Structures Flashcards
Femoral Triangle is:
passage way from anterior ab wall to lower limb
transmission of:
femoral n
femoral a
femoral v
lympatics
boundaries
inguinal ligament
sartorius
adductor longus & brevis
muscular floor
illiopsoas
pectinues
adductor longus
roof:
fascia latta
contents Lateral to Medial
femoral n (isloated)
femoral a
femoral v
lympatics
contained within the femoral sheath
Femoral a
femoral v
lyphatics
inside the:
femoral canal
Femoral Canal:
contains lymph nodes and vessels
is a space that accommodates swelling of the femoral VEIN during venous return
IT band is:
thickening of dense fascia latta on lateral side
contributions to IT band from:
TFL
Glut Max
Proximal attachment of IT
Iliac tubercle
Distal attachment of IT
proximal anterolateral tibia
Gerdy’s Tubercle
Greater Trochanter Bursa between:
Glut Max and Greater Trochanter
GT bursa associated with:
deep pain in gluteal and lateral thigh regions
Ischial Bursa between
gluteus max and ischial tuberosity
sometimes called:
weaver’s bottom
Pes Anserin
Gracilis
Sartorius
Semitendonosus
Adductor Canal is bounded by:
(subsartorial)
covered by:
vastus medialis
Ad Long
Ad Mag
Sartorius
contents of Adductor Canal
Femoral a.
Femoral v.
Saphenous n.
Nerve to Vastus Medialis
Adductor Canal begins:
Subsartorial!
apex of femoral triangle
Adductor Hiatus formed by:
gap in tendon of insertion of Adductor Magnus
Adductor Hiatus provides:
passageway from Femoral A and Femoral V to pass from anterior thigh to posterior knee
once Femoral vessels pass through Adductor Hiatus they become:
popliteal vessels
anatomical axis of femur runs:
longitudinally along shaft
mechanical axis runs:
from COR of hip to COR of knee
medial rotators are muscles that attach to femur
anterior to mechanical axis
lateral rotators are attached to femur:
posterior to mechanical axis
the more the femur is internally rotated the more:
anteriorly positioned the mechanical axis becomes
this leads to:
more adductors will act as medial rotators
