Final Review Flashcards
Source of blood for head of femur
medial femoral circumflex
Fascia of what muscle’s inferior edge thickened to form inguinal ligament
external oblique
femoral sheath is a continuation of….
transversalis fascia
site of inguinal hernia
superficial inguinal ring
What type of joint is the ankle
hinge type
hing type joint in ankle permits…
permits dorsiflexion and plantar flexion (not inversion or eversion)
Two joints inversion/eversion movements occur
1) subtalar joint (talus and calcaneus)
2) transverse tarsal joint (between talus and navicular medially, calcaneus and cuboid bones laterally)
Result of excessive eversion
Pott’s Fracture. Medial malleolus and shaft of the fibula fractured
Three ligaments, all attaching to lateral malleolus of fibula, which permit free dorsi/plantarflexion but limit inversion of foot
1) anterior talofibular ligament
2) posterior talofibular ligament
3) calcaneofibular ligament
Ligaments stretch or torn in ankle sprain
1) anterior talofibular ligament
2) calcaneofibular ligament
Origin of all hamstrings
ischial tuberosity
Easy way to identify semitendinosus
long distal tendon
Easy way to idenfity semimembranosus
flattened tendon
Action of hamstrings
All extend thigh and flex leg. Biceps short head only flexes leg though
Pulled hamstrings
tear or avulsion part of origin of muscles ischial tuberosity
Pulled groin
tear or strech of adductor group at PUBIS
Quick way to identify great saphenous vein
it’s anterior to the medial malleolus
Start of great saphenous vein
dorsal venous arch of foot (ascends medially)
Hip pointer
contusion of muscles at anterior superior iliac spine (origin of sartorius)
Weaver’s Bottom
Iflammation of ischial bursae
Test for congenital hip dislocation
Barlow Maneuver - adduct hip while applying posterior forces to knee
Direction of congenital dislocation of hip
superior
Direction of traumatic dislocation of hip
posterior
appearance of dislocated hip
leg is rotated medially and appears to be shorter
