lower limb lessons from class Flashcards
popliteal fossa
common fib - lateral
tib - verticle
vein
artery (deepest - hard to palpate)
and a bursa in this area
from lateral to medial -
art, vein, tibial nerve
what unlocks knee joint?
popliteal
similar bursa - in arm
Baker’s Cyst?
cutital bursa (elbow)
if baker’s cyst gets infected - big problem - can infect joint
sural nerve - cutaneous, acoompanies what vein?
small saphenous - from tibial nerve
genicular arteries? 4 - to genuflect
all around knee - kneeling - praying
genicular arteries? 4 - “to genuflect”
all around knee - kneeling - praying
popteal pulse, disease common in
smokers
124 degree to take pulse
pop muscle runs lateral to medially - obliquely
sciatic nerve divides into?
common peroneal - divides super and deep
tibial - runs vertial -
all divides above knee
common peroneal wraps around neck of fib
sural nerve - cutaneous branch of tibial nerve - communicates w? provides some foot - runs down back of leg
fib nerve
small saphenous vein
blocking popliteal nerve?
if near knee - blocks sural too - for foot surgery -
or achilles tendon
corrective foot surgery
foot debridgement
typially blocks “terminal branches of sciatic nerve”
genicular anastamosis
around the joint
and a variety of other arteries work togther
anterior tibial
posterio tibial, etc
genicular anastamosis
around the knee joint
and a variety of other arteries work togther
anterior tibial
posterio tibial, etc
ankle joint
synovial hinge
A hinge joint is a common class of synovial joint that includes the ankle, elbow, and knee joints. Hinge joints are formed between two or more bones where the bones can only move along one axis to flex or extend.Jul 3, 2018
ankle joint?
synovial hinge
A hinge joint is a common class of synovial joint that includes the ankle, elbow, and knee joints. Hinge joints are formed between two or more bones where the bones can only move along one axis to flex or extend.
How many hinge joints are in the human body?
[3][4] The hinge joints of the body include the elbow, knee, interphalangeal (IP) joints of the hand and foot and the tibiotalar joint of the ankle.Apr 5, 2020
great saphenous vein?
runs all the way down medially leg to big toe
foot nerve
sural, deep, cutaneous peroneal and then saphenous
what surrounds a stocking on the leg?
deep fascia - two intermuscular septa in leg - and three in thigh
tibia separates which compartments of leg?
anterior and lateral
and then the septa separate the other two compartments
lateral compartment of leg?
2 muscles - have word “fibula in them”
tiny - everts foot -
posterior compartment is huge - with superficial and deep posterior compartments
muscle to big toe?
surprisingly in leg - runs from lateral side
flexor hallosus (big toe) longus
anterior compartment of leg
dorsiflexors of ankle - deep fibular n - “deep peroneal n”
invert foot at subtala joint
anterior tibial artery
tibial anterior
extensor hallucis (big toe)
extensor digitorum (most toes)
fibularis tertisu - 5th toe
on top of foot - interesting m - digitorum brevis
extends from big toe - to all of toes - nothing like this similar in hand
posterior compartment of leg
tibialis anterior
deep fibular nerve
extensor hallucis longus
extensor digitorum longus
anterior compartment pathologies?
foot drop
if m paralyzed, toe lifting is impossible
foot drop
can’t dorsiflex foot
if deep peroneal n damaged, if sciatic n damages - foot drop
steppage gait - need to raise foot very high - put toes down first
chroinc and exertional comparment syndrome CECS
repetitive exertion - deep fasica doesn’t allow m to expand - m gets compressed - burning - subsides w/in 15 min or rest - skiers, long distance runnerse, etc
other things that acn look like Cecs?
tibial and fib stress fracture
shin splints
popliteal artery aneurysm
findings
weak toe extension
pain on toe flexion
diminished sensation in first web
other things that acn look like Cecs?
tibial and fib stress fracture
shin splints
popliteal artery aneurysm
findings
weak toe extension
pain on toe flexion
diminished sensation in first web
deep fib nerve supplies web space and anterior compartment
anterior tibial artery?
