Gluteus and Posterior Thigh Flashcards
Which way does the lower extremity rotate during development?
medially
Which nerves innervate lower extremity?
lumbar and sacral plexus
What is the blood supply of the lower extremity?
mostly femoral artery
obturator a and gluteal vessels also help
Where do femoral hernias occur?
femoral triangle where femolral nerves and vessels live
What innerveates the gluteal region?
lumbosacral plexus
what is the blood supply of gluteal?
superior and inferior gluteal artery
What does the sciatic nerve become>?
L4-S3
1 tibial nerve = preaxial
2 common peroneal nerve = postaxial
What does posterior femoral cutaneous n become?
S1-S3
1 cluneal n to butt
2 perineal br to perineum
What does superior gluteal n go?
L4-S1
glut med
glut mini
tensor fascia lata
what does inferior gluteal n do?
L5-S2
gluteaus maximum
Where does n to obturator internus and superior gemellus come from?
L5, S1-2
Where does n to quadratus femoris and inferior gemellus come from?
L4, L5, S1
What does superior gluteal artery supply?
branch of internal iliac
superficial division to glut max
deep division to glut med and mini
what does inferior gluteal supply?
musucalr
cutaneous
coccygeal
sciatic
What is the thickening of fascia on obturator internus?
pudendal canal (alcocks)
What is the route of pudendal n and internal pudendal a?
leave pelvis through greater sciatic foramen
loop over sacrospinous ligament
enter perineum through lesser sciatic foramen
What do glut med and glut min do?
both abduct and med rotate
nerve = superior gluteal
What divides superior vs inferior gluteal?
above or below piriformis m
What dividies greater and lesser sciatic foramen?
sacrospinous ligment
what sits on the piriformis muscle?
sacral plexus branches
What causes sciatica?
prolapse of disk at L4-5
results in pain
what happens if the sciatic nerve is cut?
everything below knee is paralyzed and sensation is lost on lateral leg and both sides of foot
injections in butt should onky be made in superolateral quadrant
What is the thick fascial band that crosses the lateral knee?
iliotibial band
tensor facia lata helps to extend knee
