20
Q

Femoral triangle content medial to lateral

A

Femoral vein (intermediate compartment of sheath), femoral artery (lateral compartment of shear), femoral nerve

21
Q

Femoral artery pathway

A

Passes inguinal ligament where it turns from external iliac to femoral artery
Passes through triangle and through adductor canal
Through hiatus and then changes to popliteal artery

22
Q

Deep femoral artery branches

A
  • Lateral and medial circumflex arteries circles around proximal end of femur
  • 4 perforating arteries that pass through adductor magnus insertion
23
Q

Saphenus nerve

A

Splits from femoral nerve near femoral triangle and travels medially. Crosses knee joint and enters leg on medial side

24
Q

Obturator nerve

A

Mixed nerve from L2,3,4
Anterior branch (anterior to adductor brevis)
- sensory: middle 1/3 of medial thigh
- motor: adductor muscles aside from Magnus and obturator externus
Posterior branch: posterior to brevis
- motor: adductor Magnus and obturator externus

25
Q

Biceps femoris
Long head

A

O: ischial tuberosity
I: head of fibula
I: tibial division
F: prime mover knee flexion, some hip extension and when knee is flexed, lateral tibial rotation

26
Q

Biceps femoral
Short head

A

O: shaft of femur
I: head of fibula
I: common fibular division
F: prime mover knee flexion, some hip extension and when knee is flexed, lateral tibial rotation

27
Q

Semi tendinosus

A

O: ischial tuberosity
I: medial condyle of tibia (pes anserine)
I: tibial division
F: flex knee and extension of hip. When knee flexed, medial knee rotation

28
Q

Semi membranosus

A

O: ischial tuberosity
I: shallow groove medial to medial
Condyle of tibia
I: tibial division
F: flex knee and extension of hip. When knee flexed, medial knee rotation

Closed chain: femur lateral rotation and assist in knee flexion

30
Q

Bifurcation of sciatic nerve

A

Junction of Proximal 2/3 and distal 1/3 on posterior thigh

31
Q

Head of femur blood supply

A

Medial and lateral circumflex femoral arteries

32
Q

Most important blood supply to posterior thigh

A

Perforating arteries from deep
Femoral artery
- penetrate through adductor Magnus

33
Q

Knee joint type and articulating surfaces

A

Synovial joint
1. Tibiofemoral joint - tibial plate and femoral condyle (modified hinge joint)
2. Patelo femoral- patellar groove and posterior aspect of patella (planar joint)

34
Q

Extrinsic knee ligaments

A

Patellar - from patella to tibial tuberosity
Medial collateral ligament - medial femoral epicondyle to medial proximal tibia
- some fibers blend with capsule
LCL- lateral epicondle to head of fibula
PCL- posterior intercondylar area to medial femoral condyle
ACL - anterior intercondylar area to lateral femoral condyke

35
Q

Function of ACL & PCL

A

Antero posterior stability
PCL: prevent posterior glide of tibia against femur
Ant: prevent anterior glide of tibia against femur

36
Q

Menisci attachments

A

Anterior and posterior Horns are only bony attachment of menisci
Both anterior horns are attached to transverse ligament
Medial menisci : attached to fibrous capsule of joint (and therefore indirect attachment to MCL)
Lateral meniscus: attached to popliteus tendon

37
Q

Movement of menisci

A

Lateral glides 2x as much as medial meniscus (can accommodate better and therefore less injured)

38
Q

Meniscus function

A

In extension: shock absorbers
Flexion: increase congruency between convex posterior femur and flat tibial plate

39
Q

Which muscles provides posterior knee stability

A

Popliteus
- pulls lateral meniscus posterior in flexion to prevent impingement

40
Q

Most stable knee position

A

Extension
- MCL and LCL become stretched and stable when knee is laterally rotated and extended
- medial rotation increases stretch and stability in cruciate ligaments

41
Q

Supra patellar bursa

A

Extension of synovial membrane
- articularis genus pulls this up in knee extension to prevent impingement

42
Q

Support of knee fibrous membrane

A

Medial: MCL (attached to capsule)
Lateral: LCL (not attached) and ITB (some attachment)
Post: oblique popliteal ligament (extension of semi membranous tendon) and
Ant: quad tendon

43
Q

Knee joint gliding vs rotation in flexion

A

0-20 degrees of flexion = rolling
20-90: rolling gradually relaxed by gliding
90+ : gliding (comes with increased friction and OA risk)

44
Q

Proximal tibio fibular joint ligaments

A

Joint between head of fibula and fibular facet on tibia
Support:
Anterior and posterior ligament
Interosseous membrane

45
Q
