Intermediate Lateral Condyle of Femur Quiz

Q1. Which meniscus is associated with the lateral femoral condyle?

• Glenoid labrum
• Acetabular labrum
• Lateral meniscus
• Medial meniscus

Q2. Where does the popliteus muscle originate in relation to the lateral femoral condyle?

• The greater trochanter
• A groove on the lateral surface of the lateral femoral condyle
• The medial femoral condyle
• The tibial tuberosity

Q3. Which ligament has a femoral attachment on the lateral epicondyle just superior to the lateral condyle?

• Fibular collateral ligament
• Patellar ligament
• Tibial collateral ligament
• Spring ligament

Q4. Which cruciate ligament attaches to the medial surface of the lateral femoral condyle within the intercondylar fossa?

• Posterior cruciate ligament
• Patellar ligament
• Fibular collateral ligament
• Anterior cruciate ligament

Q5. How does the lateral femoral condyle relate to the patellar surface anteriorly?

• It is continuous with the lateral part of the patellar surface
• It articulates with the patella only posteriorly
• It is separated from the patella by the fibular head
• It has no relationship to the patellofemoral articulation

Q6. Which femoral condyle generally projects farther anteriorly at the patellar surface and helps resist lateral patellar displacement?

• Medial femoral condyle
• Lesser trochanter
• Femoral head
• Lateral femoral condyle

Q7. What is the relationship between the lateral condyle and lateral epicondyle?

• They are identical terms
• The epicondyle is a nonarticular prominence superior to the articular condyle
• The condyle lies entirely proximal to the epicondyle
• The epicondyle forms the main tibial articular surface

Q8. Which region of the distal femur lies proximal and posterior to the condyles?

• Popliteal surface
• Trochanteric fossa
• Patellar surface
• Femoral neck

Q9. Why is the lateral meniscus important to articulation with the lateral femoral condyle?

• It fuses the femur to the tibia
• It prevents all rotation at the knee
• It forms the fibular collateral ligament
• It improves congruity and distributes load

Q10. How does the lateral femoral condyle participate in normal knee motion?

• It articulates directly with the fibular head
• It rolls and glides on the lateral tibial plateau
• It rotates within the acetabulum
• It remains fixed while only the patella moves
