerus. www.life.sci.qut.edu.au /LSB131/2003summer/Bridgetlist1.doc   (4603 words)

80mast.htm The caudal horn of the lateral meniscus is also attached to the lateral aspect of the medial femoral condyle by means of the femoral ligament of the lateral meniscus. The caudal cruciate ligament functions to prevent caudal displacement of the tibia on the femur and, in conjunction with cranial cruciate ligament, limits excessive internal rotation of the tibia on the femur. The caudal cruciate ligament passes caudodistally to the medial aspect of the popliteal notch of the tibia( Fig. cal.vet.upenn.edu /saortho/chapter_80/80mast.htm   (4603 words)

eMedicine - Lateral Compartment Arthritis : Article by B Sonny Bal, MD Etiology: Usually, a genu valgum deformity is the result of a dysplastic lateral femoral condyle that contributes to pathologic loading of the lateral compartment of the knee and subsequent bone and cartilage destruction (Washington, 1995). Lateral compartment arthrosis is encountered less frequently than genu varum deformity because the medial joint compartment of the knee is affected most commonly by degenerative changes, followed by the patellofemoral and lateral compartments (Johnson, 1981). In such cases, genu valgum is the result of a valgus orientation of the distal part of the femur relative to its long axis (Cooke, 1994; Poilvache, 1996; Yoshioka, 1987). www.emedicine.com /orthoped/topic509.htm   (1004 words)

BOW-LEG - LoveToKnow Article on BOW-LEG Normally in the erect posture the weight of the body is passed through the outer condyle of the femur rather than the inner, and this latter is lengthened to keep the plane of the knee-joint horizontal. Flat-foot (see CLUB-FOOT) and lateral curvature of the spine, scoliosis, are often associated with this form of Genu Valgum, the former being due to relaxation of ligaments, the latter being compensatory where the deformity only affects one leg, though often found merely in association with the more common bilateral variety.
