test 3 Flashcards
Femoral neck fracture are common in______. Why? Laymans terms?
people over 60 years old especially women because of the angle of the femur
broken hip
Sacrotuberous ligament forms?
From the sciatic notch to the ischial tuberosity… forms the lesser sciatic notch
Sacrospinous ligament forms?
From the sacrum to the ischial spine… forms the greater sciatic foramen
The greater sciatic foramen is the passageway?
The greater sciatic foramen is the passageway for structures leaving the pelvis like the sciatic nerve
The lesser sciatic foramen is the passageway?
The passageway for structures leaving the perineum like the pudendal nerve
What are the muscles of the posterior abdominal wall?
Psoas major, Psoas minor, iliacus, quadratus lumborum
What is IT band syndrome?
Repetitive strain of IT band
Friction between the soft tissue and lateral epicondyle causes pain and inflammation
Name the artery pathway starting at common iliac artery?
internal Iliac artery and external iliac artery which changes to femoral artery when travelling under inguinal ligament
What are the borders/contents for the femoral triangle
Inguinal ligament, sartorius, and adductor longus
Floor: pectineus and iliopsoas
Contents: Femoral vein, artery, nerve
What are the contents of the adductor canal/ hiatus?
Saphoneous nerve
Femoral artery, vein, nerve
What are the 5 P’s of the compartment syndrome?
Pain, Pallor, Paresthesia, Pulselessness, Paralysis
Lumbosacral Plexus Big 5?
Obturator Nerve (L2-L4)
Femoral Nerve (L2-L4)
Sciatic Nerve (L4-S3)
Superior Gluteal Nerve (L4-S1)
Inferior Gluteal Nerve (L5-S2)
What travels through the fovea?
Obturator Artery
What kind of bone is the patella?
Sesamoid bone
What direction is most common in patellar dislocation?
Lateral
Knee Joint- Screw Home Mechanism?
Foot on surface (closed chain)
- to lock and straighten the knee, the knee locks by medially rotating the femur on the fixed tibia
- to unlock, the popliteus contracts, laterally rotates the femur on the fixed tibia
Foot off surface (open chain)
- to lock and straighten the knee, the knee locks by laterally rotating the tibia on the fixed femur
-to unlock the knee, the popliteus contracts, medially rotates the tibia on the fixed femur
When does the femoral artery become the popliteal artery?
After the adductor hiatus
What are the borders/ contents of the popliteal fossa?
Superolateral: Biceps femoris tendon
Superomedial: Semimembranosus and semitendinosus
Inferomedial: medial head of gastrocnemius
Inferolateral: Lateral head of gastrocnemius and plantaris
Contents: Politeal artery, politeal vein, Nerves
Bifurcation of sciatic nerve into tibial and common fibular nerve, sural nerve
Differences between Genu varum and genu valgum?
Genu varum- bow leg
Genu Valgum- KD shot, knocked knee
ACL Function?
Attaches to the posterior part of the medial side of the lateral condyle of the femur extending to the anterior intercondylar area of the tibia
Prevents anterior displacement of the tibia and hyperextension of the knee
PCL Function?
Attaches to the posterior part of the lateral side of the medial condyle of the femur to the posterior intercondylar area of the tibia
Prevents anterior displacement of femur on tibia or posterior displacement of the tibia on the femur and helps prevent hyperflexion of the knee joint
Medial Mensicus? Lateral meniscus?
C shaped and less mobile, more commonly injured
Circular, smaler, and more freely moveable than medial menisucus
What is the unhappy triad?
a ligament sprain injury involving the MCL, ACL, and medial meniscus
Lateral Collateral Ligament Location and function?
Extends from the lateral epicondyle to the lateral surface of the fibular head
Resists varus stress and tibial external rotation
Medial Collateral Ligament Location and function?
Extends from the medial epicondyle of the femur to the medial condyle and the superior part of the medial surface of the tibia
Valgus stress
Where is the proximal and distal tibiofibular joints?
Fibular head and Lateral mallelous on fibular notch
Responsible for IR and ER of the lower leg
Talocrural DF/PF
Name the 3 5th metatarsal injuries?
Avulsion fracture at base of 5th metatarsal
Jones fracture
Stress fracture
What is the most commonly injured ligament in the lateral ankle? 2nd most commonly injured?
Anterior talofibular ligament
Calcaneofibular ligament
Differences between high ankle sprain and lateral ankle sprain?
Inversion and involves the anterior talofibular ligament and calcaneofibular ligament
DF with lower leg external rotation and involves the tibiofibular syndesmosis and anterior tibiofibular ligament
What are the Ottawa ankle and Foot fracture rules?
A: Posterior edge of lateral malleolus
B: Posterior edge of medial malleolus
C: Base of 5th metatarsal
D: Navicular
Ankle X ray if pain in malleolar zone, tenderness at A and/or B, and inability to bear weight
Foot X Ray if pain in midfoot zone, tenderness at C and/ or D and inability to bear weight
What comprises the tarsal tunnel (medial malleolus)?
Tom DIck and Very Nervous harry
