Q

What muscle abducts and flexes the hip?

A

Sartorius

17
Q

The Saphenous Nerve is a ______________.

A

Dorsal Branch of the femoral nerve

18
Q

What Angle is formed between long axis of head/neck of femur and long axis of shaft ?

A

Angle of Inclination

~126 degrees , smaller in females due wider distance of acetabulum from a wider pelvis

Newborn ~180 degrees

3 years ~ 135 degrees

Decreases gradually with age

19
Q

What are the two parts of the Femoral Nerve and what do they innervate?

A

Anterior Part(Primarily cutaneous)-Intermediate and medial femoral cutaneous nerves to the anterior thigh. Muscular branch to sartorius(often arices with intermediate femoral cutaneous)

Posterior Part(Primarily muscular)-muscular branches to anterior thigh muscles (rectus femoris, vastus medialis, vastus lateralis , vastus intermedius and articularis genu)

20
Q

What are abnormal angles of inclination and what can they cause?

A

Coxa Vara - <120 degrees (produces stress on femoral neck)

Coxa Valga - >135 degrees( increase joint pressure)

21
Q

Planter and dorsi flexion occur in what plane ?

A

Movement occurs in the oblique sagittal plane about the oblique transverse plane

22
Q

What angle is used to diagnose Genu Varum or Genu Valgum?

A

Q angle (quadraciep angle)

~10 to 14 degrees (Males) ~15-17 degrees (females)

Runs from patella to ASIS and from middle of patella to tibial tuberosity.

Similar to angle of inclination. Helps determine proper alignment between thigh and leg.

23
Q

What are the nerves of the lumar plexus ? ​

A

Iliohypogastric nerve: T12-L1

Ilioinguinal nerve: L1

Genitofemoral nerve: L1-L2

Lateral femoral Cutaneous nerve: L2-L3 (contains dorsal division fibers)

Femoral nerve: L2-L4 (dorsal division fibers )

Obturator Nerve: L2 -L4 (ventral division fibers)

Accessory Obturator: L3-L4 (Ventral division fibers)

24
Q

What muscles attach to the pubis?

A

Pectinus, Graceillis , Adductor longus,Adductor brevis, Adductor Longus (Not hamstring portion of adductor magnus)

25
Q

What are the 4 gateways to the lower extremity from the abdominopelvic cavity and what do they transmit?

A

Subinguinal Space- (femoral vessels & Nerve, lympatics,iliopsoas & pectinus)

Obturator Canal -( obturator vessels & nerve)

Greater Sciatic Foramen -( superior and inferior gluteal vessels & Nerves, sciatic nerve, pudendal nerve, internal pudenal vessesls , posterior cutaneous nerve of the thigh,nerves to the small lateral rotators of the thigh, tendon of piriformis)

Lesser sciatic foramen- ( pudenal nerve and internal pudenal vessels, tendon of obturator internus, nerve to obturator internus)

26
Q

What is the order of fusion of the secondary ossification centers of the femur?

A

Lesser Trochanter(18 years)

Greater Trochanter (18-19 years)

Head(18-20 years)

Condyles (20-22 years)

27
Q

At what point does maximum contact of the tibia and femur occur?

A

Extension

28
Q

At what point does the inferior epiphysis of the femur ossify ?

A

9 Months Gestation

29
Q

A midshaft femoral fracture would least likely damage what adductor muscle ?

A

Pectineus ,( muscles such as adductor brevis, longus and adductor magnus would be at risk)

30
Q

What is the weak point called which is vulnerable for fracture in elderly persons ?

A

Ward’s Triangle (internal femoral triangle)

31
Q

What are the 3 intracapsular structures of the hip joint?

A

Transverse acetabular ligament

ligament of the head of the femur

acetabular labrum(rim) (TAL is really part of labrum but with cartilage cells)

32
Q

What part of the femoral head is not covered by Hyaline cartilage?

A

Fovea Capitis (where ligament of the head of femur is found)

33
Q

What is the angle of torsion/declination?

A

Angle of neck and shaft to coronal plane is ~15 degrees

Clincial relevant Neck is usually a bit anterior to shaft.

Abnormal Anteversion ( medially rotate leg to compensate)

Abnormal Retroversion( angle becomes small and compensatory mechanism is to externally Rotate leg and have toes pointing outward)

34
Q

What collateral ligament has an attachment with a meniscus ?

A

Medial Collateral ligament(Tibial Collateral ligament) attaches to the medial meniscus. The Lateral Collateral Ligament(Fibular Collateral ligament) does not attach to the lateral meniscus.

MCL prevents and is tensed in attempted abduction

LCL prevents and is tensed in attempted adduction
