Glut + post thigh Flashcards
Obturator internus m: OIIA?
O: Innter obturator membrane
I: Medial greater trochanter
I: Nerve to obturator internus
A: Lateral rotation, stabilizes thigh
Gemellus superior m: OIIA?
O: Ischial spine
I: Medial greater trochanter
I: Nerve to obturator internus
A: Lateral rotation, stabilizes thigh
Gemellus inferior m: OIIA?
O: Ischial tuberosity
I: Medial greater trochanter
I: Nerve to quadratus femoris
A: Lateral rotation, stabilizes thigh
Piriformis m: OIIA?
O: lower sacrum
I: Medial greater trochanter
I: Nerve to piriformis
A: Lateral rotation, stabilizes thigh
What vessels come out above the piriformis? Below
Above: Superior gluteal n. or a.
Below: Inferior gluteal n. or a. + sciatic n.
Gluteus minimus m: OIIA?
O: Outer, superior ilium
I: Anterior greater trochanter
I: Superior gluteal n.
A: Abducts and medially rotates thigh; tilts pelvis while walking
Gluteus medius m: OIIA?
O: Outer ilium, below minimus’s origin
I: Anterior greater trochanter
I: Superior gluteal n.
A: Abducts and medially rotates thigh; tilts pelvis while walking
Quadratus femoris m: OIIA?
O: Ischial tuberosity
I: Quadrate tubercle of femur (below lesser trochanter)
I: Nerve to quadratus femoris
A: Lateral rotation, stabilizes hip
Gluteus maximus m: OIIA?
O: Ilium, sacrum, sacrotuberous ligament
I: Gluteal tuberosity, IT tract
I: Inferior gluteal n.
A: Extends and laterally rotates hip; aids in knee extension via iliotibial tract
(kicks in while ascending stairs)
What is Driver’s thigh?
Neuralgia caused by pressure on the gluteal nerves
Tensor fascia lata m: OIIA?
O: Iliac crest
I: Iliotibial tract (ant surface of lateral condyle of femur, crosses knee joint)
I: Superior gluteal n.
A: Tenses a lotta fascia, maintains knee extension (assists gluteus maximus), some thigh abduction
What nerve roots make up the sciatic n.
L4, L5, S1, S2, S3
What are some consequences of cutting the sciatic nerve?
- Everything below the knee is paralyzed
- Sensation lost on lateral leg and both sides of the foot
What quadrant of the butt should injections be made so as to avoid the sciatic nerve?
Superolateral quadrant
What nn. make up the sciatic n?
Common peroneal n. and tibial n.
