May31 M3-Anatomy LL 2 Flashcards
landmarks on femur other than those near the hip
- gluteal tuberosity (post, below intertroch crest)
- shaft of the femur
- linea aspera (a rough line posteriorly, below glut tuberosity)
- adductor tubercle (bump in back of lower femur, medially
distal femur name of the parts
- medial and lateral epicondyles = bumps in bottom
- medial and lateral condyles = articular surfaces
landmarks on the fibula
- head
- neck
- shaft
name of joint tibia - fibula
tibiofibular joint
landmarks on tibia
- tibial tuberosity (anterior)
- soleal line (posterior. goes medial distal to lateral proximal. so towards head of fibula)
structure separating tibia and fibula
interosseus membrane. has 2 holes one on top and one on bottom
how to do lateral (external) and medial (internal) rotation of the leg (knee)
- flex knee 90 degrees and move foot outwards (but no eversion, inversion)
- this rotates the leg
valgus deformity is what
- knees bend outwards (tibia bent outwards)
- bow legs
varus deformity is what
- knees bend inwards
- knock knees
genu recurvatum is what
hyperextension of the knees in the back due to either of
- hamstring weakness or injury
- non-inflammatory CT diseases (Marfan, Ehlers-Danlos)
hamstrings medially to laterally in the back
- semimembranosus
- semitendinosus
- biceps femoris (long head covering short head. short head is deeper)
true hamstrings
- semimembranosus
- semitendinosus
- long head of biceps femoris
semimembranosus O, I, F, N
- O: ischial tuberosity
- I: upper tibia (posteromedially)
- F: extend hip, flex knee. + medial rotation of tibia
- N: tibial n.
semitendinosus O, I, F, N
- O: ischial tuberosity
- I: pes anserinus (upper tibia anteromedially)
- F: extend hip, flex knee. + medial rotation of tibia
- N: tibial n.
long head of biceps femoris O, I, F, N
- O: ischial tuberosity
- I: head of fibula
- F: extend hip, flex knee
- N: tibial n.
short head of biceps femoris O, I, F, N
- O: posterior surface of shaft of the femur
- I: head of fibula
- F: flex the knee only
- N: common fibular n.
functions of hamstrings in the gait cycle
- extension of hip on stance leg during reversal of fore-aft shear (to swing the swing leg forward)
- flexion of the knee on swing leg during toe-off and foot clearance phases (end of stance and beginning of swing)
nerves to the thigh
- back: sciatic splits in tibial n. (medial) and common fibular n. (lateral)
- back: posterior cutaneous n. emerges medial to sciatic n.
- front: obturator n. (L2,3,4) comes on medial side
- femoral n. (L2,3,4) comes in middle of anterior thigh
other name for common fibular n.
common peroneal n. (peroné = old name for fibula)
other muscle that the tibial n. innervates in the back of the leg
adductor magnus hamstring portion
adductor magnus hamstring portion O, I, N and F
- O: ischial tuberosity
- I: adductor tubercle (near where semimebranosus inserts bc is bottom of femur posteromedially)
- N: tibial n.
- F: extend the hip
variations in sciatic n. exiting near piriformis
- pass through piriformis instead of below
- pass above piriformis instead of below
- note: post cut nerve of the thigh is always below piriformis medial to scaitic n.
blood supply to the thigh until femoral a.
- aorta gives 2 common iliacs
- common iliac makes external iliac and internal iliac a.
- internal iliac a. gives sup and inf gluteal a.
- external iliac a. becomes femoral a. below inguinal ligament
blood supply to the thigh after femoral a.
- femoral a. gives a deep femoral a. laterally
- femoral a. gives medial and lateral circumflex femoral aa. medially and laterlaly
- deep femoral a. gives 4 arteries called perforating aa. that go to the posterior thigh by piercing through adductor magnus adductor portion
what supplies blood to the hamstring
perforating arteries
adductor magnus two portion and position relative to each other
-adductor magnus adductor portion is lateral
-adductor magnus hamstring portion is medial
(but whole muscle is very medial)
adductor hiatus is what
hole created by separation of adductor magnus portions, and adductor magnus hamstring portion sending a tendon to the adductor tubercle
