Thigh and Knee Practice exam

What is the difference between extra-articular and intra-articular structures?

• Extra-articular structures are deep to the joint capsule, while intra-articular structures are superficial

• Extra-articular structures are in between the femur and tibia, while intra-articular are outside the joint

• Extra-articular structures are on the outside of the articulation between the femur and tibia but the intra-articular structures are in between them

• Extra-articular structures only apply to ligaments, intra-articular to tendons

What are the extra-articular structures of the knee?

• ACL, PCL, menisci, and transverse ligament

• Patellar ligament, quadriceps tendon, medial and lateral patellar retinacula, LCL, MCL, oblique popliteal ligament, arcuate popliteal

• Pes anserine bursa, infrapatellar bursa, suprapatellar bursa, LCL, MCL, ACL, menisci, iliotibial band, and transverse ligament

• Iliotibial band, gracilis tendon, adductor magnus

What are the intra-articular structures of the knee?
