|
Fracture of the hip most often occurs here: |
Femoral neck |
|
|
Name the two hip joint ligaments at risk in a car accident: |
Iliofemoral
Ischiofemoral |
|
|
Name the three ligaments in the hip joint |
Iliofemoral Ischiofemoral Pubofemoral |
|
|
Discuss the angle of inclination of the hip joint r/t aging: |
Adult ~ 126 degrees
Elderly ~ 120 degrees, closer to 90 degrees creates more strain & greater risk of fracture |
|
|
What is the primary blood supply for the femoral head & neck |
Medial Circumflex Femoral artery
|
|
|
The anterior cruciate ligament runs from: |
the anterior tibial plateau to the intercondylar area of the femur |
|
|
The posterior cruciate ligament runs from: |
the posterior tibial plateau to the intercondylar area of the femur |
|
|
What are the bursae of the knee |
Prepatellar Infrapatellar Suprapatellar |
|
|
Describe a Baker's Cyst |
Popliteal cyst joint effusions can sometimes push the synovial lining out of the posterior aspect of the fibrous joint capsule & create a synovial swelling in the popliteal fossa |
|
|
Define unhappy triad |
Medial Meniscus Medial collateral ligament Anterior cruciate ligament |
|
|
The laateral meniscus is attached to the posterior cruciate ligament via the? |
Posterior meniscofemoral ligament |
|
|
Function of the Coronary & transverse ligaments of the knee |
Stabilization
:) |
|
|
Describe Pott's Fracture |
Eversion sprains where the foot is abducted from the tibia stressing the deltoid ligaments causing an avulsion of the medial malleolus & fracture of the distal fibula. |
|
|
Define Varus: |
knee = Bowlegged = genu varum hip = coxa vara |
|
|
Define Valgus: |
knee = Knock-kneed = genu valgum hip = coxa valga |
|
|
Describe Trendelenburg gait |
Gluteus medius & minimus knocked out causing the contralateral side of the pelvis to drop/sag.
Presentation: leaning to the side of the problem |
|
|
What structures are innervated by the superior gluteal nerve: |
gluteus minimus & medius |
|
|
What nerve is responsible for quadriceps paralysis? |
Femoral nerve |
|
|
Discuss foot drop & steppage gait: |
Deep fibular nerve.
Difficulty walking & a tingling sensation along the left lower limb
High-stepping gait Waddling gait Swinging out of the leg gait. |
|
|
Discuss ankle strain's order of ligament rupture/impairment |
Anterior talofibular ligament calcaneofibular ligament posterior talofibular ligament |
|
|
Discuss ankle inversion: |
most common type of ankle injury
Failure to evaluate & treat the fibular head can cause continued pain in the lower leg that persists after the sprain has healed |
|
|
Discuss ankle eversion |
The foot is abducted from the tibia Because the deltoid ligament is so strong, it usually causes avulsion of the medial malleolus
Further eversion will often result in fracture of the distal fibula (potts fracture) |
|
|
Discuss pes planus |
Flat Foot
talus anteromedial glide navicular/cuboid inversion flattening of medial longitudinal (inside) arch VaLgus pattern of Achilles Tendon |
