Study Notes
Sacroiliac Joint
- The auricular surface of the ilium articulates with the auricular surface of the sacrum.
- This articulation forms the sacroiliac joint, crucial for stability in the pelvis.
Coxal Joint
- The acetabulum of the coxal bone connects with the head of the femur.
- This forms the coxal joint, which allows for a wide range of motion in the hip.
Patellofemoral Joint
- The patellar surface of the femur interfaces with the patella.
- This articulation is vital for knee extension and stability.
Tibiofemoral Joint
- The medial and lateral condyles of the femur articulate with the tibia.
- This joint plays a fundamental role in weight-bearing and movement.
Fibula and Tibia Connections
- The head of the fibula articulates with the tibia.
- The lateral condyle of the tibia connects with both the lateral condyle of the femur and the head of the fibula.
Distal Articulations
- The lateral malleolus of the fibula connects with the distal tibia.
- The lateral portion of the distal tibia articulates with the lateral malleolus, which contributes to ankle stability.
Studying That Suits You

Description
This set of flashcards focuses on the articulations of the lower limb, specifically examining the sacroiliac joint formed by the ilium and sacrum. Each card prompts you to identify key components of these articulations, enhancing your understanding of lower limb anatomy.
