What does 'negative anterior drawer' mean?
A "negative anterior drawer" test indicates that there is no significant forward movement of the tibia relative to the femur when the knee is flexed at 90 degrees. This suggests that the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is intact and functioning properly, as a positive result would indicate potential injury or laxity in the ACL. The test is commonly used in clinical assessments of knee injuries.
How does your femur help you move?
The femur is almost verticle and strong bone. It can bear the lot of weight. It is slightly convex anteriorly. That gives you added advantage in weight bearing. Convexity on anterior side, enable you to to tolerate the trauma from the front side in better way. There is an angle between the head neck portion and shaft of the femur. That shift the location of the femur away from the hip bone. This arrangement shifts the line of weight transmission towards side way. Then you have the ball and socket type of joint at the hip joint. That allows all types of movement across the joint. You have the knee joint to give you hinge joint. This allows for bending the knee more or less. Together with these features the femur is architectural marvel.
What would the femur be at?
The femur is the longest bone in your body joining at the hip and knee and running through your thigh.
Is a short Femur a sign of Down Syndrome?
A short femur can be a soft marker for Down Syndrome when detected during prenatal ultrasound screening, but it is not a definitive diagnosis. Down Syndrome is typically confirmed through genetic testing. Short femur measurements alone are not enough to diagnose Down Syndrome. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and testing.
Which bone is the longest in the human skeleton Fibula Femur Tibia?
The femur.
Which ligament at the knee protects it from lateral rotation?
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) helps to prevent the knee from excessive lateral (sideways) rotation. It provides stability by limiting the tibia's forward movement in relation to the femur.
Where is your ACL?
Anterior Cruciate Ligament is approximately located in the middle of the human knee. It is vertically binding the back of the thigh bone (the femur) to the front of the shin bone (the tibia).
What is the specific role of the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments?
The ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) and the PCL (posterior cruciate ligament) are the two major ligaments in the knee that work together to provide stability in the knee. They cross each other and form an 'X' which allows the knee to flex and extend without side to side movement.
Which bone is found anterior to the distal end of the femur and proximal end of the tibia?
The patella is anterior to the joint between the femur and tibia. The patella is also known as the kneecap.
What is the ligament called that protects the alignment of the femoral and tibial condyles?
The ligament that protects the alignment of the femoral and tibial condyles is known as the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). It helps to stabilize the knee joint and prevent excessive forward movement of the tibia in relation to the femur. Injury to the ACL can result in instability and reduced function of the knee joint.
Is the rectus femoris the shoulder muscle?
No, it is on the anterior femur. AKA, top of thigh.
What does your ACL do to protect your knee joint during physical activities?
The ACL, or anterior cruciate ligament, helps stabilize the knee joint and prevent excessive forward movement of the tibia (shin bone) in relation to the femur (thigh bone) during physical activities. This helps protect the knee from injuries such as twisting or hyperextension.
What is fracture of neck of femur?
external rotation and shortening of the affected leg, pain on any movement, tenderness on palpation of anterior and lateral aspects of the affectedt hip, the greater trochanter is elevated on the affected side, inability to mobilise.
Where does the piriformis muscle originate an insert?
The piriformis originates at the anterior sacrum and inserts at the greater trochanter of the femur.
What does 'negative anterior drawer' mean?
A "negative anterior drawer" test indicates that there is no significant forward movement of the tibia relative to the femur when the knee is flexed at 90 degrees. This suggests that the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is intact and functioning properly, as a positive result would indicate potential injury or laxity in the ACL. The test is commonly used in clinical assessments of knee injuries.
If a bone is in the posterior view is it a left or right bone?
It's the same bone viewed from the back. Anterior is the front view of the right femur and posterior is the back view of the right femur.
What is a Lachman test?
The Lachman test is a clinical examination technique used to assess the integrity of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee. During the test, the examiner stabilizes the femur with one hand while grasping the tibia with the other and applies an anterior force. A positive result is indicated by excessive forward movement of the tibia relative to the femur, suggesting an ACL tear or injury. This test is particularly valued for its sensitivity and reliability in diagnosing ACL injuries.
