Pelvis Flashcards
Which muscle originates on ASIS?
What can be trapped under ASIS? What’s this called?
Sartorius
LFCN can be trapped (meraglia paresthetica)
Which muscle originates on AIIS?
Rectus femoris
Major muscle that originates on Ischial tuberosity
Hamstrings
Structures that exit greater sciatic foramen?
POPS IQ Pudendal nerve nerve to Obturator internus Posterior cutaneous nerve of thigh Sciatic nerve Inferior gluteal artery nerve to Quadratus femoris
How are acetabular zones defined?
2 lines: ASIS to center of acetabulum and its perpendicular.
Dangers of acetabular zones?
No screw in anterior zones (anterior superior has external iliac artery/vein, anterior inferior has obturator nerve, artery, and vein.
Posterior superior is safe zone, watch for sciatic nerve, superior gluteal n,a,v
Posterior inferior is secondary safe zone. Watch for sciatic nerve, inferior gluteal n,a,v, and internal pudendal n,a,v
Denis classification?
Vertical sacral fractures. Zones of sacrum. Zone 1 is lateral to foramina, zone 2 is through foramina, zone 3 is medial to foramina. Zone 3 is worst, look for nerve root injury and CES.
Young and Burgess classification?
Pelvic ring fx:
Anterior posterior (AP)
I) 2.5cm diastasis + anterior SI injury but vertically stable.
III) Complete anterior and posterior disruption, unstable
Lateral compression (LC)
I) Sacral compression + ipsilateral rami fracture
II) LC1 + iliac wing fx or posterior SIOJ injury, Vertically stable.
III) LC 2 with contralateral APC3 (windswept pelvis)
Bleeding in pelvic fx
Venous>arterial (internal pudendal a > superior gluteal a)
Letournel & Judet classification
Acetabular fx:
Elementary: posterior wall/column, anterior wall/column, transverse
Associated: post. column and post wall, transverse and post wall, T type, ant. column and post hemi transverse both columns.
Strongest ligament in pelvis?
Posterior SI ligament, vertical stability
Which ligament divides sciatic foramen?
Sacrospinous
Sensory distribution of iliohypogastric?
Suprapubic, lateral butt/thigh
Sensory of ilioinguinal
Inguinal region
Sensory of genitofemoral nerve
Scrotum/mons
