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
