25
Q

overall function of the medial compartment of the thigh?

A

adductors of the thigh
(exception=adductor magnus)

26
Q

functions of semintendinosus and semimembranosus:

A

extend thigh at the hip, flex the leg at the knee

27
Q

semimembranosus and semitendinosus innervation:

A

sciatic nerve - tibial branch (post comp)

28
Q

biceps femoris function:

A

long head: flex leg at the knee, extend thigh at the hip

short head: flex leg at the knee (origin not near hip joint)

29
Q

sciatic nerve branches:

A

tibial (L4-S3)
common fibular (L4-S2)

30
Q

where does the sciatic nerve exit the pelvis:

A

typically below the piriformis
separates into branches proximal to popliteal fossa

31
Q

muscles that border the popliteal fossa:

A

superior med: semitendinosus, semimembranosus

super lat: biceps femoris

inferior lat: plantaris, lateral head gastrocnemius

inferior med: medial head gastrocnemius

32
Q

superficial to deep arrangement of popliteal fossa:

A

tibial nerve (and common fibular)
popliteal vein
popliteal artery

33
Q

what x2 tendons form the greater and lesser sciatic foramen?

A

sacrospinous and sacrotuberous

34
Q

what action does the iliofemoral ligament prevent:

A

anterior on the femur
prevents hyperextension

35
Q

what action does the pubofemoral ligament prevent:

A

attaches to medial femur
prevents hyperabduction

36
Q

articular surface of the acetabulum

A

lunate surface

37
Q

“cup” of the acetabulum

A

acetabular labrum
external to the articulation
deepens/supports the cup?

38
Q

name of the ligament inside the acetabular fossa:

A

ligamentum teres

39
Q

ligament that is the floor of the acetabulum:

A

transverse acetabular ligament

40
Q

3 ligaments that form the acetabulum joint capsule:

A

ischiofemoral
pubiofemoral
iliofemoral

41
Q

what arteries form the retinacular branches?

A

medial and lateral circumflex arteries
supply femoral neck?

42
Q

which branch supplies the blood to the femoral head?

A

obturator artery (from internal iliac)

43
Q

what branches form the cruciate anastomosis?

A

medial circumflex
lateral circumflex
1st perforating branch of profunda femoris
inferior gluteal artery

44
Q

what does the medial circumflex artery supply?

A

mainly the intracapsular region of the femoral neck
underneath the joint ligaments?

45
Q

damage to what artery can cause avascular necrosis (AVM) of the femoral neck?

A

ascending branch medial circumflex

46
Q

intracapsular tronchanteric fractures

A

inside the capsule ligaments
damages retinacular arteries
compromises blood supply to head
risk of avascular necrosis

47
Q

extracapsular trochanteric fractures

A

does not affect the blood supply to the joint
outside of the capsule
