Anatomy Flashcards
Origin of sartorius
ASIS
Origin of rectus femoris
AIIS
Acetabulum orientation
15 degrees anteverted
45 degrees caudally oriented in coronal plane
Adult posterior hip approach guidelines
Do not completely transect quadratus femoris to prevent damage to medial femoral circumflex artery
Pediatric femoral nail insertion guidelines
Piriformis starting point threatens posterosuperior retinacular vessels. Potential for femoral head AVN
Femoral neck anteversion
14 degrees in relation to femoral condyles
Femoral neck-shaft angle
Average 127 degrees (141 degrees in fetus)
Extrascapular region of hip joint capsule
Basicervical and intertrochanteric crest
Strongest ligament in body
Iliofemoral ligament
Attaches AAIS to intertrochanteric line in an inverted Y manner
Muscles involved, hip flexion
Iliipsoas, rectus femoris, psoas, sartorius
PePsIlSaRe
Muscles involved, hip extension
Gluteus Maximus, hamstrings (Semitendinosus, seminembranosus, long head of biceps femoris)
Muscles involved, hip abduction
Gluteus medius, gluteus minimus (primary), tensor fascia lata (helps with abduction in flexed hip)
Muscles involved, hip adduction
Adductor brevis, longus, magnus; pectineus, gracilis
Muscles involved, hip external rotation
Obturator internus, obturator externus, superior and inferior gemelli, quadratus femoris, piriformis
Muscles involved, hip internal rotation
Secondary actions of anterior fibers of gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, TFL, semimembranosus, semitendinosus, pectineus, posterior part of adductor magnus
Fubular neck has a groove for this nerve
Common peroneal nerve
Borders of femoral triangle
Lateral: sartorius
Medial: pectineus
Superior: inguinal ligament
Floor (lateral to medial): iliacus, psoas, pectineus, adductor longus
Structures passing through femoral triangle
(Lateral to medial): femoral nerve, artery, vein and lymphatic vessels
NAVaL
Borders of femoral triangle
Lateral: sartorius
Medial: pectineus
Superior: inguinal ligament
Floor (lateral to medial): iliacus, psoas, pectineus, adductor longus
Structures passing through femoral triangle
(Lateral to medial): femoral nerve, artery, vein and lymphatic vessels
NAVaL
Blood supply of femoral head
Medial femoral circumflex artery
Course of medial femoral circumflex artery
Runs between pectineus and iliopsoas and proceeds distally anterior to quadratus femoris on its cranial edge just distal to obturator externus
Blood supply of menisci
Lateral and medial geniculate arteries
Supplies cruciate ligaments
Middle geniculate artery
Anastomotic connection between inferior epigastric branch of external Iliac vessels and obturator vessels in the obturator canal
Corona Mortis
Can lead to life threatening injury if injured
Can be injured by placement of a tabular screws in anterosuperior quadrant during total hip arthroplasty
Femoral artery from external iliac artery
