2 muscle groups gluteal region?
Superifcial muscle group
* Gluteus maximum, medius + minumus
* Tensor fascia late
Deep muscle group
* Piriformis
* Obturator internus
* Gemelli (superior + inferior - gemelli means twins)
* Quadratus femoris
Fucntion of superficial muscles of gluteal region? WHat are they innervated by?
Extensors, abductors and medial rotators of thigh
* Innervated by gluteal nerves
* Gluteus maximum = inferior gluteal
* All others = superior gluteal
Reduced function of superior gluteal nerve leads to?
Trendelenburg’s gait - hip will drop on contralateral side (weak hip abduction by gluteus medius)
…
Function of deep muscle group of gluteal region? Innervated by?
Lateral rotators of thigh and hip stabilisers
* Innervated by sacral plexus
…
Hip joint called? What kind of joint is it? (2)
Acetabulo-femoral joint
* Ball + socket = flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, medial-lateral rotation, circumduction
* Synovial joint = external fibruous layer (spiral ligaments) + internal membranous layer
…
Ligaments of the gluteal region?
…
Primary blood supply to head of femur?
Medial circumflex femoral artery
…
Arteries damaged in femoral neck fractures?
Retinacular arteries
Knee joint? Movement? (2)
Modified synovial hinge joint
* Main movement = flexion/extension
* Slight rotation
fibula is lateral
articulations of knee joint?
3 articulations
* 2 x tibiofemoral (medial + lateral)
* 1 x patellofemoral
Ligaments of knee joint? (2)
Extracapsular (outside joint capsule)
* Patellar ligament
* Lateral (fibular) collateral ligament
* Medial (tibial) collateral ligament
Intra-articular (in joint capsule)
* Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
* Posterior cruciate (PCL)
…
Menisci of the knee joint?
Crescent-shaped fibrocartilage (medial + lateral)
How to test joint integrity of the knee? (2)
* Aterior drawer test - ACL
* Posterior drawer test - PCL
Why is lateral collateral ligament much smaller than medial collateral ligament?
Has to withstand much more force
Women have larger Q angles so more prone to osteoarthritis
How do nerves enter/exit the gluteal region? The perineum?
* Gluteal region = greater sciatic foramen
* Perineum = lesser sciatic foramen
…
What splits the gluteal region into greater and lesser sciatic foramen?
sacrospinous ligament
Nerves of the gluteal region? (3)
* Sciatic (L4-S3)
* Pudendal (S2-S4)
* Posterior cutaneous nerve of thigh (S1-S3)
Sciatic nerve supplies? Pudendal? POsterior cutaneous nerve of thigh?
* Sciatic nerve (L4-S3) is largest nerve in body - supplies posterior thigh, leg + foot
* Pudendal (S2-S4) - perineum
* Posterior cutaneous nerve of thigh (S1-S3) - posterior thigh, popliteal fossa, lateral perineum, upper medial thigh
Sciatic nerve exits gluteal region where?
Exits inferior to piriformis via greater sciatic foramen (usually most lateral structure exiting greater sciatic foramen)
Sciatic nerve artery?
Artery to the sciatic nerve
Sciatic nerve splits into? (2)
* Tibial nerve = larger, medial
* Common fibular = smaller, lateral
…
…
Compartment syndrome tx?
Fasciotomy
…
Flexures of thigh? Extensors of leg?
What are they innervated by?
Flexures
* Pectineus
* Iliopsoas (psoas major, minor + iliacus)
* Sartorius
* Rectus femoris
Extensors
* Rectus femoris
* Vastus lateralis
* Vastus medialis
* Vastus intermedius
Anterior thigh innervated by femoral nerve (L2, L3, L4)
(except psoas major - L1, L2, L3)
Femoral triangle boundaries? Contents?
Boundaries
* Superior - inguinal ligament
* Medially - lateral border of abductus longus
* Laterally - medial border of sartorius
* Floor - iliopsoas + pectineus
* Roof - fascia lata
Contents = NAVY (lateral to medial)
* Femoral nerve, femoral artery, femoral vein, lymphatics
Where are flexures and extensors of thigh/leg found?
Anterior compartment of thigh
Where are adductors of thigh found? What are they? What are they innervated by?
Medial compartment of thigh
* Adductor longus
* Adductor brevis
* Adductor magnus
* Gracilis
* Obturator externus
All innervated by obturator nerve (L2, 3, 4)
Where are the exensors of the thigh and flexors of leg found? What are they? What are they innervated by?
Posterior compartment of the thigh
* Semitendinosus
* Semimembranosus
* Biceps femoris
All tibial division of sciatic nerve (L5, S1, S2)
Ischial tuberosity?
Bony part of bum you sit on
Muscle groups of posterior compartment of the leg? Innervated by?
Superifcial group
* Gastrocnemius
* Soleus
* Plantaris
Deep group
* Popliteus
* Flexor hallicus longus
* Flexor digitorum longus
* Tibialis posterior
All innervated by tibial nerve!!
Muscles of anterior compartment of leg? Innervated by?
Lateral compartment of leg? Innervated by?
Anterior
* Tibialis anterior
* Extensor digitorum longus
* Extensor hallicus longus
* Fibularis tertius
Innervation = deep fibular nerve (L4, L5)
Lateral
* Fibularis longus
* Fibularis brevis
Innervation = superficial fibular nerve (L5, S1, S2)
What causes “foot drop”?
Deep fibular nerve palsy leading to absent dorsiflexion
Boundaries of popliteal fossa? Contents?
Boundaries
* Superlateral = biceps femoris
* Supermedial = semimembranosus
* Inferior = gastrocnemius
* Roof = popliteal fascia
Contents
