Medial condyle/shaft of tibia

40
Q

(medial to lateral)

42

A

ASIS to pubic tubercle

43
Q

A

Fascia lata

44
Q

What is the opening called that gives rise to the great saphenous vein?

A

Saphenous opening

45
Q

What does the saphenous vein drain Ito?

A

Femoral vein

46
Q

A
  1. Vastus medialis (anteriorly)
  2. Adductor longus and adductor Magnus posteriorly
  3. Sartorius (medially)
47
Q

What does the adductor canal contain

A

Femoral artery
Femoral vein
Saphenous nerve

48
Q

How does the sciatic nerve pass from pelvis to buttock?

A

Via greater sciatic notch

49
Q

Where does the sciatic nerve lie in the buttock

A

Inferior medial quadrant

50
Q

Along what aspect of the thigh does the sciatic nerve pass?

51
Q

What does the sciatic nerve divide into?

A

Tibial nerve and common perineal nerve

52
Q

What does the sciatic nerve supply

A

All hamstring muscles and all muscles below knee-level

53
Q

Below which muscle does the sciatic nerve usually pass into the thigh?

A

Piriformis

54
Q

55
Q

What does the acetabular labrum do?

Fibro-fatty tissue

57
Q

To what structure does the ligament of the head of femur attach to?

A

Attaches to the head of the femur at the fovea

58
Q

What ligament completes the socket for the femur to insert into?

A

Transverse acetabular ligament

59
Q

What are the ligaments of the hip bone?

A
  1. Iliofemoral ligament
  2. Pubofemoral ligament
  3. Ischio-femoral ligament

What are the capsular ligaments of the hip bone

A
  1. Iliofemoral ligament
  2. Pubofemoral ligament
  3. Ischio-femoral ligament
61
Q

What is the main artery branch that supplies the head of the femur?

A

Profunda femoris artery

62
Q

What branches come off the profunda femuris artery

A

Lateral circumflex femoral artery and medial circumflex femoral artery

63
Q

What is unusual about blood supply to the head of the femur

A

It goes distally to proximally - fracture at the neck of the femur can lead to avascular necrosis of the head of the femur

64
Q

Describe the progression of arteries in the thigh region

A

Abdominal aorta splits into external and internal iliac - external iliac passes under inguinal ligament and becomes femoral artery - which then gives off a deep branch

65
Q

How does the femoral artery and vein pass from the anterior compartment to the posterior compartment in the knee?

A

Via the hiatus of adductor Magnus muscle - they then become the POPLITEAL artery and vein

66
Q

What are the superficial veins of the region?

A
  1. Great saphenous vein - joins femoral artery at sapheno-femoral junction
67
Q

What are the deep veins of the region

A
  1. Popliteal vein
  2. Femoral vein
  3. External iliac vein
68
Q

Explain lymph drainage of the region

A

Superficial and deep inguinal lymph nodes present - lots of nodes present

69
Q

Which nerve supplies the anterior compartment of the thigh?

A

Femoral nerve

70
Q

Which nerve supplies the medial compartment of the thigh?

A

Obturator nerve

71
Q

Which nerve supplies the posterior compartment of the thigh?

A

Sciatic nerve - also everything below knee

72
