Cards

Term

embryological etiology

a) anterior

b) posterior

Definition

a) pre-axial is obturator and tibial N

b)post axial is femoral and common fibular N

Term
genu varum
Definition

bow legged

unequal distribution of weight towards inside of knee

Patella will move laterally in extension

Term
genu valgum
Definition

knock knee

lateral angulation relative to thigh

more weight is placed on lateral aspect of knee

Term
Tensor fascia Lata
Definition

forms iliotibial tract

divides muscles of the leg into ant. post. and med compartments

superior gluteal N l4-s1

often grouped with glutel muscles

 

Term

Anterior compartment of thigh

action of muscles

nerves and

arteries

Definition

flexor at the hip

extensor at the knee

femoral N

femor a.

Term

Medial compartment de thigh

actions

nerves

arteries

Definition

Adductors

obturator N l2,3,4

deep femoral obturator artery

Term

Posterior compartment of thigh

actions

nerve

bs

 

Definition

extensor of hip

flexor of knee

sciatic nerve

perforating femoral artery

Term
rectus femoris
Definition

orgin: 1 head to AIIS other to ilium sup to acetbulum

insertion: patella lig into tibial tuberosity

innervation: femoral nerve l2,3,4

action: helps with flexion at hip

extends leg at knee

Term

femoral triangle

Borders:

floor:

contents:

 

Definition

A) sartorius, adductor longus, inguinal ligament(lower fiber of oe)

b) pectineus and iliopsoas

roof: fascia lata

c) navel

femoral nerve, artery, vein, emptyspace, lacunar ligament

Term
femoral hernia
Definition
area near that empty space. Some of abdominal viscera protrudes through here and presents with a bulge. More common in women(bigger hips). May lead to necrosis.
Term
what structures can the femoral artery be compressed against?
Definition
soas major, supeior pubic ramus, femoral head
Term

adductor canal

borders:

contents

notes:

Definition

a) posteior medial: adductor l and mag

anterior: sartorius

lateral: vastus medialis

b) saphenous nerve

nerve to vastus medialis

femoral artery and vein

c) popliteal artery and vein=extensions of femoral a. and v. these are only 2 structure to leave,

Term

cruciate anastomoses

Linkage of Internal Iliac A. with Popliteal A. (bypass Femoral A.)

Definition
Inf. Gluteal A. (from Internal Iliac A.)→ Circumflex Femoral Aa.→ 1st Perforating A.→ Popliteal A.
Term

in a transcervial fracture what artery is involved?

b) spiral fracture

Definition

medial cirumflex humeral

b) profunda femoral

Term

femoral neck fracture

muscle

Definition

lateral rotation: gluteus maximus

shortening: rectus femoris

adductors

hamstring

MCF most affected -> necorisis
