24
Q

Adductor Hiatus

A

Gap between distal part of adductor magnus and femur/muscles that allows femoral a. and v. to pass from anterior surface to post. to pass around back of knee (and change names to popliteal)

25
Q

3 Posterior Thigh Muscles

A

Biceps femoris m.
Semitendinous m.
Semimembranous m.

26
Q

Innervation of Posterior Thigh Muscles

A

Sciatic nerve

27
Q

Semimembranous m.

A

Runs medially to biceps femoris long head

28
Q

Semitendinous m.

A

Runs kinda of on top of semimembranous, long tendon

29
Q

Biceps femoris m. (2)

A

Has long head running from ischial tuberosity crossing both joints, and short head running from linea aspera more laterally and only crossing knee joint

30
Q

3 Cutaneous Innervations of Thigh

A

Lateral, anterior, and posterior femoral cutaneous n.s

31
Q

Anterior Thigh Blood Source

A

Femoral artery

32
Q

6 Branches off Femoral Artery

A 
Superficial circumflex iliac a.
Superficial epigastric a.
Superficial and deep external pudendal a.s
Profunda femoris a.
Descending genicular a.
33
Q

Descending genicular a.

A

(One of) last branch(es) of femoral a. just before it goes through adductor hiatus; comes off and supplies knee

34
Q

3 Branches of Profunda Femoris

A 
Medial and lateral femoral circumflex a.s
Perforating branches (4)
35
Q

Perforating branches of profunda femoris

A

Pierce adductor magnus as profunda femoris a. passes along it and travel posteriorly to supply posterior thigh muscles

36
Q

Medial and lateral femoral circumflex arteries

A

Come off of femoris a. superiorly, travel around and anastomose w/ descending branch of inferiorly gluteal a. and ascending 1st perforating artery to form cruciate anastomosis

37
Q

Cruciate Anastomosis

A

Connection b/w external and internal iliacs: medial and lateral femoral circumflex a.s, inferior gluteal a., and 1st perforating a.

38
Q

Obturator artery

A

Anterior and posterior branches, supplies medial thigh

39
Q

Posterior Thigh Blood Supply (2)

A

Medial femoral circumflex a.

Perforating branches of profunda femoris a.

40
Q

4 Borders of Femoral Triangle

A

Sup: Inguinal ligament

Lat: Sartorius m.
Floor: Iliopsoas m. and pectineus m.

41
Q

4 Contents of Femoral Triangle

A

Femoral nerve (lateral)
Femoral artery
Femoral vein (median)
Femoral sheath

42
Q

Femoral Sheath

A

Extension of iliac fascia dragged by external iliac a. and v. as they descend into thigh

43
Q

3 Compartments of Femoral Sheath (and their contents)

A

Lateral: femoral a.
Intermediate: femoral v.
Medial: femoral canal - fat and lymphatics

44
Q

5 Boundaries of Popliteal Fossa

A

Superolateral - Biceps femoris m.
Superomedial - Semimembranous and semintendinous m.s
Inferolateral - Gastrocnemius m., lateral head
Inferiomedial - Gastrocnemius m., medial head
Floor - Popliteal surface of femur, oblique popliteal ligament and popliteus m.

45
Q

7 Components of Knee Joint

A 
Patellar ligament
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL)
Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL)
Fibular Collateral Ligament (LCL)
Tibial Collateral Ligament (MCL)
Medial and Lateral Meniscus
46
Q

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Path

A

Posterior superior to anterior inferior, from anterior aspect of tibia to lateral condyle of femur

47
Q

2 Actions of ACL

A

Prevents anterior translation of tibia/posterior translation of femur, also checks medial rotation

48
Q

Posterior Cruciate Ligament Path

A

Anterior superior to posterior inferior, runs from posterior aspect of tibia to anterior aspect of medial condyle of femur

49
Q

Posterior Cruciate Ligament Action

A

Prevent posterior translation of tibia or anterior translation of femur

50
Q

Fibular Collateral Ligament Path

A

Lateral femoral epicondyle to head of fibula

51
Q

Fibular Collateral Ligament Action

A

Checks verus stresses/provides lateral stability

52
Q

Tibial Collateral Ligament Path (2)

A

Medial femoral epicondyle to medial condyle of tibia

Connected to medial meniscus

53
Q

TIbial Collateral Ligament Action

A

Checks valgus stresses/provides medial support

54
Q

Medial Meniscus

A

C-shaped Fibrocartilage lying between medial femoral condyle and medial tibial condyle to act as shock absorber

55
Q

Lateral Meniscus

A

Circular-shaped Fibrocartilage lying between lateral femoral condyle and lateral tibial condyle to serve as shock absorber

56
Q

Terrible Triad (what it is and cause)

A

Tear/injury to ACL, MCL, and medial meniscus, caused by blow to postero-lateral aspect of tibia when foot is planted and knee locked/slightly flexed
