Leg Flashcards
ant compartemnt job
dorsiflex foot n toes
innervation
ant compartmet- deep perineal/fibular
lateral-superficial peroneal/fibular
psoterior- tibial nerve
lat compartment job
everters/abductors of foot
posterior compartment job
plantar flex foot n toes
arches of the foot
anterior transverse arch
medial longitudinal arch
lateral longitudial arch
dorsalis pedis artery
lateral to extensor hallucis longus
bw extensor hallucis longus and extensor hallucis brevis
tarsal tunnel
- Tom- tibialis posterior tendon
- Dick- flexor digitorium longus
- And-posterior tibial artery
- Very-venae commitantes
- Naughty- posteiro tibial nerve
- Harry- flexor hallicus longus
hammer toe
up down like hat
o superficial fibular (peroneal) nerve
responsible for eversion of foot
o deep fibular (peroneal) nerve
responsible for dorsiflexion of foot at ankle and extensors of toes
Tibial nerve
resp for plantarfelxion of foot at ankle and flexors of toes + inversion of foot
great saphenous vein
originates from medial side of dorsal venous arch
ascends anterior to medial malleolus
then posterior to medial epicondyle of femur
then through saphenous opening
into femoral vein
often used in surgeries as graft
saphenous nerve
down medial side of leg
comes from femoral nerve
