21
Q

What does the perforating cutaneous nerve innervate?

A

 Exits the pelvic cavity by piercing the sacrotuberous ligament
 Innervates skin over medial gluteus maximus

22
Q

What is the origin of the gluteus maximus?

A

Fascia covering gluteus Medius, posterior ilium, fascia of erector spinae, dorsal surface of sacrum, coccyx, sacrotuberous ligament

23
Q

What is the insertion of the gluteus maximus?

A

Posterior iliotibial tract and gluteal tuberosity

24
Q

What is the innervation and action of the gluteus maximus?

A

26
Q

What is the innervation and action of the gluteus medius and minimus?

A

A

Origin: Anterolateral wall of true pelvis, obturator membrane
Insertion: Greater trochanter

32
Q

What is the origin and insertion of the superior gemellus?

A

Origin: External surface of ischial spine
Insertion: Superior surface of obturator internus tendon and greater trochanter

33

36
Q

Action: Laterally rotate extended hip; abduct flexed femur

37
Q

What is the action and innervation of the superior gemellus?

40
Q

What is the Trendelenburg sign?

A

 Occurs in people with weak or paralyzed abductors
 When patient stands on one leg, the pelvis severely drops on the standing leg side
 Positive signs are seen in patients with superior gluteal nerve damage
 Patients with a positive sign, gait is abnormal. On the single leg stance phase of walking, weakened abductor muscles allow pelvis to tilt, patient compensates by tilting the trunk the other way to maintain level of the trunk during gait

41
Q

What are the sight of intramuscular injections?

A

o Inject into the upper outer quadrant to avoid sciatic nerve and superior gluteal vessels and nerve
o Inject into gluteus Medius anterosuperior to gluteus maximus

42
Q

What is the supply of the inferior gluteal artery?

A

Supplies surrounding muscles and descends into posterior thigh where it anastomoses with branches of femoral a.

43
Q

What is the origin of the inferior gluteal artery?

A

anterior trunk of internal iliac a.

44
Q

What is the origin of the superior gluteal artery?

A

Originates from posterior trunk of internal iliac a.

45
Q

What are the divisions of the superior gluteal artery?

A

Superficial branch- passes onto deep surface of gluteus maximus
Deep branch- passes between gluteus Medius and minimus

46
Q

Where do the deep lymphatic vessels drain?

A

into internal iliac nodes

47
Q

Where do the superficial lymphatic vessels drain?

A

into superficial inguinal nodes
