Q

Quadriceps Femoris

A 
Femoral nerve
Femor 
Extensor of leg
1. Rectus femoris (flexes hip and extends knee) -AIIS
2. Vastus lateralis
3. Vastus intermedius
4. Vastus medialis
*Vasti on shaft of femus 
All insert onto quadriceps tendon --> tibial tuberosity
26
Q

Quadriceps tendon

A

crosses the knee joint anteriorly, encloses the patella, and inserts as the patellar ligament onto the tibial tuberosity.

27
Q

pain in the area of the tibial tuberosity where the patellar ligament attaches; an epiphysitis of the tuberosity. Usually occurs in adolescents (10-15, growth spurt) and is aggravated by activities like running, jumping, squatting and kneeling. Risk factors include excess weight and overzealous activity.

A

Osgood-Schlatter disease

28
Q

Patellar Tendon Reflex

A

knee jerk; patient sits on a table with their legs dangling. A firm strike on the patellar ligament with a reflex hammer usually causes the leg to extend. If the reflex is normal, a hand on the person’s quadriceps should feel the muscle contract. This tendon reflex tests the integrity of the femoral nerve and the L2-L4 spinal cord segments

29
Q

Knee jerk tests _________

A

L2-L4 (femoral nerve)

30
Q

2 muscles form floor of femoral triangle

A

Iliopsoas, Pectineus

31
Q

Iliopsoas

A

Femoral Nerve and lumbar plexus

Powerful flexor of hip joint

32
Q

Pectineus

A

Femoral nerve (sometimes obturator)
flexes and adducts
Often considered part of adductor compartment

33
Q

Fibers of the _____ and the _____ muscle fuse in the pelvis to form the iliopsoas , which inserts on the lesser trochanter. Innervation is via _______

A

Fibers of the iliacus and the psoas muscle fuse in the pelvis to form the iliopsoas , which inserts on the lesser trochanter. Innervation is via ventral rami of L1-L3.

34
Q

Iliopsoas may act as a _____ of the ____ or of the ______, depending on which end of the muscle is fixed. liopsoas also ________ the femur.

A

Iliopsoas may act as a flexor of the hip or of the vertebral column, depending on which end of the muscle is fixed. liopsoas also internally rotates the femur.

35
Q

Branches of deep femoral artery (2 significant)

A

Medial circumflex femoral artery
Lateral circumflex femoral artery
(perforating branches)

36
Q

2 anastomoses around femur

A

Cruciate (1st perforating, inferior gluteal branches, med/later c. f.)
Trochanteric (Superior gluteal, inferior gluteal, med c.f., lat c.f.)

37
Q

Obturator nerve spinal cord

A

L2,3,4 (from lumbar plexus) - anterior divisions

38
Q

Hamstring part of adductor magnus supplied by

A

tibial nerve

39
Q

All adductors of thigh supplied by

A

Obturator nerve

40
Q

Medial compartment of thigh muscles

A
  1. Gracilis: Gracilis adducts the thigh and flexes the leg – crosses two joints.
  2. Adductor longus
  3. Adductor brevis
  4. Adductor magnus

**Adduct and medially rotate thigh at hip joint

41
Q

medial femoral circumflex artery deep in the _____ and between _____ and ____.

A

medial femoral circumflex artery deep in the femoral triangle and between pectineus and psoas.

42
Q

The anterior branch of the obturator nerve lies on the surface of the ______, deep to ______

43
Q

The posterior branch of the obturator nerve lies deep to the ______ and ______

A

The posterior branch lies deep to the brevis and pectineus

44
Q

Adductor magnus supplied by

A

tibial and obturator nerves

45
Q

blood supply to medial thigh

A

obturator artery, branch of internal iliac

46
Q

What divides a/p obturator nerves?

A

Adductor brevis

47
Q

Groin pull

A

strain, stretching and possibly tearing of the proximal attachments of the adductor muscles of the thigh (and sometimes flexors). Groin injuries usually occur in sports that require quick starts such as short-distance racing

48
Q

Hip reinforced by 3 ligaments:

A

Iliofemoral
Pubofemoral
Ischiofemoral

49
Q

Iliofemoral ligament

A

most important; prevents overextension of joint; anterior; prevents hyperextension of hip joint – strongest ligament in the body. In quiet standing position, most of the body’s weight and pressure rests on the iliofemoral ligament. Iliofemoral ligament attaches to AIIS and acetabular labrum superiorly and the intertrochanteric line distally.

50
Q

Pubofemoral ligament

A

anterior/inferior; prevents overabduction of the hip joint.

51
Q

Ischiofemoral ligament

A

posterior; Weakest of three ligaments.

52
Q

A fracture/traumatic dislocation of the femoral neck can cause

A

compromise blood supply to head of femur (MCFA, anastomoses) –> avascular necrosis of the femoral head

53
Q

Fractures of neck of femur

-limb is usually ____ rotated and _____

A

laterally rotated and shorter

54
Q

Hip dislocation

A

congenital (hip dysplasia) or acquired, posterior most common
Limb medially rotated and shorter (psoas)

55
Q

Femoral hernias pass through the____

A

femoral canal

56
Q

Which type of “hip” fracture is most common in elderly, osteoporotic females?

A

Subcapital (neck) fracture

57
Q

Which muscle of the quadriceps group acts over both the hip and knee joints?

A

Rectus Femoris

58
Q

What ligament of the hip joint contains an important blood supply to the femoral head in children?

A

Ligament of the head of the femur (round ligament or ligamentum teres)

59
Q

What structure would lie immediately lateral to a femoral hernia?

A

Femoral Vein

60
Q

A 22-year-old college football player was injured during a game. X-rays reveal an avulsion of the lesser trochanter of the femur. Severe reflex contraction of which of the following muscles would most likely cause this injury?
