Post Thigh Flashcards
what is the blood supply of the hamstring muscles (3)
inf gluteal artery, perforating branches of deep artery of thigh, popliteal artery
what attaches to each of the quadrants on the ish tub
sup lat- Semimembranosis
Sup med- semitentindosis
Inf lat- adductor magnus
Inf med- Biceps femoris
Overuse of biceps femoris may affect what knee structure
LCL
Floor of the popliteal fossa (3)
- Popliteal surface of femur
- Fibrous capsul of knee joint
- Popliteal muscle
Roof of popliteal fossa (3)
- popliteal fascia
- skin
- Cut nerves and vessels
what dirrection the tibial div and common fib deviate at the popliteal fossa
tibial crosses from lateral to medial
common fibular will deviate laterally
vessels of popliteal fossa from lat to medial
tibial nerve, popliteal V, popliteal A, Fibular n
what is the fascia called in the leg region
crural fascia
what does the common fibular nerve spilt into
deep and superficial fibular
what is the path of the post femoral cutaneous nerve
descendes down post thigh, superficial to long head of BF + deep to fascia lata.
@ popliteal area it pierces deep fascia and comes cutaneous
the post femoral cutaneous will also send branches to this nerve
inf cluneal (s3)
what is a bakers cyst
popliteal cyst is synovial fluid lined sac in the popliteal fossa. Can compress vascular structes
Borders of the popliteal fossa (superolat/med, indrolat/med)
superolat- biceps femoris
superomed- semitendinosus tendon and semimembranosis muscle
Inferomed- medial head of gastroc
Inferolat- lat head of gastroc, plantaris
Contents of popliteal fossa
tibial nerve, popliteal vein, popliteal artery, fibular n, termination of short saphenous, post femoral cutaneous n, sural medial and lat, popliteal lymph nodes
