Review the Cutaneous Nerves!
Mark this yellow so you see it often!
Good work, soldier.
What branch of the Sciatic Nerve pierces the piriformis in 12% of the population?
Common Fibular Branch
What are the Femoral Nerve Entrapment sites?
Beneath Iliopsoas tendon
Inguinal Ligaments
Femoral Triangle
Adductor Canal
What is the cause and presentation of Superior Gluteal Nerve Entrapment?
Piriformis compresses it
Waddling Gait, Tender to palpation, Achy-type claudication buttock pain
How do you stretch the piriformis with the hip in a flexed position?
Hip adduction
(opposite of the muscle action)
How do you stretch the piriformis with the hip in an extended position
Medial Rotation
(opposite of the muscle action)
What is structure 1 and 2?
- Iliohypogastric region
- Ilioinguinal nerve
What is the parent structure of the Saphenous Nerve?
Femoral Nerve
What is the parent structure of the dorsal digital nerve?
Deep fibular nerve
What is the parent structure of the Lateral Cutaneous Nerve of the foot
Sural Nerve
What is structure 4?
Fibularis brevis
What are common causes of obturator nerve entrapment
Anterior hip dislocation
Prostate surgery
Presentation: Decreased sensation on medial thigh, difficulty adducting thigh
Common fibular nerve injury often causes
Foot Drop
Note: It’s the most commonly injured nerve in the lower limb.
Which branch of the fibular nerve is NOT involved in foot drop
Superficial branch of fibular nerve
A patient presents with altered gait and lack of sensation in this region, what is effected?
Common fibular nerve or deep fibular nerve
What are the symptoms of deep fibular nerve entrapment?
Pain radiates between webspace of 1st and 2nd toes.
Note: Commonly caused by tight fitting shoes “ski boot syndrome” or in soccer players.
A patient has pain here, history of chronic ankle sprains. Now they’re also experiencing numbness, what nerve is entrapped?
Superficial fibular nerve/ Superficial Peroneal nerve
What are the nerve roots of the Pundendal nerve
S2 S4 keep poopoopeepee in your butt
Where are potential sites of Pudendal nerve entrapment
Between the Sacrospinous and Sacrotuberous ligament
Sural nerve is always (medial/lateral)
Saphinous nerve is always (medial/lateral)
Sural- Lateral
Saphinous- Medial
A patient has achy neuropathic pain over the red region, pain is provoked by ankle DF and inversion
what nerve is entrapped
Sural Nerve Entrapment
Baxters Neuropathy/Joggersfoot causes pain on what part of the foot
Medial sole and Navicular Tuberosity
It’s also called Medial Plantar Nerve Entrapment
What 4 joints participate in pronation and supination
Talocrual
Subtalar
Transtarsal
Tarsometatarsal
Pronation naturally happens when?
Normal rotating the front of the foot laterally
Happens when walking when placing your initial weight on the foot
Medial Arch Lowers!
Supination naturally happens when?
Normal rotating the front of the foot medially
Normally happens when the trail leg behind your body gets ready to swing foward
MEDIAL ARCH RISES!
A high ankle sprain is usually caused by
External Rotation and dorsiflexion
Note: “Syndesmotic injury of the tibiofibular syndesmosis, interosseus membrane and the anterior tibiofibular ligament)
What is this toe deformity and what is it caused by?
Hammer Toe
Wearing short narrow shoes
What is this toe deformity and what causes it?
Claw Toe
Caused by problem with lateral plantar nerve
What is this toe deformity and what causes it?
Mallet Toe
Arthritis, Trauma, neuromuscular or metabolic disease
What are the attachments of the quadratus plantae
Medial and lateral margin of plantar surface of calcaneous
Posterolateral margins of the tendon of FDL
What is the innervation of the Quadratus Plantae
Lateral Plantar Nerve S1 S2 S3
What is the action of the Quadratus Plantae
Assists FDL in flexing the lateral 4 digits at the MTP and IP joints
What are the attachments of Lumbricals
Tendons of FDL
Medial aspect of expansion over lateral 4 digits
