USAHS Anatomy Midterm (LE) Exam
Questions and Answers All Correct
2024/2025 Update
Where is the transverse tarsal joint - Answer- anterior surfaces on talus and calcaneus
articulating with posterior surfaces of navicular and cuboid
What motions occur at transverse tarsal joint and what axis? - Answer- hind foot and
forefoot in inversion and eversion on oblique axis
What motions occur at subtalar (talocalcaneal) joint and what axis? - Answer- inversion
and eversion around the oblique axis
How many degrees of freedom occur in subtalar joint - Answer- 1 degree of freedom
(plane synovial joint)
Where do you find a q angle - Answer- patellofemoral angle (patella and femur)
What is a q angle - Answer- angle between quadriceps muscle (primarily rectus femoris)
and patellar ligament
How is the q angle determined - Answer- by drawing a line from ASIS to midpoint of
patella, and from tibial tuberosity to midpoint of patella
What is a normal angle range for q angle - Answer- 13-19 degrees (greater in females
because pelvis is wider)
what disorder is associated with abdnormal q angles - Answer- patellofemoral pain
syndrome
articulating surfaces and bony landmarks of the femur - Answer- convex femoral head,
convex medial/lateral condyles (greater and lesser trochanter, intertrochanteric crest,
lines aspera, intercondylar fossa, medial/lateral femoral epicondyles)
articulating surfaces and bone landmarks of the tibia - Answer- concave medial/lateral
condyles, tibial tuberosity, tibial intercondylar tubercles, medial malleolus
articulating surfaces and bone landmarks of the fibula - Answer- fibular head, lateral
malleolus, fibular shaft
, articulating surfaces and bone landmarks of the talus - Answer- ankle bone directly
under tibia that interacts with tibia to make the talocrural joint
articulating surfaces and bone landmarks of the calcaneus - Answer- heel bone inferior
to the talus, largest bone in the foot
describe the popliteal fossa - Answer- located behind the knee; contains the tibial nerve,
common fibular nerve, popliteal artery and vein
what did the popliteal artery and vein used to be before going into the adductor hiatus -
Answer- femoral artery and vein
what makes up the femoral triangle (in hip) - Answer- inguinal ligament, sartorius,
adductor longus
floor of triangle is iliopsoas
what is the adductor hiatus - Answer- Opening or gap in adductor magnus that transmits
the femoral artery and vein from the adductor canal in the thigh to the popliteal fossa
posterior to the knee
What is the angle of inclination? - Answer- angle between neck and shaft of femur in
frontal plane
what is the normal angle of inclination - Answer- 125 degrees
What is the angle of torsion? - Answer- angle between the shaft and the neck of the
femur in the transverse plane (normal is head and neck rotated outward from shaft
around 15-25 degrees)
what makes up tom dick and very nervous harry? - Answer- tibialis posterior muscle,
flexor digitorum longus muscle, posterior tibial artery, posterior tibial vein, tibial nerve,
flexor hallicus longus muscle
how do you determine pelvic tilt - Answer- palpate the distance between ASIS and PSIS
describe "normal" pelvic tilt - Answer- ASIS and PSIS are more than 1 inch apart
creates normal cervical/lumbar lordosis (lordotic curve) and normal thoracic/sacral
kyphosis (kyphotic curve)
describe anterior pelvic tilt - Answer- ASIS and PSIS are more than 1 inch apart
creates abnormal vertical curvature of spine, extreme cervical/lumbar lordosis and
extreme thoracic/sacral kyphosis
