Q

The hip joint’s stability is increased by which three ligaments [3]

Which is the strongest? [1] - Why is this clinically significant? [1]

A

Pubo-femoral ligament
Ilio-femoral ligament- strongest & found on anterior aspect of the joint - so anterior more strong than posterior
Ischio-femoral ligament

Together - they push the head of the femur into the hip

Q

Contents of the tarsal tunnel? [5]

A

TARSAL TUNNEL

The tarsal tunnel is described as a region posterior to the medial malleolus and is bounded by the flexor retinaculum, turning it into a ‘tunnel’ through which important structures run. It is a useful landmark as it is where a clinician palpates the posterior tibial pulse and is the site of tarsal tunnel syndrome.

Contents of the tarsal tunnel:

Tendon of tibialis posterior
Tendon of flexor digitorum longus
Posterior tibial artery (and venae comitantes)
Tibial nerve
Flexor hallucis longus

eversion:

  • innervated by which nerve?
  • which muscles? [2]
  • which compartment of leg? [1]
A

dorsiflexion and toe extension:

  • innervated by which nerve: deep branch of common peroneal nerve
  • which muscles: **tibialis anterior, E. digitorum longus and E. hallicus longus
  • anterior compartment**

eversion

  • innervated by which nerve: superficial branch of common peroneal
  • which muscles: fibularis longus and fibularis brevis
  • lateral compartment
106
Q

plantarflexion:

which muscles do this ? - of superficial plexor and deep muscles

A

**plantarflexion:

superficial plexors:**

  • gastrocnemius
  • soleus
  • plantaris
  • *deep muscles: toe flexion**
  • flexor digitorum longus
  • flexor hallucis longus
  • tibialis posterior - also does foot inversion
107
Q

what is arrow pointing to?

A

extensor reticulum

108
Q
A
109
Q

which muscles cause inversion of foot? [2]

which muscles cause eversion of foot? [2]

A

which muscles cause inversion of foot? [2]
tibialis anterior
tibialis posterior

which muscles cause eversion of foot? [2]
peroneus longus
peroneus brevis

110
Q

which ligaments of foot get stretched out when foot planted, sot that when you take a step, release energy and help lift off?

a) medial side [1]
b) lateral side [2]

A

which ligaments of foot get stretched out when foot planted, sot that when you take a step, release energy and help lift off?

a) medial side: spring ligament
b) lateral side: long and short plantar ligaments

111
Q

explain the arches of the foot? [3]

A

medial longitudinal arch:
- open footprin side: middle of foot isnt it
- contact with ground: big toe & calcaneous
- resilient due to large no. of bones

lateral longitudinal arch:
- flatter
- less bones
- talus transmits body weight through it - weight not central though - either goes forward or backwards

transverse arch:
not a true arch - maintained by some mscles and ligaments as longuitnial arches
- bony fit is particularly good

112
Q

where is weight distribution in foot?

A

found in medial & longitudinal arch - not the transverse arch !!

113
Q

How do you treat a intertrochantric fracture? [1]

A

Dynamic hip screw: blate with barrel inserted to outside of femoral shaft. Screw goes through to femoral head gives controlled compression

114
Q

How do you treat subtroch. hip fracture? [1]

A

IM nail

115
Q

How does NOF present? [3]

A

Short, abducted and externally rotated

116
Q

Which views are used for NOF fracture x-ray? [2]

A

AP - otherwise can’t see shentons line & lateral

117
Q

What does A point to? [1]
What is the innervation? [1]

A

Tensor fascia lata
Superior gluteal nerve

118
Q

Which nerves supply sensory to colours shown?

A
119
Q

PCL helps to stabilise knne joint particularly in which movement? [1]

What is other role? [1]

A

Helps stabilise knee especially in flexion

Stops tibia moving backward on femur

Stronger the ACL

120
Q

Describe the role of ACL [3]

A

Stabilise knee in extension and prevents hyperextension and excessive internal rotation

Stops tibia moving forward on femur

121
Q

Label the contents of the popliteal fossa

A
