outline 14: Hip,glut,fem triangle, thigh Flashcards
At the very tip of the head of the femur is the (X). Is this the attachment site for anything?
X = Fovea
Yes - ligamentum teres
T/F: a cross-section of the femur would look round, similar to that of the humerus.
False - pointy projection (linea aspera) on femur cross-section
The greater trochanter is distinctly (medial/lateral).
Lateral
The trochanteric fossa of the femur is an attachment site for which group(s) of muscles?
Many hip rotators
The patella articulates on the (X) of the (anterior/posterior) femur.
X = patellar surface
Anterior
The femoral angle of inclination is between (X) and (Y). It’s typically (Z) degrees.
X = the neck Y = the shaft Z = 125
The femoral angle of the shaft is between (X) and (Y). It’s typically (Z) degrees.
X = the vertical Y = the shaft Z = 10
The femoral angle of torsion is between (X) and (Y). It’s typically (Z) degrees.
X = the neck Y = the frontal plane Z = 12
Femoral fractures can occur in which locations?
- Neck
- Below the trochanters
- Near the condyles
A elderly lady walks in with a hip fracture. You notice that one leg appears shorter than the other. Because you’re so smart and took/aced gross anatomy, you suspect the fracture is located (X) because….
X = Below the trochanters
Muscles spasm (due to the break) and pull up on the proximal segment
A femoral fracture located (X) would be similar to fractures found in the humerus.
X = near the condyles
Which type of femoral fracture can lead to damage to the (X) artery, which is a continuation of the femoral artery.
X = Popliteal
A fracture near the condyles
Superficial fascia in the gluteal region is essentially:
fat deposits
What’s the deep fascia in the gluteal region?
- Fascia lata
2. Iliotibial tract/band (a specialization of fascia lata)
What are the cutaneous nerves of the gluteal region?
- Cluneal
- Subcostal
- Iliohypogastric
The cluneal nerve is (muscular/cutaneous) to the (X) region. It comes from the (anterior/posterior) rami of:
Cutaneous
X = gluteal
Posterior rami of lumbar and sacral spinal nerves
The short lateral hip rotators are (superficial/deep) to gluteus maximus.
Deep
T/F: Gluteus maximus is a hip abductor.
False
T/F: Obturator externus is a lateral hip rotator that resides in the adductor compartment.
True
Superior and inferior gemellus are what kind of muscles?
Short lateral hip rotators
Tensor fascia lata, with the help of the (X) muscle, does what to the knee?
X = gluteus maximus
Stabilizes the extended knee
The pendulum test is a direct test for (X) muscle(s), which makes it an indirect test for (Y) nerve(s).
X = gluteus medius and gluteus minimus Y = superior gluteal nerve
The pelvic tilt is a (normal/reverse) action for:
reverse; gluteus medius and minimus
Superior gemellus travels from the (X) to the (Y).
X = ischial spine Y = trochanteric fossa
Inferior gemellus travels from (X) to (Y).
X = the ischial tuberosity Y = the trochanteric fossa
T/F: The hip joint is the second-most joint affected by disease.
False - it’s the joint most affected by disease
List all possible movements at the hip joint.
- Flex/extend
- Abd/Add
- Med/Lat rotation
- Circumduction
Flexion at the hip joint is limited to about (X) degrees. Extension is limited to about (Y) degrees.
X = 100 Y = 5
What limits hip flexion?
Length of hamstring
What limits hip extension?
A close-packed iliofemoral ligament
Hip abduction/adduction is limited by:
muscle length
One can get good med/lat rotation at the hip if the hip is:
flexed
The intertrochanteric line is on the (anterior/posterior) femur. Is the intertrochanteric crest on the same side?
Anterior; no, crest is posterior
The quadrate tubercle is on the (anterior/posterior) femur.
Posterior
The gluteus (X) muscle attaches to (Y) on the (anterior/posterior) femur.
X = Maximus Y = gluteal tuberosity
Posterior
