24
Q

Which of the posterior thigh muscles is most lateral?

A

Biceps femoris

25
What are the four posterior thigh muscles?
Semimembranosus Semitendinosus Long head of biceps Short head of biceps
26
What is the action of the hamstrings on the hip and knee joint?
Extension (hip) | Flexion (knee)
27
Which nerve innervates the posterior thigh muscles?
Sciatic nerve
28
Which leg bone is not involved in the knee joint?
Fibula
29
Which is the most important muscle in stabilising the knee joint?
Vastus lateralis
30
What are the attachments of the fibular/lateral collateral ligament (LCL)?
Lateral epicondyle of the femur | Lateral surface of the head of the fibula
31
The tendon of which muscle passes deep to the LCL, separating it from the lateral meniscus?
Popliteus
32
What are the attachments of the tibial/medial collateral ligament (MCL)?
Medial epicondyle of the femur | Medial meniscus and upper part of the medial surface of the tibia
33
Why is the firm attachment of the MCL to the medial meniscus clinically important?
The meniscus is more likely to be damaged
34
Which actions does the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) prevent?
Posterior dislocation of the knee | Internal rotation of the knee
35
Which action does the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) prevent?
Anterior dislocation of the knee
36
What are the main functions of the menisci?
Disperse the weight of the body and reduce friction
37
Which meniscus is firmly adhered to the deep surface of the tibial or medial collateral ligament?
Medial meniscus
38
Which bursa communicates with the articular cavity of the knee joint?
Suprapatellar
39
What is the clinical significance of the suprapatellar bursa communicating with the knee joint?
Infection of the bursa can spread to the joint itself
40
What are the 5 Ps of peripheral vascular disease?
``` Pallor Pain Pulselessness Paraesthesia Paralysis ```
41
What is the action of sartorius on the hip joint?
Flexion
42
What are the actions of pectineus on the hip joint?
Adduction Internal rotation Flexion
