Knee & Thigh Flashcards
femorotibial joint is a blank joint
synovial hinge
most pull on patella is blank which causes blank
lateral, patellar femoral
most stable position of tibiofemoral joint
extended w/ femur slightly IR
patella is the largest blank bone in the body
sesamoid
there are blank facets on the patella
7
bursa that is an extension of the joint cavity
suprapatellar
bursa between patella and skin and may cause housemaids knee
prepatellar
extra capsular ligaments function to strengthen fibrous blank
joint capsule
two things that stabilize anterior knee
patellar lig, quad tendon, patellar retinacula
innervates the patellar refelx
L2-L4
posterior stabilization of capsule is thanks to these two things
oblique popliteal lig, arcuate popliteal lig
posterior stabilizers of knee capsule resists blank
hyperextension
oblique popliteal lig is derived from blank tendon
semimembranosus
arcuate popliteal lig is derived from blank tendon
biceps femoris
broad and thick ligament that resists valgus and taut in knee extension…. attaches to the blank
tibial collateral lig MCL, medial meniscus
does the lcl attach to the laterall meniscus
no
lcl is taut with full blank and blank
extension/IR
lcl resists blank
varus
vein on the medial part of the whole leg
great saphenous
vein on the posterior and lateral portion of leg
small saphenous
these can become dangerous and are like blood clots but can end up in lungs
deep vein thrombosis
it band is actually blank
thickened fascia lata
fascia covering butt
gluteal fascia
opening in the fascia lata near groin
saphenous opening
borders of femoral triangle
inguinal ligament, adductor longus, sartorius
floor of femoral triangle
pectineus, iliopsoas
contents of femoral triangle (NAVEL)
femoral Nerve, femoral Artery, femoral Vein, Empty space lymphatics, inguinal Lymphatics
femoral sheath is a continuation of the fascia of the blank
abdominal
femoral blank is not in femoral sheath
nerve
3 compartments of femoral sheath
lateral, intermediate, medial
medial compartement of femoral sheath is aka
femoral canal
ligament running from ASIS to pubic tubercle
inguinal
where a person can herniate
femoral ring
medial border of femoral ring
lacunar lig
posterior border of femoral ring
pectineal lig
only quad that can flex hip
rectus femoris
muscles of anterior compartment
sartorius, pectineus, quads, iliopsoas, tensor fascia lata
medial compartment muscles of thigh
gracilis, adductor longus, brevis, magnus, obturator externus
pulled groin is tearing of the blank attachment of the adductors
proximal
four structures that enter adductor canal
femoral artery, femoral vein, nerve to vastus medialis, saphenous nerve
four structures that exit the adductor canal
femoral artery, femoral vein
main blood supply to head and neck of femur
medial circumflex femoral artery
