MMB [054] Clinical Anatomy of lower Limb Flashcards
Coxa Norma ?
• An increased femoral angle is called….
• a decreased femoral angle is called….
-coxa valga
-coxa vara.
Complications of abnormal femoral angles ?
Abnormal angles increase stress on the hip joint and affect gait due to length discrepancy between the 2 lower limbs
Define increases femoral anteversion
Complications of femoral anteversion ?
Commonest causes of Swelling in femoral triangle ?
The Iliopsoas tendon passes (posterior/anterior) to the inguinal ligament and (posterior/anterior) to the hip joint, inserting on the lesser trochanter.
Posterior , anterior
Cause of Psoas Abscess ?
How does the great and saphenous veins arise ?
And how do they end ?
Superficial veins of the lower limb ?
great and saphenous veins
A vein that accompanies the sural nerve ?
The Small (short) saphenous vein
A nerve that accompanies the Small (short) saphenous vein ?
The sural nerve
Drainage of the vertical group of the Superficial inguinal lymph nodes ?
Drainage of the lateral members of the horizontal group of the Superficial inguinal lymph nodes ?
The Gluteal region
Drainage of the medial members of the horizontal group of the Superficial inguinal lymph nodes ?
Perineum including ;
- the inferior vagina and
-the lower part of the anal canal and
- external genitalia EXCLUDING the glans penis in male.
Superficial inguinal lymph nodes ;
illustrate the lymphatic drainage of each group
illustrate the passage of efferent lymphatics from the superficial inguinal lymph nodes
explain
Point to the lesion and diagnose
What’s Perthes Disease ?
Define Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis
An X-ray image of the pelvis
demonstrating a slipped capital femoral
epiphysis on the left side , typical of slipped capital femoral epiphysis
Describe the sign u see and diagnose
Cause of Pott’s fracture ?
The injury is caused by a combined abduction external rotation from an eversion force.
Explain the chain of events in Pott’s fracture
The injury is caused by a combined abduction external rotation from an eversion force»_space; strains medial (deltoid) ligament of the ankle»_space; tearing off the medial malleolus (due to its strong attachment)
» The talus then moves laterally shearing off the lateral malleolus
• more commonly, breaking the fibula superior to the tibiofibular syndesmosis joint.
Define the Dermatome
Dermatome is the area of the skin developed from a single embryonic somite and is supplied by a single spinal nerve
