Bony Lower Extremity Flashcards

1
Q

Weight transfer

A
  1. Weight of the upper body is transmitted centrally through the vertebral column
  2. Divided, and directed laterally by means of the bony arch that is formed by the sacrum and the ilium on each side. The dense bony column for weight transmission through the head of the femur.
  3. head of the femur to the shaft
  4. Pubic rami form braces that help maintain the integrity of the arch.

Q

Pectineal line on which side of the femur

A

Posterior
Spiral fracture on this line

17
Q

Attachment site for the gluteus medius

A

More posteriorly on the greater trochanter

18
Q

Intertrochanteric line side

A

On the anterior side of the femur

19
Q

Intertrochanteric crest side

A

On the posterior side of the femur

20
Q

Gluteal, tuberosity side

A

Posterior side of the femur

21
Q

Linea aspera side

A

Posterior side

22
Q

Gluteus medius placement on a femur

A

Posteriorly placed

23
Q

Gluteus minimus Placement on femur.

A

Anteriorly placed

24
Q

Adductor tubercle attachment

A

Attachment of the hamstring portion of the adductor Magnus to help form the adductor hiatus

25
Q

In a cross-section for the femur, which side is more pointed?

A

The posterior side- has linea aspera and allows attachment of the quadriceps muscles and the medial compartment and posterior compartment muscles
deep fascia will attach to both medial and lateral aspect of the linea aspera

Flat anterior surface
It is flat anteriorly to allow the attachment of the quadriceps muscles

Lateral medial sides are rounded

26
Q

Angle of inclination

A

Between the long axis of the femoral neck, and then the femoral shaft

Varies with age, sex and development

27
Q

Coxa Vara

A

Angle of inclination is decreased

The shaft or the femur deviates towards the midline

Mild shortening of the lower limb
Limits passive abduction of the hip

28
Q

Coxa valga

A

Increased angle of inclination

Shaft of the femur moves away from the midline

Lengthening of the lower limb
Limits passive adduction of the hip

29
Q

The tibia has the site of attachment for which muscles on anterior side

A

Pes anserine ligament

Sartorius gracilis, and semitendinosis muscles

30
Q

Cross-section of the tibia shows

A

Sharp edge on the anterior side
Flattened lateral surface
flattened medial surface And a rounded medial border
Rounded and flat posterior side

31
Q

Soleul line side of tibia

A

Posterior side

32
Q

Tibial tuberosity on which side of tibia

A

Anterior side

33
Q

Fibula cross-section

A

Pointed anteriorly
Rounded posteriorly
Rounded laterally

34
Q

Articular facet of the patella

A

Medial is smaller
lateral is bigger

35
Q

condyles of femur compared

A

Lateral condyle - Anterior surface is taller

Patellar almost always dislocate laterally
