Term
Talus
Definition
superior to the calcaneous
Term
calcaneous
Definition
heel bone
Term
cuboid
Definition
lateral to the lateral cuneiform
Term
navicular
Definition
proximal to the cuneiforms
Term
cuneiform
Definition
medial, intermediate and lateral, proximal to the metatarsals 
Term
phalanges
Definition
proximal, medial, distal (1-5)
Term
Morton Long Toe
Definition
when the first metatarsal is shorter than the second metatarsal. Tendence to sickle.
Term
hallux valgus
Definition
misalignment of first toe. the two phalanges of the first toe angle off to the lateral side of the foot. can come from wearing shoes that are two narrow when the bones are ossifying.
Term
Three bony landmarks of the Fibula
Definition
the lateral malleolus, the shaft and the head
Term
Large chunks of bone at the proximal end of the tibia
Definition
medial and lateral condyles
Term
Intercondylar eminence
Definition
rough bony protrusion in between the lateral and medial condyles
Term
True Ankle Joint
Definition
articulation of the talus, the inferior articulating surface of the tibia, the lateral malleolus of the fibula and the medial malleolus of the tibia
Term
Femur
Definition
the portion of the anatomy between the hip joint and the knee joint. The longest bone of the body.
Term
Six major ligaments of the knee joint
Definition
two collateral ligaments, two cruciate ligaments and two popliteal ligaments
Term
two collateral ligaments: anterior and posterior
Definition
medial and lateral sides of the knee, running from the respective epicondyles of the femur down to the tibia on the medial side to the head of the fibula on the lateral side. provide lateral stability for the knee joint
Term
two popliteal ligaments: arcuate and oblique
Definition
run from posterior of femur to posterior of tibia. restrict hyperextension
Term
medial and lateral meniscus
Definition
half moons of cartilage that lie on the superior articulating surfaces of the tibia and are attached to the tibia
Term
Knock Knees
Definition
when the medial condyle is is taller than the lateral condyle. can't stand in parallel without either overlapping the knees or pressing the knees to a hyperextended position. Be careful to avoid pronated feet
Term
Bow Legs
Definition
When the lateral condyle of the femur is taller than the medial condyle. Tendancy to transfer the weight to the lateral side of the knees
Term
Chrondomalacia of the Patella
Definition
When the tibial tuberosity is lateral to the center of the bone. May be related to tibial torsion or knock knees. Patella rides over the lateral condyle of the femur. Causes friction and irritation of the posterior surface of the patella. Build up of bony scar tissue which results in crunching of the knee in movement
