Starred Lecture Items L16 Flashcards
how many bones make up the pelvis
3
what is the fovea
depression in the head of the femur
what is the longest bone and muscle in the body
femur and sartorius
what is the torsion angle of the femur
12 degrees, if greater or less than 12, it will create toed in or out
what is the angle of inclination of the femoral head
126 degrees
what type of bone is the patella
sesamoid
what mechanical advantage does the patella provide
last 20ish degrees of leg extension (quads)
what attaches to gerdy tubercle
IT band
TFL
where is the tibial plateau found and whats the most common type of injury to them
flat area, apex of tibia
pedestrian auto accidents (plateau is level with bumper)
what spinal level is hip adduction myotome
L2, L3, L4
what spinal level is hip abduction myotome
L5 S1
what goes through the fovea
ligament of the head of femur
obturator artery is inside the ligament, attaches to the head of the femur
what is the parent structure for the obturator artery
ligament of the head of the femur?????
what are the 3 hip ligaments and what movements do they resist
iliofemoral, ischiofemoral, pubofemoral (also resists abduction)
resist hyper extension of hip
are the three hip ligaments intra or extracapsular
intracellular, they are the capsule
knee joint articulations and what does not articulate
lateral femorotibial
medial femorotibial
femoropatellar
NO FIBULAR ARTICULATIONS
what stabilizes the knee joint
muscles/ligaments
most impt: quadriceps femoris
what position is the knee joint most stable
extension
what are the contents of the adductor canal
saphenous nerve
femoral VAN
adductor hiatus
quadriceps femoris muscles and what do they form
rectus femoris
vastus lateralis
vastus medialis
vastus intermedius
(form a common tendon– quadriceps tendon)
where is the quadricep tendon
superior/proximal to the patella
what does the quadriceps tendon turn into and where
patellar ligament/ patellar tendon; inferior to the patella
what nerve enervates rectus femoris
femoral nerve
what enervates everything in front of the femur
femoral nerve
sartorius, pectineus, rectus femoris, iliacus?????
does rectus femoris attach to ASIS or AIIS
AIIS
