Introduction to the Lower Limb, Gluteal Region, and Hip Joint Flashcards

1
Q

Describe developmental rotation of upper and lower limbs

A

Upper limb: supinates, so anterior muscles are flexors. elbow points posteriorly
Lower limb: pronates, so anterior muscle are extensors (due to joint placement).

Q

What is the blood supply for the knee?

A

popliteal

17
Q

What is the blood supply for the leg?

A

Anterior and posterior tibial

18
Q

What is the blood supply for the foot?

A

plantar archers

19
Q

What are the two major veins of the lower limb?

A
  1. Greater saphenous (runs in anterior thigh area)

2. Lesser saphenous (runs in posterior leg area)

20
Q

What is a deep vein thrombosis, and why is it so lethal? How would you prevent thrombose formaition?

A

Condition resulting from formation of blood clot thrombus i deep vein. Prevent thrombose formation nby inserting IVC filter

21
Q

Where are the main lympatic drainages of the lower limb?

A
  1. Superficial inguinal
  2. Popliteal
  3. Deep inguinal nodes drain to external iliac nodes
22
Q

Where is center of gravity in the human body?

A

In front of S2

23
Q

What is the biggest extensor at the hip?

A

Glutes

24
Q

What ligament connect so the anterior superior ileac spine?

A

inguninum ligament

25
Q

What level of the vertebral column marks the ileac crest?

A

L4

26
Q

What bone connects to the acetabulum?

A

Head of the femur

27
Q

List all of the pelvic ligaments

A
  1. Sacrospinous
  2. Sacrotuberous
  3. Lesser sciatic foramen
  4. greater sciatic foramen
  5. Obturator membrane
    * Sacroiliac ligament: connect sacrum to anterior inferior iliac spine*
28
Q

What runs through intertubercular groove?

A

Long head of the bicep

29
Q

What are the hip abductors and medial rotators of the thigh? What nerve?

A

Glutius maximus, medius, and minimus + tensor fascia latae. operating off of superior gluteal nerve

30
Q

What are the medial rotators of the thigh?

A

GLuteus maximus, piriformis, gemellus superior, obturator, and gemellus inferior, and quadratus femoris

31
Q

What is the major hip extensor? What nerve?

A

Gluteus maximus, innervated by the INFERIOR gluteal nerve. Note that it is the most powerful hip extensor. Gets you out of chairs

32
Q

What are the different variations to the sciatic nerve?

A
  1. United tibial and common fibular nerves stream inferior to piriformis.
  2. Tibial and common fibular divide. Common Fibular goes THROUGH piriformis (can be compressed. not good) or above the piriformis (danger is that the common fibular nerve could be hit during intergluteal injection)
33
Q

Describe components of hip joint

A

Joint capsule and labrum keep socket in place. It’s a synovial joint, but it’s deeper than that of the glenohumeral

34
Q

What are the 4 hip ligaments? What is their job?

A
  1. Iliofemoral
  2. Ischiofemoral
  3. Pubofemoral
  4. Round ligament of femur (ligamentum teres of the femur) (useless ligament)
    Their job is to resist hip EXTENSION
35
Q

Blood supply to the hip joint/head and neck of femor? Movements at the hip? What could go wrong at the hip?

A

Median circumflex femoral artery.
Movements of the hip = extension and flexion
Problems include: dislocation (normally congenital….2/3 of first born females or 8-90% of first born females…breech in delivery or family history. May evene be due to Ligamentous Laxity
and or Acetabular Dysplasia, …but can be traumatic like a car accident. usually in the left leg.), fracture (mainly in postmenopausal women), and osteoarthritis

36
Q

How to spot a congenital hip dislocation? A car accident hip location?

A

Leg will be shorter than the nondislocated one. Also note that you cannot abduct a dislocated leg. In the case of an accident, femor will be dislocated aneriorly in the case of a front end and posteriorly in the case of a rear end accident

37
Q

What are likely causes of hip fracture? Who is usually effected?

A
  1. Trauma resulting from fall
  2. Fracture results in the fall
    Normally effects 65+ yr old women
38
Q

What is osteoarthritis? How will you know from looking at an x-ray? Options for treatment?

A

When articular cartilage gets warn down. No nerve endings on the articular cartilage, so you won’t feel the pain from there. However, once cartilage wears down, the free nerve endings are in contact and you will feel this and notice a limited range of motion. Osteoarthritis x-rays will be radio opaque (dumb white) in areas where there should be a gap representing the synovial joint. Treatment = total hip replacement (plastic socket + metal/ceramic ball, 20-40 yr lifespan) or hip resurfacing (never fails.)
