Anterior, Medial, posterior Thigh and gluet X Flashcards
Specialization of Deep Fascia
Saphenous Opening - Great saphenous vein comes out under inguinal ligament (next to femoral vein)
Tensor Facia late / Illiotibial tract - extension of leg at knee
Intermuscular septa thigh - compartmentalization
Intermuscular septa leg - compartmentalization
Retinacula - Extensor and Flexor
Plantar Aponeurosis - supports longitudinal arch
Venous Drainage Lower Limb
Great and small saphenous vein to Popliteal vein + deep (Varied) to Femoral vein
Lymphactic drainage
superficial inguinal nodes (glueats, abs, perineum) deep inguinal nodes (structure of femoral vein) Popliteal nodes (leg and foot)
Four Routes out of Pelvis
Obturator Canal
Gap btwn inguinal ligament and pelvic bone
Foramen
Boundaries Femoral Triangle + contents
Base - inguinal ligament
Sartorius
Adductor longus
Floor - pectineus illopsoas adductor longus
Femoral Nerve (not in sheath), Artery, Vein, Empy space, Lymphactis
Boundaries Adductor Canal + contents
Anteriorly - sartorius.
Postermedially - adductor longus and adductor magnus.
Laterally - vastus medialis.
(Apex of femoral triangle to adductor hiatus)
Contains Femoral vein, artery and parts of nerve specifically saphenous nerve
Adductor Hiatus + Structures
Adductor Magnus heads
PattelloFemoral Syndrome
Runner knee
caused by weakness and or tightness around knee or malalignment of patella
Trochanteric Bursutis
Bursa on top of greater trochanter becomes inflamed
can occur b/c leg length discrepancy
lateral hip pain
(v groin pain in hip arthritis)
Venous Stasis
Pooling of blood in lower limb - blood clot
Greater Sciatic Foreamen - contents
Superior gluteal vein, artery and nerve Piriformis Sciatic nerve INferioir gluteal vein artery and nerve Posterior femoral cutaneous nerve
Lesser sciatic foramen - contents
tendon to obturator internus mm
Bakers Cyst
cysts at back of knee filled with synovial fluid
Popliteal Fossa
Superior
–semimembranous and semitendenous - medial
–biceps femoris lateral
Inferior
–Medial head Gastrocnemius
–lateral lateral head gastrocnemius and plantaris
LOOK AT A PIC
Trendelenberg sign
weak hip abductors - if pt asked to stand on affected leg, hip will sag
