JR-101 Week 2 Practice Questions 2026
Study Guide
1. 3 knee articulations patellofemoral
medial tibiofemoral
lateral tibiofemoral
2. knee joint a modified hinge joint
motion occurs in flexion, extension, rotation, pivot, and gliding move-
ment
requires great support from the soft tissues for stability and movement
3. Medial collateral liga- extends from the mediofemoral condyle to the medial part of the proximal
ment tibia
MCL is in place to resist valgus force
4. lateral collateral liga- runs from the later epicondyle to the fibular head
ment LCL in place to resist varus force
5. anterior cruciate liga- attaches from anterior tibial spine (on top of tibial plateau) to the lateral
ment femoral notch
In TKA the ACL is ALWAYS removed
6. posterior cruciate liga-
ment

Study Guide
attaches to the tibia posteriorly/inferiorly to the joint line to the medial
femoral notch
reserved in CR cases not PS cases
7. A Anterior cruciate ligament attaches to the lateral femoral notch
L Posterior cruciate ligament attaches to the medial femoral notch
P
M
8. ACL restrains which anterior tibial translation/ torsional strain
type of movement
9. PCL restrains which posterior tibial translation/ posterior influence on tibia
type of movement
10. medial and lateral each attach to the base of the tibias intercondylar eminence and joint
menisci capsule
11. medial and lateral deepens the knee joint
menisci fxn improves alignment between the femur and tibia
prevents excessive translation and rotation motion
12. distal end of the femur medial and lateral condyles
divides into the round-
ed
13. Medial condyle larger and more curved than lateral condyle
14. Anteriorly, the separates the condyles + articulates with the patella
trochlear groove
15. Medial and lateral epi- prominences that project from the side of their respective condyles
condyles are
important landmarks in TKA
