MSK Flashcards
ACL PCL attachment
Fibula marks lateral
PCL attaches medial femoral condole to post tibia
ACL attaches lateral femoral coddle to Ant intercondylar tibia
Trendelenberg gait
2o giving IM injections superiomedially
Injuring superior gluteal L4-S1
In post hip dislocation which structure is vulnerable
Sciatic nerve
Symptom:- fall in elderly or after car accident. Leg will be held in flexion, adduction, internal rotation and will be shorter
Rigor mortis cellular cause
Failure of myosin head to detach from actin filament results in diffuse muscle stiffening
Actin myosin cross bridge formation that cannot dissolve without ATP
Calcium binding to tropomysin facilitating cross bridge formation
Fracture at pterion which artery is vulnerable
Pterion is region where frontal, parietal, temporal and sphenoid bones meet.
Middle meningeal artery branch ion the maxillary artery ( which is a terminal branch of the ext carotid artery) is at risk
