Leg 1 Flashcards
Pathway of tendons in posterior and lateral compartments of leg
tendons of insertion pass posterior relative to malleoli
actions of posterior and lateral compartments of the leg
plantar flexion
pathway of tendons in anterior compartment of leg
tendons of insertion pass anterior relative to malleoli
actions of anterior compartment of leg
dorsiflexion
action of posterior compartment
flexion –> knee, digits, plantar flexion, inversion (TP)
action of lateral compartment
weak plantar flexion
eversion
action of anterior compartment
-extension
- dorsi-flexion
- inversion (TA)
parts of posterior compartment
- Deep
- Superficial
branches of sciatic nerve
- common fibular
- tibial
branches of common fibular nerve
- superficial
- Deep
what does superficial and deep branch of common fibular nerve innervate
superficial –> lateral compartment of leg
Deep –> anterior compartment of leg
what does tibial nerve innervate
posterior compartment of leg
traveling partner of tibial nerve
posterior tibial artery
femoral artery “path”
femoral art –> popliteal art –> anterior fibular art –> fibular art –> posterior tibial art
nerves innervating/supplying posterior compartment of thigh
- tibial nerve
- posterior tibial artery
- fibular artery
innervation/supply of anterior compartment of leg
- anterior tibial artery
- deep branch of common fibular nerve
traveling partners in anterior compartment of leg
anterior tibial artet
- deep branch common fibular nerve
neuro vasculature of lateral compartment of leg
perforating branches –> fibular artery, anterior tibial artery
- superficial branch of common fibular
