Lecture 4: Lower Limb Pt. 1 Hip/Gluteal Thigh Flashcards
Femoral Triangle Borders (3)
- superior: inguinal ligament
- Lateral: medial border of the sartorius
- Medial: medial border of adductor longus muscle
Femoral Triangle
wedge shaped area located within superiomedial aspect of the anterior thigh that acts as a channel for structures entering and leaving anterior thigh
Contents of Femoral Triangle (5)
NAVEL (pneumonic device)
- femoral Nerve
- femoral Artery
- femoral Vein
- Empty space- for veins and lymph vessels to distend to accommodate different levels of flow
- Lymph nodes
- nerve and vessles pass beneath inguinal ligament and gain access to anterior thigh + femoral sheath of fascile sleeve
- femoral canal and ring are weak point and site for femoral hernias
Femoral Sheath
fascial sleeve within femoral triangle
Femoral hernias occur where?
femoral canal and ring are weak site
Femoral Hernia
definition
clinical manifestation
treat
Hernia: part of an organ is displaced and protruding through the wall of the cavity containing it
Femoral Hernia: part of bowel pushes into femoral canal underneath inguinal ligament
- clinically presents as lump or buldge in femoral triangle
- req. sx intervention to treat
Bones of the Thigh (6)
- Sacrum
- coccycx
- Ilium
- Ischium
- Pubis
- femur
Sacrum
large bone located at end of vertebral comumn and forms posterior aspect of pelvis
Coccyx
terminal part of vertebral columns, compromized of 4 vertebra which fuse to produce traingular shape
Ilium
widest and largest bone, superior
anterior iliac spine ASIS: true leg lenth is measures from ASIS to medial mallelolus
Pubis
most anterior portion of pevlic girdle
femur
only bone in the thigh, longest bone in body
Bones of the Hip (3)
**note
- Ilium : upper margin characterized by iliac crest
- lateral surface exhibits 3 gluteal lines for attachment of gluteal muscles - Ischium contributes to acetabulum and forms the ischial spine and ischial tuberosity
- ischial tuberosity-= sits bone - Pubis- formes anterior and medial aspects of each hip bone
- forms “c” upper limb being the superior pubic ramus and lower limb being inferior pubic ramus
*all three contribute to site of articulation with the femoral head
Hip Joint and Ligaments (3)
type joint
3 ligaments involved
*ball and socket
-ball=head of femur
-socket=acetabulum of hip
~~both covered in articular cartilege
- Iliofemoral ligament
- pubofemoral ligament
- Ischiofemoral ligament
Ilio femoral ligament
shape
location
purpose
Y-shaped
spans from anterior inferior iliac spine to intertrochanteric line
prevents hyperestension of hip joint
*anterior
Pubofemoral ligament
location
purpose
spans from inferior pubic ramus to blend with capsule of the hip joint
prevents excessive abduction of joint
*medial
Ischiofemoral ligament
arises from acetabular rim poertiorly and attaches laterally to greater trochanter
*posterior
ROM of hip (6) and the muscles that cause the movement ** (starred slide)
- Flexion
- Extension
- Abduction
- Adduction
- External Rotation
- internal rotation
Congenital/developmental hip dislocation
special pop.
how does this occur?
2 tests/what they do
10 in 10,000 infants born with developmental dislocation
girls > boys
when acetabulum is shallow as result or failure to fevelop properly in utero
ortolani’s test of hib adbcution confirms dx
barlow pops hip out
early detection lead to 96% children gaining normal hip function
Brusitis - three main
2 types
treatments of each type
- sciatic
- trochanteric **most common cause hip pain, causes tenderness on the outer hip
- iliopectineal
tx: ice, medicaion for inflammation and pain
tensor fascia latae
I
2 movements
inserts on iliotibial tract, attached to lateral condyle of tibia
internal rotation, abduction
Iliopsoas (2)
Origin
movement
1) psoas major- originates from T12-L4 -> medial, inner aspect of femur
2) Iliacus- originates form iliac fossa and blends with tendon of psoas major -> medial, inner aspect femur
flexion of hip
Hamstring (3 muscles)
- semitendinosis
- Biceps femoris
- Semimebranosis
Quadriceps femoris (4 musces)
- Rectus femoris
- Vastus lateralis
- Vastus Medialis
- Vastus intermedius
* all quadricep muscles unite at quadriceps tendon, which attaches to the patella
