LE Flashcards
Knees Up Mother Brown Hip flexor innervation? Knee Extensor elevation?
Hip flexors - L2-L3 Knee Extensors L4
Heel Walking innervation?
L4-L5
Ankle dorsiflexion innervation?
L5
Great Toe extension innervation?
L5
Walk on toes/plantar flexion innervation?
S1
What is the ligament of the head of the femur?
Ligamentum teres Teres means round Proximal femur head –> acetabulum
If blood supply is disrupted to femur head what occurs?
Avascular necrosis of the femur head.
What happens to the distal fragments in the femoral neck fracture?
Fragments are acted upon by the muscles Strongest muscles determine movement of the distal fragments
Hip Fracture would appear in the leg how?
External rotation and foreshortening.
Compromise of what artery leads to avascular necrosis of the femoral head?
Medical circumflex artery.
Generally the anterior compartment of the thigh is innvervated by?
The femoral nerve
Generally the medial compartment of the thigh is innervated by? Adductors.
Obturator nerve
Generally the posterior compartment of the thigh is innervated by?
Sciatic nerve.
Sciatic nerve turns into what two nerves?
Common fibular nerve and the tibial nerve
Lateral compartment of the leg is generally innervated by?
CFN to superficial fibular nerve
Anterior compartment of the leg is generally innervated by?
CFN to deep fibular nerve
Generally the posterior compartment of the leg is innervated by?
Tibial nerve
SGT FOS?
Sartorius, gracillus, semitendinosus Femoral, obturator, Sciatic
Where do you want to inject in the ass?
Inject high and lateral - don’t want to hit the sciatic nerve.
What are the deep veins of the thigh?
Femoral and profunda femoris.
What are the superficial veins of the thigh?
Long saphenous, medial and superficial. Not deep.
Is the popliteal vein a deep vein?
Yes - in the distal thigh Long/greater saph and short/lesser saph are not deep veins.
What are the 6 biarticular muscles?
Sartorius - flexes hip and flexes knee Semitendinosus, Semimembranosus, and Biceps femoris - extend and flex knee. Rectus femoris - flexes hip and extends the knee Gastrocnemius - flexes knee and plantar flexes the ankle
Sartorius function?
Hip flexion and knee flexion
Semitendinosus, Semimembrenosus, and Biceps Femoris function?
Extend hip and flex the knee
Rectus femoris function?
Hip flexion, knee extension
Gastrocnemius function?
Knee flexion and plantar flexion of the ankle.
What are the contents of the popliteal fossa?
Popliteal artery, popliteal vein, tibial nerve. Common fibular nerve.
What are vulnerable structures in the knee?
Menisci - “shock absorbers”, “roller bearings” Medial and lateral collateral ligaments Cruciate ligaments Capsule-synovial joint.
