- inn:
- hamstring: tibial nerve
- adductor part: posterior branch of obturator nerve
CC: groin pull
an injury to the muscle tendon unit that produces pain on palpation of the adductor tendons or its insertion on the pubic bone with or without pain during resisted adduction
CC: riders’ bones
localized ossification sometimes seen on the inner aspect of the lower end of the tendon of the adductor muscle of the thigh in horseback riders.
which adductor group muscles are found in the:
anterior layer
- pectineus
- adductor longus
which adductor group muscles are found in:
middle layer
- adductor brevis
- gracilis
which adductor group muscles are found in:
posterior layer
adductor magnus
which adductor muscles are found in the
anterior, middle, and posterior layers
- ANTERIOR
- a. Longus
- Pectineus
- MIDDLE
- a. Brevis
- Gracilis
- POSTERIOR
- a. Magnus
cc: which of the adductor muscles can be transplanted?
gracilis (part of all w/ neurovascular supply) can be transplanted to replace hand muscles &
to replace external anal sphincter muscle (free up distal attachment)
which part of the adductor magnus is the “hamstring part”?
the ischiocondylar part
identify the anterior and posterior divisions of the obturator nerve
- anterior division
- posterior division
which artery assists the deep femoral artery in supplying the medial thigh muscles?
the obturator artery
what is the major artery supplying blood to the muscles of the thigh?
deep femoral artery
which 2 hamstring muscles have a common origin?
biceps femoris & semitendinosus
semitendinosus:
origin/insertion
o: superomedial part of ischial tuberosity w/origin of long head
of biceps femoris
ins: pes anserinus
* crosses hip and knee*
semitendinosus:
action, innervation
act: extends hip and flexes knee; can medially rotate thigh and flexed leg
inn: tibial nerve
semimembranosus (SM):
origin, insertion
- o: as flat tendon from superolateral part of ischial tuberosity (also from sacrotuberous ligament & ischial attachment of adductor magnus)
- ins: widespread, incl:
- groove on medial condyle of tibia (posteriorly)
- medial border of tibia
- fascia covering politeus
- knee joint capsule as oblique popliteal ligament
semimembranosus:
act, inn
action: extends hip, flexes leg, medially rotates thigh and flexed leg
inn: tibial nerve
biceps femoris:
origin, insertion
- origin
- long head: superomedial part of ischial tuberosity w/ semitendinosus & sacrotuberous ligament
- short head: lateral lip of linea aspera, lateral supracondylar ridge, & lateral intermuscular septum
- insert
- 3 laminae/ layers of insertion:
- *superficial laminae: head of fibula
- deep & intermediate laminae are not important
- 3 laminae/ layers of insertion:
biceps femoris:
action, innervation
- act: long head - extends & laterally rotates hip
- both heads - flex knee and laterally rotate flexed knee
- inn:
- long head - tibial nerve
- short head - common fibular nerve
what contributes to SCIATIC NERVE?
Common tibial/peroneal nerve (dorsal/posterior division) &
Tibial (ventral anterior division) w/in same sheath
which division innervates the posterior cutaneous nerve of the thigh?
both posterior and anterior division innervation
mnemonic for sacral plexus
Sacral innervation could totally prove preposterous
- S: superior gluteal nerve (L4, L5, S1)
- I: inferior gluteal nerve (L5, S1, S2)
- C: common fibular nerve (L4, L5, S1, S2) – sciatic
- T: tibial nerve (L4, L5, S1, S2, S3) – sciatic
- P: posterior femoral cutaneous nerve (S1, S2, S3)
- P: pudendal nerve (S2, S3, S4)
which nerves innervate the skin of the posterior thigh?
- *POSTERIOR FEMORAL CUTANEOUS
- lateral femoral cutaneous
- medial femoral cutaneous
- obturator nerve
posterior femoral cutaneous nerve:
ventral rami and fibers
- ventral rami of S1-S3
- dorsal division fibers from S2
- ventral division fibers from S2
relationship between deep femoral artery and adductor longus / brevis/ magnus?
deep femoral artery runs DEEP to the adductor longus muscle,
and SUPERFICIAL to adductor brevis and magnus
