| medial collateral ligament, knee | A broad, flat, longitudinal band on the medial side of the knee joint. It is attached superiorly to the medial epicondyle of the femur, inferiorly to the medial surface of the body of the tibia, and in between to the medial meniscus. It is a frequent site of injury, particularly rupture and tear. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| medial ligament of knee | <anatomy> The broad fibrous band that passes from the medial epicondyle of the femur to the medial margin and medial surface of the tibia; the medial meniscus is attached to its deep surface; it is continuous with (a thickening of) the fibrous capsule of the knee joint. Synonym: ligamentum collaterale tibiale, medial ligament of knee. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coronary ligament of knee | Portions of the articular capsule of the knee joint which connect the circumference of the menisci with the margins of the condyles of the tibia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior ligament of knee | <anatomy> A broad fibrous band attached above to the lateral condyle of the femur and passing medially and downward, blending with the posterior part of the fibrous capsule of the knee joint, arching over the tendon of the popliteus muscle. Synonym: ligamentum popliteum arcuatum, popliteal arch, posterior ligament of knee. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse ligament of knee | A transverse band that passes between the lateral and medial menisci in the anterior part of the knee joint. Synonym: ligamentum transversum genus, transverse genicular ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral ligament of knee | <anatomy> The cordlike ligament that passes from the lateral epicondyle of the femur to the head of the fibula. Synonym: ligamentum collaterale fibulare, lateral ligament of knee, Winslow's ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior knee region | The anterior region of the knee. Synonym: regio genus anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arthroplasty, replacement, knee | Replacement of the knee joint. (12 Dec 1998) |
| arthroscopic knee repair | <orthopaedics> A fibreoptic procedure, known as arthroscopy, is used in the surgical repair of any of several knee ligaments including the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), lateral or medial meniscus, lateral collateral or medial collateral ligament. Recovery from this procedure is based largely on the ligament repaired and can be highly variable. (27 Sep 1997) |
| articular muscle of knee | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, lower fourth of anterior surface of shaft of femur; insertion, suprapatellar bursa of knee joint; action, retracts suprapatellar bursa, during extension of knee; nerve supply, femoral. Synonym: musculus articularis genus, articular muscle of knee, Dupre's muscle, subcrural muscle, subcruralis, subcrureus, subquadricipital muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular vascular network of knee | An arterial network over the front and sides of the knee, formed by branches of the descending genicular artery, of the five genicular arteries from the popliteal, of the anterior tibial recurrent, and of the fibular circumflex branch of the posterior tibial. Synonym: rete articulare genus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| back-knee | Hyperextension of the knee, the lower extremity having a forward curvature. Synonym: back-knee. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Brodie's knee | Chronic hypertrophic synovitis of the knee. Synonym: Brodie's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bursitis, knee | A bursa is a fluid-filled sac that functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction between moving tissues of the body. There are three major bursae of the knee. Bursitis is usually not infectious, but the bursa can become infected. Treatment of non-infectious bursitis includes rest, ice, and medications for inflammation and pain. Infectious bursitis is treated with antibiotics, aspiration, and surgery. (12 Dec 1998) |
| capped knee | Swelling of the bursa of the extensor metacarpi magnus muscle in cattle, usually caused by injury to the carpus in getting up and down on hard floors. (05 Mar 2000) |
