Leg: Locations (Part 2) Flashcards
S-31
Location:
On the anterior side of the thigh and on the line connecting the anterosuperior iliac spine and the superiolateral corner of the patella, on the level of the perineum when the thigh is fixed, in the depression lateral to the sartorius muscle.
S-32
Location:
On the line connecting the anterior superior iliac spine and the lateral border of the patella, 6 cun above the laterosuperior border of the patella.
S-33
Location:
When the knee is flexed, the point is 3 cun above the laterosuperior border of the patella, on the line joining the laterosuperior border of the patella and the anterior
superior iliac spine.
G-30
Location:
At the junction of the lateral 1/3 and medial 2/3 of the distance between the prominence of the great trochanter and the hiatus of the sacrum (Du-2). When locating the point, put the patient in lateral recumbent position with the thigh flexed.
G-31
Location:
On the midline of the lateral aspect of the thigh, 7 cun above the transverse popliteal crease. When the patient is standing erect with the hands close to the sides, the point is where the tip of the middle finger touches.
G-32
Location:
On the lateral aspect of the thigh, 2 cun below G-31, or 5 cun above the transverse popliteal crease, between m. vastus lateralis and m. biceps femoris.
B-36
Location:
On the posterior side of the thigh, at the midpoint of the inferior gluteal crease.
SP-12
Location:
Superior to the lateral end of the inguinal groove, lateral to the pulsating external iliac artery, at the level of the upper border of symphysis pubis, 3.5 cun lateral to Ren-2.
SP-11
Location:
6 cun above SP-10, on the line drawn from SP-10 to SP-12.
Liv-12
Location:
Lateral to the pubic tubercle, lateral and inferior to S-30, in the inguinal groove where the pulsation of the femoral artery is palpable, 2.5 cun lateral to the anterior midline.
Liv-11
Location:
2 cun directly below S-30, at the proximal end of the thigh, below the pubic tubercle and on the lateral border of m. abductor longus.
Liv-10
Location:
3 cun directly below S-30, at the proximal end of the thigh, below the pubic tubercle and on the lateral border of m. abductor longus.
S-37
Location:
6 cun below S-35 and one finger-breadth (middle finger) from the anterior border of the tibia.
S-39
Location:
9 cun below S-35 and one finger-breadth (middle finger) from the anterior border of the tibia.
S-42
Location:
On the dome of the instep of the foot, between the tendons of long extensor muscle of the great toe and long extensor muscle of toes, where the pulsation of the dorsal artery of the foot is palpable.
