Q

neuralgia paresthetic

A

compression of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve as it passes under the inguinal ligament
causes pain along lateral thigh

police officers often get it

Q

pathway of the saphenous nerve

Q

which vessel can be used to administer drugs or for coronary bypass surgery?

A

great saphenous vein

19
Q

what can accidentally get cut when making an incision for the great saphenous vein?

consequence?

A

saphenous nerve

pain along anterior and medial portion of leg

20
Q

westphal’s sign

A

absent or decreased patellar reflex

21
Q

patellar reflex

A

tests function of femoral nerve

L2-L4

22
Q

calcanea tendon reflex

A

tests S1 and S2

nerve root cut- ankle reflex virtually absent

23
Q

muscles that attach to pes anserinus

A

sartorius
semiTENDinosus
gracilis

24
Q

osgood-schlatter disease

A

quads pull on the tendon that connects the kneecap to shin bone

tendon pulls away from shin bone

lots of pain and swelling, can cause bony numb

25
Q

groin pull

A

at the junction between the trunk and thigh

strain/tearing of proximal attachments of thigh adductor/flexor muscles

have a pull between abdominal and leg muscles

26
Q

anterior thigh compartment - function/innervation

A

extension of knee , flexion ofthigh

femoral nerve

27
Q

medial thigh compartment - function/innervation

A

adduction of thigh

obturator n

28
Q

posterior thigh compartment - function/innervation

A

flexion of knee, extension of thigh

sciatic nerve

29
Q

what fibers transmit pain from the synovium

A

unmyelinated C fibers (nociceptive)

induced by prostaglandin E2

30
Q

ACL - O/I

A

from anterior part of intercondylar area of tibia to the lateral surface of medial condyle of femur

31
Q

when is the ACL taut

A

taut when leg is extended

32
Q

What does the ACL prevent

A

prevents posterior displacement of femur and anterior displacement of tibia

33
Q

anterior drawer sign

A

pull the tibia forward when the knee is flexed

it should not displace on the femur (it will if ACL is torn)

34
Q

PCL O/I

A

from posterior part of intercondylar area of tibia to the lateral surface of medial condyle of femur

35
Q

when is PCL taut

A

taut when leg is flexed

36
Q

what does the PCL prevent?

A

prevents the femur from sliding anteriorly on the tibia

37
Q

posterior drawer sign

A

push the tibia inward while the knee is flexed

it should not displace on femur- if it does PCL is torn

38
Q

which part of the menisci is thicker?

A

external margin (internal margin is thinner and not attached to joint capsule)

39
Q

what jones the menisci of the knee together?

A

transverse ligament of the knee

40
Q

medial meniscus attachment to PCL

A

posterior horn of the medial meniscus

41
Q

lateral meniscus attachment to PCL

A

posterior meniscofemoral ligament

42
Q

unhappy triad odonaheu

A

medial meniscus + ACL + MCL

lateral blow to knee while foot is flexed on the ground

43
Q

unhappy triad (modern)

A

lateral meniscus + ACL + MCL
