How does the quadriceps tendon run Inserts on the patella and continues to tibial tuberosity; sits on top of femoropatellar joint
What is the function of the patella? The patella needs to be there for extension; it provides a mechanical advantage for the quadriceps femoris because it increases the angle of extension (like a lever)

Which nerve is related to the action of the Achilles' tendon reflex Vestibular nerve
How does the medial collateral ligament travel? The MCL runs medial from the medial femoral epicondyle and it insets in the tibia by the tibial tuberosity

If the MCL is torn, name what will happen to the person Will have passive abnormal abduction of the extended leg
Where does the MCL lie in relation to the axes of flexion and extension? Posterior to the axes
Is the MCL taut (tight) or loose during extension? Taut; this limits leg extension
How does the lateral/fibular collateral ligament (LCL) run? Runs from lateral femoral epicondyle and inserts in the fibular head

A tear in the LCL is recognized as Passive abnormal adduction of the extended leg
How does the ACL anterior cruciate ligament run? Runs from anterior tibia; passed the intercondylar eminence on its way to the lateral femoral condyle within the intercondylar notch (where it inserts); ligament runs posterolateral
What is the relationship of the LCL and ACL in terms of location? They are perpendicular to one another
Which is shorter: ACL or PCL ACL slightly shorter
ACL function Helps to stabilize the knee joint; prevents posterior movement of the femur on the tibial plateau
Tear in ACL is called Anterior drawer sign; abnormal passive displacement of the tibia anteriorly
How does the posterior cruciate ligament travel Runs from the posterior tibia by the intercondylar eminence and inserts on the medial femoral condyle
Function of the PCL Key stabilizer of the knee; checks anterior movement of the femur on tibial plateau; prevents femur from sliding forward; prevents hyperflexion of the knee joint
Torn PCL referred to as Posterior drawer sign; abnormal passive posterior displacement of the tibia
