How many compartments are in the thigh?
three

anterior, posterior, medial
How many compartments are in the leg?
4

anterior, posterior, medial, laterla
What is compartment syndrome and what does it cause?

What is the treatment?
it is increased pressure within a fascial compartment

causes anoxia (lack of O2) which leads to necrosis of tissue damage

treatment--fasciotomy
The ligaments of the hip joint are tightened when?
a person is standing upright or extending at the hip joint
What can be said of the strength of the ligaments of the hip joint?
they are strong anteriorly and weak posteriorly
When does damage to the hip joint occur?
when the hip is flexed
What two arteries supply the hip joint?
medial circumflex femoral artery

lateral circumflex femoral artery
Movement of the hip joint in the AP axis causes?
transverse axis?
vertical axis?
abduction and adduction
flexion and extension
medial and lateral rotation
Muslces of the Anterior compartment of the thigh are innervated by what?
femoral nerve
What muscles are found in the anterior compartment?
iliopsoas (iliacus and psoas major)
pectineus
sartorius
the quadriceps femoris
1. vastus lateralis
2. vastus medialis
3. vastus intermedius
4. rectus femoris
What muscles make up the iliopsoas and where do they attach?
the iliacus and psoas major

they attach to the lesser trochanter
What is the action of the iliacus?
flexion of the hip joint
What is the action of the psoas major?
flexion of hip joint and flexion of the vertebrae
What is the origin and action of the pectineus?
origin is the pectineal line

action is the synergist muscle in flexion, abduction and lateral rotation of the hip joint

flexion of the knee
What is the origin and action of the rectus femoris?
origin is the AIIS

and the action is extension of the knee joint and acts as a synergist in the flexion of the hip joint
What is the origin and action of the vastus lateralis?
origin is the greater trochanter and the linea aspera

movement is the extension of the knee joint
What is the origin and action of the vastus medialis?
origin is the linea aspera

the movement is extension of the knee joint
NAVEL
nerve- femoral nerve
artery- femoral artery
vein-femoral vein
empty space- lymphatics
ligament- lacunar ligament
femoral hernias are normally located where?
lateral and inferior to the pubic tubercle
Where can femoral hernias occur other than the normal area?
along the medial aspect of the femoral sheath through the empty space
What is the movement of the medial compartment of the thigh?
adduction
medial compartment muscles are innervated by what nerve?
the obturator nerve
What muscles are in the medical compartment of the thigh?
adductor brevis
adductor longus
adductor magnus
gracilis
What is the action of the adductor longus?
principle adductor and medial rotator of the hip joint
What is the action of the adductor brevis?
adducts and medially rotates att the hip joint
What is the action of the gracilis?
synergist that will adduct, flex, and medially rotate at the hip joint
When the gracilis passes what area it becomes what?
passes the adductor hiatus and becomes the pes anserinus
the posterior compartment of the thigh is innervated by what?
sciatic nerve
What muscles are in the posterior compartment of the thigh?
biceps femoris (long head and short head)

semimembranous
semitendinosus
