what is adductor hiatus made out of and where is it located
between the two parts of the abductor magnus
oppening above adductor tubercle and margin of teh femur
what runs through the adductor hiatus to the popliteal fossa
femoral artery
femoral vein
termination of post div of obbturator nerve
what are the branches of the obturator nerve in pelvic rim
vascular branch
periosteal branches
branch to obturator externus
path of post div of obturator nerve
Perforates thru obturator externus and descends on ant portion of adductor magnus and post to brevus and runs thru popliteal fossa
4 things post div of obturator nerve supplies
- obturator ex
- add magnus (adductor part)
- adductor brevis
- knee joint post
path of ant div of obturator nerve
superficial to obturator externus, deep to pectineus runs superficial to brevis then perforates kin
6 things ant div of obturator nerve supplies
- Articular branch to hip j
- Pectineus
- gracilis
- adductor brevis
- adductor longus
- middle 1/3 of medial thigh
path of deep artery of thigh
superficial to brevis and magnus.
branches of deep artery of thigh
lateral circumflex femoral
medial circumflex femoral
4 perforating branches toward the hamstring
1. @ level of adduct brevis
2. @ lvl of adduct brrevis
3/4 Thru adductor magnus
branches of lat circumflex femoral artery
descending
transverse
ascending
Branches of med cirumflex femoral artery
acetabular branch (supplies head of femur)
Transverse branch
Ascending branch
what two branches supply head of femur
acetabular branch of medial circumflex
acetabular branch of obturator
what is the retinacular subsynobial artery
lateral and medial branches asceding arteries that supply the neck of the femur
what can an obturator hernia cause
