Proximal and Distal Hindlimb Flashcards
What spinal nerves supply the hindlimb?
L5, L6, L7, S1, S2
What deos the cartilagenous labrum do?
Further deepens joint capsule of hip
What ligaments are found in the hip joint?
- NO collateral ligament
- within joint = ligamental fovea/ round ligament/ teres ligament which attaches onto the fovea capitus on the head of the femur
- Transverse acetabular ligament
What are the movements of the hip joint?
- Main = Flexion and extension
2. but as ball and socket it can move in any direction
What are the ligaments in the stifle joint?
- Lateral collateral ligament
- medial collateral ligament
- patellar ligament
What ligaments are found in the hip joint?
- NO collateral ligaments
- Ligament of the femoral head/ teres ligament/ round ligament = stability = fovea to acetabular fossa
- Transverse acetabular ligament
What makes up the hip joint stability?
- Round ligament/ teres ligament
2. surrounding muscle mass
What can you palpate in the hip joint Dorsally?
- Ilium
- Dorsal iliac crest/ wing of I
- Tuber sacrale medial point
- Tuber coxae ventral of crest
- Tuber ischium
What can you palpate of the hip joint?
- Tuber ischium (near bottom)
2. Greater trochanter of femur (next)
With the palpation of pelvis and femur what should you be able to draw?
- a triangle
2. should be symmetrical, if not then dislocation
What do extrinsic muscles allow for the hindlimb?
- attaches onto axial appendicular skeleton
2. Movement of the limb relative to joint
BROADLY what are the extrinsic muscles of the hindlimb and type of movement?
- any muscle that attaches onto illeum
- Protraction = hip flexion = muscles located CRANIALLY to hip
- Retraction = hip extension = located caudally to hip
- Abduction = located dorsally to hip
- Adduction = located ventrally to hip
Which muscles are the extrinsic abductors?
- located dorsal to hip
Which muscles are the extrinsic abductors?
- located dorsal to hip
1. Gluteal muscle: 3 heads - superficial
- Middle
- Deep (periformus msucle on top)
O = sacrum and pelvis, gluteal surface, on lateral aspect of illeum
I = greater trochanter on femur
Innervated = Gluteal nerve
What are the Extrinsic Adductors of the hindlimb?
- located ventrally to hip joint O = ventral surface pelvis I = medial aspect limb GAPE MUSCLES 1. Gracilis = 2. Adductor 3. Pectineus 4. External Obturator Innervated = Obturator nerve
What are the Extrinsic Adductors of the hindlimb?
- located ventrally to hip joint O = ventral surface pelvis I = proximal medial aspect of femur GAPE MUSCLES 1. Gracilis = O pelvis, I tibia. Tendonous extension that inserts onto tarsus 2. Adductor = 3. Pectineus = tiny 4. External Obturator = I trochanteric fossa Innervated = Obturator nerve
What are the extrinsic limb protractors/ hip flexors?
1. Tensor fascia latae: 2 heads O = Ilium I = Fascia latae INNNN = gluteal nerve 2. Iliopsoas muscle O = lumbar vertebrae adn ilium I = Lesser trochanter (femur) INNNN = Femoral nerve
What are the extrinsic limb protractors/ hip flexors?
- Tensor fascia latae: 2 heads
2 heads make up a small muscular bit and then rest of insertion = extensive on cranio lateral aspect of stifle joint, lateral fascia
O = Ilium
I = Fascia latae proximal cranio lateral of stifle joint
INNNN = gluteal nerve - Iliopsoas muscle
2 heads too
O = lumbar vertebrae adn ilium (short head)
I = medial aspect of proximal femur = Lesser trochanter (femur)
INNNN = Femoral nerve
What are all the cranio lateral muscles of the hip innervated by?
Gluteal nerve
What extrinsic muscles are the limb PROtractors/ hip flexors?
- Sartorius
2. Rectus Femoris
What extrinsic muscles are the limb PROtractors/ hip flexors?
- Sartorius
2. QUADRACEP
Sartorius
What type of movement
O, I, Inn
- Limb protraction/ hip flexion
- 2 heads
O = cranial crest of Ilium and thorocolumbar fascia
O = caudal = cranial ventral iliac spine and adjacent ventral border of ilium
I = Cranial = patella in common with rectus femoris of quad
I = caudal = cranial border of tibia in common with gracilis
ONLY 1 HEAD in cats and horses
A = Flex hip, cranial part extends stifle, caudal flexes stifle
INNNNNERVATION = femoral nerve
Quadrecep
What type of movement
O, I, Inn
- Limb protraction/ hip flexion
- 4 heads
- Long head = rectus femoris = O proximally, crosses hip joint from ileum ventral aspect of body of ileum = FLEXOR (like long head of tricep)
Others:
O = ilium
I = tibial tuberosity via patellar ligament
INNNNNNNNERVATION = Femoral nerve
What extrinsic muscle is a limb retractor/ hip extensor?
Caudal group muscles 1. Biceps Femoris 2. Semitendinosus 3. Semimembranosus: 2 heads O = ischium I = femur and tibia INNNNN = sciatic nerve
What si the femoral triangle?
- very medial aspect of thigh region
- Muscle boundaries are formed caudally: Pectineus, cranially = sartorius
- can palpate femoral artery as femoral neurovascular bundle (pulse)
What are the paired bones in the hind limb?
What type of bones ?
- tibia and fibula
- Long bones
- tibia = main weight bearing. Medial aspect
- Fibula = lateral aspect, hardly any weight bearing
- arrangement: NO rotation unlike in ulna and radius. = these lie parallel
- Interosseous space = 1/2 length
