ANA = lower limb Flashcards
anterior cruciate ligament
posterior cruciate ligament
where present = inside capsule
ACL = prevents ant dislocation of tibia over femur / posterior dislocation of femur over tibia and inserts laterally
PCL = prevents posterior dislocation of tibia over femur / anterior dislocation of femur over tibia and inserts medially
adductor canal boundries and contents
anteromedially = sartorius
laterally = vastus medialis
posteriorly = adductor longus and magnus
contents = superficial femoral artery and vein along with
nerve to vastus medialis and saphenous nerve which are branches of femoral nerve
unilateral cryptorchidism and testes outside scrotum
higher chances of malignancy
anal canal is supplied by ?
superior and inferior rectal artery
placement of femoral veina nd artery in femoral triangle
medial artery and lateral vein
blood supply of head of femur and neck of femur
head = avascular necrosis
adults = retinacular artery > medial circumflex artery
child = obturator artery
neck = medial and lateral circumflex
MAIN EXTENSOR OF THE THIGH ??
gluteus maximus = extensor and lateral rotation of the thigh
inf gluteal nerve
function of gluteus medius and minimus ??
abduction and medial rotation
sup gluteal nerve = prevents drooping of the hip on contralateral side
