Q

what is the femoral canal and what does it contain?

A

potential space medially within the femoral sheath

contains fat and lymphatics

21
Q

where is gluteus maximus?

A

sacrum, sacrotuberosus ligament and ilium behind the posterior gluteal line –> iliotibial tract (3/4 fibres), gluteal tuberosity of femur (1/3rd)

22
Q

what is the function of gluteus maximus?

A

extends and laterally rotates hip

23
Q

what innervates gluteus maximus?

A

inferior gluteal nerve (L5-S2)

24
Q

where is tensor fasciae latae?

A

anterior iliac crest and anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) –> iliotibial tract

25
Q

what is the function of tensor fasciae latae?

A

tenses fasciae latae and iliotibilal tract, supports femur on tibia while standing

26
Q

what innervates tensor fasciae latae?

A

superior gluteal nerve (L4-S1)

27
Q

where is gluteus medius?

A

ilium between posterior and anterior gluteal lines –> lateral surface of greater trochanter of femur

28
Q

what is the function of gluteus medius?

A

abduct and medially rotate hip

29
Q

what innervates gluteus medius?

A

superior gluteal nerve (L4-S1)

30
Q

where is gluteus minimis?

A

ilium between anterior and inferior gluteal lines –> anterior surface of greater trochanter

31
Q

what is the function of gluteus minimis?

A

abducts and medially rotates hip

32
Q

what innervates gluteus minimis?

A

superior gluteal nerve (L4-S1)

33
Q

where is piriformis?

A

anterior sacrum and sacrotuberous ligament –> superior border of greater trochanter of femur

34
Q

what does the piriformis pass through?

A

greater sciatic foramen

35
Q

what is the function of piriformis?

A

laterally rotate hip

36
Q

what innervates piriformis?

A

anterior rami S1+2

37
Q

where is gemellus superior?

A

ischial spine –> tendon of obturator internus

38
Q

where is gemellus inferior?

A

ischial tuberoisty –> blends with tendon of obturator internus

39
Q

what innervates gemellus superior?

A

nerve to obturator internus (L5+S1)

40
Q

what innervates gemellus inferior?

A

nerve to quadratus femoris (L5+S1)

41
Q

what is the function of gemellus superior and inferior?

A

laterally rotate hip

42
Q

where is quadratus femoris?

A

ischial tuberoisty –> quadrate tubercle on intertrochanteric crest of femur

43
Q

what is the function of quadratus femoris?

A

laterally rotate hip

44
Q

what innervates quadratus femoris?

A

nerve to quadratus femoris (L5+S1)

45
Q

while walking what movement and kind of rotation occurs around the planted limb?

A

medial rotation and abduction, raising the pelvis

46
Q

describe the movement of the pelvis and lower limb during walking

A

plant one limb, medially rotate planted leg, laterally rotate the other leg to bring it forward
around the planted limb you have medial rotation and abduction which raises the pelvis

47
Q

what are the gluteal vessels and nerves named in relative to?

A

piriformis

48
Q

what is the route of the superior gluteal nerve?

A

comes through above piriformis to run between the gluteus medius and minimus to supply them both

49
Q

what do the inferior gluteal vessels and nerves supply?

A

mostly to gluteus maximus