in foot near big toe - can take a pulse here
n? deep cutaneous branch of peroneal N
common fibular nerve injury?
anterior and later compartment can’t work
foot drop - steppage gait
loss of eversion of foot and dorsiflexion of the ankle causes foot-drop
lateral compartment - 2 muscles
evert goot, innervated by superficial fib n,
fib artery
fibularis longus,
fibularis brevis
superficial fib nerve supplies what part of top of foot?
almost ALL - except sural lateral, web -deep, medial - saphenous
shin splits? tibia
inflammation of bone - bone can get remodeled, fractures, athletes - can be in front or behind
caused from excessive pulling of muscles where attached to bone.
posterior compartment - two groups
plantar flexion of ankle -
tibial n,
TIP TOES -
two arteries
posterior tibial artery and fibular artery
can invert foot
posterior tibial arter y - divides fro other artery at bottom of popliteal
soleus - easy to get a thrombus here - and die
so let’s keep an eye on that one
The soleus connects the bottom of the knee to the heel. A strain, which is strained stretch or tear to to a muscle or tendon, to the soleus is caused by strenuous exercise and improper body alignment. Pain is felt on the side of the calf after activity.
gastrocnemius m?
two joint muscle - helps walking - in posterior - pulls heel up
must be near achilles tendon?
superficial - soleus below
plantaris m
VERY long tendon - back of knee - all way down to calcaneal tendon -
popliteus
unlocks knee joint, runs behind knee from lateral to media
flexor digitorum longun
down medially leg, wraps under foot - and then to toes
tibialis posterior
deepest muscle - down leg
talus?
only bone that has no attachment to m
achilles tendon
running on hills, repetitive stress - avasular tendon
Great saphenous vein?
Great Toe - with saphenous n
flexor retinaculum
site for palplation of posterio tibial artery
lateral malleolus? fibula?
medial malleolus - both on tibia?
Number of tarsal bones?
7 tiger cubs need MILC
valgus, varus?
varus (Inward)
Whenever the distal part is more lateral, it is called valgus. Whenever the distal part is more medial, it is called varus.
forefoot varus more common - varus - medial border is raised - excessive pronation
congential clubfoot?
insufficient amniotic fluid - envionmental causes
plastarflexion equinus and INVERTED (varus)
hindfood, forfoot is inverted -
tendon of tibialis anterior?
sends tendons out to all metatarslas?
arches of foot? 3
transverse -
medial
lateral
medial (inner) _ high point is calcaneous HIGHEST
calcaneus, talus, navicular, etc
Ligaments: Spring ligament (plantar calcaneo navicular lig) and
plantar fascia
Tendons tibilis posterior, tibialis anterior, fibularis longus
LATERAL (outer) - high point is cuboid
Lig: long plantar, plantar fascia, plantar calcaneocurboid
Tendons - extensors of 5 digit
absorbs shocks, distributes weight
place for neurovascular things to be
Spring lig - plantar calcaneo navicular lig
supports talus -
long plantar lig - - more superficial than short plantar (plantar calcaneo cuboid lig)
running across transversely -
Tendonius longus
pes cavus, pex planus
high arch (inversion - burns, residual clubfoot, compartment syndrome)
, flat food
pes cavus, pex planus
high arch (inversion - burns, residual clubfoot, compartment syndrome)
excessive supination
flat food
pes cavus (cave), pex planus
high arch (inversion - burns, residual clubfoot, compartment syndrome)
excessive supination
flat food
retinaculum of foot 4 in foot
vs in hand (wrist)
deep fascia - protect
flexor - from heel to medial malleolus
fibular - superior and inferior (from heel to fib)
superior extensor
inferior extensor - two bands like a y running medially
retinaculum of foot 4 in foot
vs in hand (wrist)
deep fascia - protect - contain fluid - synovial sheaths
flexor - from heel to medial malleolus
fibular - superior and inferior (from heel to fib)
superior extensor
inferior extensor - two bands like a y running medially
deep fascia - sole of foot
plantar aponeurosis - from calcaneum - widens w/ 5 slips = to each digit
superficial to nerves, blood vessels and M
supports arches
