Anatomy - Lower Extremity / Pelvis Flashcards
this is the only muscle innervated by the peroneal division of the sciatic nerve above the fibular neck
the short head of the biceps femoris
why is the innervation of the biceps femoris interesting
this is the only muscle innervated by the peroneal division of the sciatic nerve above the fibular neck
this is the most common neural injury during THA
peroneal division of the sciatic nerve
mnemonic for shermans hip exam
3, 5, 24, 24, 5, 45, 12
these two nerves exit the pelvis through the greater sciatic foramen and reenter through the lesser
pudendal nerve and the nerve to obturator internus
femoral nerve innervation
iliacus, psoas, sartorius, usually pectineus, and quad femoris (vastus lateralis, intermedius, medialis, and rectus femoris)
obturator nerve innervation
gracilis, 3 adductors (magnus, longus, and brevis)
inferior gluteal nerve innervation
gluteus maximus
sciatic nerve innervation
semi-T, semi-M, biceps femoris (long head is tibial division, short head is peroneal division) and part of adductor magnus
2 semis, 2 biceps, and half of adductor magnus
innervation of the sciatic nerve
tibial nerve innervation
gastroc, soleus, plantaris, tib post, FDL, FHL, medial and lateral plantar nerves
deep peroneal nerve innervation
Anterior tib, EDL, EHL, EDB, peroneus tertius
SPN innervation
peroneus longus and brevis
peroneus longus and brevis supplied by
SPN
gracilis, 3 adductors (magnus, longus, and brevis) supplied by
obturator
strongest portion of the hip joint capsule
iliofemoral ligament
internal rotation of the hip capsule is limited by this structure
ischiofemoral ligament
ischiofemoral ligament does this
limits internal rotation of the hip capsule
this is the division between the greater and lesser sciatic foramina
sacrospinous ligament
this is the inferior border of the lesser sciatic foramen
sacrotuberous ligament
the exit and spatial orientation of the sciatic nerve
as it comes out of the greater sciatic foramen, the sciatic nerve divides into a peroneal and tibial division, the latter of which is more medial. this is why peroneal is more commonly injured
where is the lumbar plexus found
the lumbar plexus is found on the anterior surface of the quadratus lumborum, deep to the psoas
where is the genitofemoral nerve found
the genitofemoral nerve pierces the psoas to lie on its anteromedial surface
where is the femoral nerve found, proximal to its exit under the inguinal ligament
femoral nerve is between the iliacus and the psoas
where is the LFCN found
LFCN lies on top of iliacus, exits underneath the inguinal ligament
femoral triangle
sartorius laterally, pectineus medially, and inguinal ligament. Floor is iliacus, psoas, pectineus, and adductor longus (I Pso Pec Add Long)
course of the saphenous nerve at the apex of the femoral triangle
saphenous nerve branches here and courses under sartorius
POPS IQ
pudendal, obturator internus, postfemoral cutaneous, sciatic, inferior gluteal, quadratus femoris.
