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.
![Page 8: Joints of the Lower Limb](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56816578550346895dd80e53/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Ligaments
Ligament of the head of the femur primarily a synovial fold conducting a blood vessel weak and of little importance in strengthening the hip joint.

MOVEMENTS OF HIP JOINTDuring extension of the hip joint, the fibrous layer of the joint capsule, especially the iliofemoral ligament, is tense.
The hip can usually be extended only slightly beyond the vertical except by movement of the bony pelvis (flexion of lumbar vertebrae).
![Page 11: Joints of the Lower Limb](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56816578550346895dd80e53/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).
