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 |
