JOINTS OF LOWER LIMB
Feature 1: Connection between lower limb & pelvic girdle
Feature 2: 2nd most movable after the shoulder joint
Synovial Joint Type: Ball and socket (Head of the femur & acetabulum)
Weight transfer: To the heads and necks of the femurs
Transverse acetabular ligament continuation of acetabular labrum
3 intrinsic ligaments1)Iliofemoral ligament anteriorly and superiorly , strongest
ligament of the body2)Pubofemoral ligament anteriorly and inferiorly3)Ischiofemoral ligament posteriorly –weakest of the 3Ligament of the head of the femur
Ligaments
Iliofemoral ligament Y-shaped
prevents hyperextension of the hip joint during standing by screwing the femoral head into the acetabulumPubofemoral ligament obturator crest of pubic bonetightens during both extension and abduction prevents overabduction of the hip joint
Ligaments
Ischiofemoral ligament
Ligaments
from the ischial part of the acetabular rimspirals around the femoral neck, medial to the base of the greater trochanter.
Ligaments
The ligaments and periarticular muscles (the medial and lateral rotators of the thigh) play a vital role in maintaining the structural integrity of the joint.
Flexion-extension Abduction-adduction Medial-lateral rotation Circumduction
MOVEMENTS OF HIP JOINT
MOVEMENTS OF HIP JOINTFrom the anatomical position, the range of abduction of the hip joint is usually greater than for adduction.
About 60° of abduction is possible when the thigh is extended, and more when it is flexed.
Lateral rotation is much more powerful than medial rotation.
KNEE JOINTFeature 1: Largest & most superficial joint
Feature 2: Hinge movements (Ext/Flex) combined with gliding & rotation
Synovial Joint Type: Hinge2 femorotibial articulations (lateral and medial) between lateral & medial femoral and tibial condyles1 intermediate femoropatellar articulation between patella & femurNo fibula involvment in the knee joint
Extracapsular ligaments1) Patellar ligament
2) Fibular (Lateral) collateral ligament
3) Tibial (Medial) collateral ligament
4) Oblique popliteal ligament
5) Arcuate popliteal ligament

INTRA-ARTICULAR LIGAMENTS Cruciate ligaments & menisci
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)
16
17Start: Posterior intercondylar area of tibiaEnd: Lateral surface of the medial condyle of femur
Start: anterior intercondylar area of tibia just posterior to the attachment of the medial meniscusEnd: Medial side of the lateral condyle of the femurr
18
Limits posterior rolling (turning and traveling) of the femoral condyles on the tibial plateau during flexion. Prevents posterior displacement of the femur on the tibia and hyperextension of the knee joint.
19
Llimits anterior rolling of the femur on the tibial plateau during extension. Prevents anterior displacement of the femur on the tibia or posterior displacement of the tibia on the femur and helpsprevent hyperflexion of the knee joint.
Menisci of the knee joint are crescentic plates of fibrocartilage on the articular surface of the tibia that deepen the surface and play a role in shock absorption.
21
MOVEMENTS OF KNEE JOINTFlexion and extension are the main knee movements; some rotation occurs when the knee is flexed. When the knee is fully extended with the foot on the ground, the knee passively “locks” because of medial rotation of the femoral condyles on the tibial plateau (the “screw-home mechanism”). This position makes the lower limb a solid column and more adapted for weight-bearing.

BURSAE AROUND KNEE JOINTThere are at least 12 bursae around the knee joint because most tendons run parallel to the bones and pull lengthwise across the joint during knee movements. The subcutaneous prepatellar and infrapatellar bursae are located at the convex surface of the joint, allowing the skin to be able to move freely during movements of the knee. The large suprapatellar bursa is especially important because an infection in it may spread to the knee joint cavity.

ANKLE JOINT Talocrural joint

FOOT JOINTSThe major joints at which movements occur SubtalarTalocalcaneonavicularCalcaneocuboid joints
Intertarsal joints between the cuneiforms and between the cuneiforms and the navicular allow only limited movement.
Transverse tarsal joint
Subtalar (talocalcaneal) joint
Transverse tarsal joint (calcaneocuboid and talonavicular joints)
Inversion and eversion of the foot are the main movements
FOOT JOINTS
SUBTALAR JOINTbetween
posterior calcaneal facet on inferior surface of taluscorresponding posterior talar facet on superior surface of calcaneus
allows gliding and rotation, involved in inversion and eversion of the foot.
SUBTALAR JOINT

TRANSVERSE TARSAL JOINT
TALOCALCANEONAVICULAR JOINT
complex joint head of the talus articulates with calcaneus plantar
calcaneonavicular ligament

CALCANEOCUBOID JOINTsynovial joint between:
facet on the anterior surface of the calcaneuscorresponding facet on the posterior surface of the cuboid.
CALCANEOCUBOID JOINTallows sliding and rotating movements involved with inversion and eversion of the foot.
reinforced by bifurcate ligament long plantar ligament plantar calcaneocuboid ligament (short plantar ligament).
Short plantar ligament plantar calcaneocuboid ligament
Short, wide, and very strongConnects calcaneal tubercle to the inferior surface of the cuboid.Supports the calcaneocuboid jointAssists the long plantar ligament in resisting depression of the lateral arch of the foot
Long plantar ligament Longest ligament in the sole of the foot. Lies inferior to the plantar calcaneocuboid ligament.Between calcaneus and cuboid bone (inferior surfaces)More superficial fibers extend to the bases of the metatarsal bones.Supports the calcaneocuboid joint. Strongest ligament, resisting depression of lateral arch of the foot.
Ellipsoid synovial joints between heads of metatarsals and bases of proximal phalanges. Allow extension and flexion, and limited abduction, adduction, rotation, and circumduction. Four deep transverse metatarsal ligaments link heads of metatarsals together and enable the metatarsals to act as a single unified structure.
Metatarsophalangeal joints
Interphalangeal joints Hinge joints Reinforced by medial and lateral collateral ligaments and by plantar ligaments.
between metatarsal bones and adjacent tarsal bones plane joints limited sliding movements.
The range of movement of tarsometatarsal joint between metatarsal of great toe and medial cuneiform greater than that of other tarsometatarsal joints allows flexion, extension, and rotation.

FOOT JOINTSIn the foot, flexion and extension occur in the forefoot at the metatarsophalangeal and interphalangeal joints. Inversion is augmented by flexion of the toes (especially the great and 2nd toes), and eversion by their extension (especially of the lateral toes).
