Q

Compartment syndrome

A

When perfusion pressure falls below tissue pressure in closed anatomical compartment , pressure in compartment too high
If left untreated leads to necrosis and ultimately death
Due to either decreased compartment size, increased fluid content: burns, intra-arterial injection, infiltrated infusion, haemorrhage, envenomation
Follows path of ischaemic injury
An introduction of excess fluid or extraneous constriction increases pressure and decreases tissue perfusion until no O2 is available for cellular metabolism

Q

What is a plexus

A

A plexus is a collection of nerve fibres from one source that form ‘new’ nerves with specific targets/destinations
Either somatic or visceral
Lumbosacral plexus forms from the anterior rami of spinal nerves L1-S4

18
Q

What does lumbosacral plexus form from

A

Anterior rami of spinal nerves L1-S4

19
Q

Whats a ramus

A

The root comes first then the branch- ramus
Ramus= branch

20
Q

The lumbosacral plexus

A

Consists of two smaller plexuses: lumbar plexus and sacral plexus
Sits on the posterior abdominal wall of abdomen and pelvis

21
Q

The lumbar plexus

A

Derived from roots T12-L4
Forms inside psoas major muscle
I (twice) get laid on Fridays
Iliohypogastric (laterally)
Ilioinguinal (laterally)
Genitofemoral (emerges anteriorly from psoas)
Lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh (laterally)
Obturator (emerges medially to psoas)
Femoral (laterally)

22
Q

Nerve roots of nerves of lumbar plexus

A

Iliohypogastric- L1
Ilioinguinal- L1
Genitofemoral- L1 +L2
Lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh- L2 +L3
Obturator- L2 +L3+L4
Femoral- L2 L3 L4

2 from1 2 form 2 2 from 3

23
Q

Lumbar plexus points

A

Anterior rami of spinal nerves L1-L4
Also receives input from T12 (subcostal nerve)
Emerge in relation to psoas major muscle anterior, medial, lateral
Motor and sensory modalities
Nerves in the lumbar plexus are either sensory only or have mixed motor and sensory
None are motor only

24
Q

What nerve of the lumbar plexus is sensory only

A

Lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh
Rest of the nerves are all mixed

25
Q

Sacral plexus

A

L4-S4 lumbosacral trunk from L4/5 part of sacral plexus , ventral rami
Lies superficial to piriformis muscle
The piriformis muscle inserts into the greater trochanter of the femur
Superior gluteal nerve, inferior gluteal nerve, sciatic nerve, posterior femoral cutaneous nerve, pudendal nerve
Nerves either exit via greater sciatic foramen above (sup gluteal) or below piriformis
Or exit via greater sciatic foramen but loop around sacrospinous ligament and come back into pelvis via lesser sciatic foramen (pudendal and nerve to Obturator internus)

26
Q

Which muscles does the superior gluteal nerve lie between

A

Lies on gluteus minimus and deep to gluteus medius

27
Q

What structures does superior gluteal nerve innervate

A

Gluteus minimis
Gluteus medius
Tensor fascia lata

28
Q

What innervates the gluteus maximus

A

Inferior gluteal nerve

29
Q

What nerves arise from the sciatic nerve divide

A

Tibial and common peroneal (fibular) nerve
Tibial nerve is anterior rami
Fibular nerve is dorsal rami

30
Q

What muscles does the tibial nerve innervate

A

Posterior compartment of thigh except short head of biceps femoris which is femoral nerve
Adductor Magnus
Posterior compartment of leg
All muscles in sole of the foot

Sensory component: posterolateral leg and sole

31
Q

What does the common peroneal/fibular nerve innervate

A

Short head of biceps femoris
Anterior compartment of the leg
Lateral compartment of the leg
Extensor digitorum brevis

Sensory- anterolateral leg and Dorsum of foot

32
Q

What do you see with damaged common peroneal nerve

A

Can’t lift foot because it supplies extensor digitorum brevis
Get foot drop

33
Q

What does the posterior cutaneous nerve of the thigh innervate

A

Sensory innervation
Posterior thigh, posterior leg and part of the perineum

34
Q

What does the pudendal nerve supply

A

Motor- skeletal muscle: perineum, external urethral and anal sphincter, levator ani muscle
Sensory- penis, clitoris and most of the perineal skin

35
Q

Nerve roots of sacral plexus nerves

A

Superior gluteal- L4-S1
Inferior gluteal- L5-S2
Posterior cutaneous nerve- S1-S3
Pudendal- S2-S4
Sciatic- L4-S3

36
Q

Obturator externus and internus

A

Obturator externus- lumbar plexus
Obturator internus- sacral plexus L5-S2

37
Q

Where to do injection in buttocks

A

Avoid sciatic nerve
Superior outer quadrant is safe to inject
Sciatic inferior inside quadrant

38
Q

What is sciatica

A

Term used to describe symptoms that present within distribution of sciatic nerve
Pain over aspects of thigh or leg
Numbness/tingling of aspects thigh or leg paresthesia
Weakness of movement of the knee and ankle
Causes: disc prolapse- intervertebral disc, muscle entrapment from piriformis muscle, bony spinal pathology, osteoarthritis
Treatment: physical therapy, NSAIDS, local steroid injections, surgical repair (microdiscectomy, laminectomy)

39
Q

Stenosis

A

Narrowed spinal canal

40
Q

Spondylolisthesis

A

Vertebra slips forward

41
Q

Radiculopathy

A

Injury or damage to nerve roots in area where they leave the spine
Referred to as a punched nerve

42
Q

Spondylitis

A

Arthritis- long term inflammation of joints of spine
