Lower Limb Flashcards
What factors provide hip stability?
Bones
Muscles
Ligaments
What is the hip joint called?
acetabulum
Why is synovial joint prone to arthritis?
as they are weight bearing
which muscles provide the stability of the hip flexion ?
Psoas major
illacus
Which muscles provide the stability of the hip extension?
Gluteus Maximus
What do you see on Neck of Femur Fracture ?
The limb would be externally rotated
Positive sign of Trendelen burg’s test caused by?
Weakness of abductor muscles Gluteus medius and minimus muscles
What are the 3 muscles that hold posteriorly to keep the hip stable?
Gluteus Medius
Gluteus Maximus
What is the main blood supply for the femoral head?
Femoral artery
What happens if there is no blood supply to the femoral head?
Avascular Neckrosis
Types of fracture in the hip ?
Intracapsular
Extracapsular
What imaging is requested for NOF?
MRI
What are the types of dislocations
Posterior
Anterior
Central
What are the common hip dislocation
Posterior
Which nerve is affected during the hip dislocation?
Axillary
Mid shaft femur
When there is a break in the bones of the femur
How is fibula fracture presented?
Distal end
risk of fracture-dislocation in the ankle joints
What is Gastrocnemius ?
Posterior Large muscles of the calf (Femoral)
what is supracondylor femur fracture?
Break in the femur at the knee joint (affects the popliteal artery)
Achillies tendon bursa
reduces the flexion and extension of ankle
What happens in Achilles tendon?
inflammation happens after a excessive movement of Achilles tendon
When does Achilles tendon get to rupture?
Quick start sports
sudden pain in posterior calf
difficult to bear the weight
What are the main Arteries of the LL ?
Femoral
Popliteal
Posterior tibial
Dorsalis Pedis
Femoral artery
Deep thigh muscle artery
superficial in the rest of the leg
this is where we check for the femoral pulse
