What the is sacroiliac joint?
The fibula forms this distal protrusion.
What is the lateral malleolus.
This the most POWERFUL extensor of the hip.
What is the gluteus maximus?
Compression/tear of this nerve results in foot drop.
What is the common peroneal nerve?

What are the synovial sheaths?
This is the cause of carpal tunnel syndrome.
What is the compression of the median nerve?
This vein runs deep with the brachial artery.
What is the basilic vein?
These bones fuse to form the obturator foramen.
What are the ischium and the pubis?
The trochlea is associated with this arm bone.
Compression of these two nerves causes pain and weakness of the adductor muscles.
What is the femoral and obturator nerve?
This condition is a laterally bent MTP join.
What is the hallux valgus?
Deep veins of the arm are unique for this reason.
They are paired with arteries.
This joint ONLY articulates the upper axial skeleton to the appendicular skeleton.
What is the sternoclavicular joint.
The acetabulum is associated with this structure.
What is the pelvis?
This bone is for muscle attachment only (no structural support).
What is the fibula?
Damage to the radial nerve causes inability to extend the wrist which is known as what.
What is "Saturday Night Paralysis"?
This is the vein within the popliteal fossa.
What is the lesser saphenous vein?
T/F: The adductor longus acts across two joints?
What is false?
The ankle bone is AKA.

The paralysis of these two muscles causes abnormal gait that affects the non-weight bearing side.
What is the gluteus medius and minimus?
Damage to this nerve causes difficulty for foot eversion after a blow to the leg below the knee.
Note* this does not cause foot drop
What is the superficial peroneal nerve?
Compression/tear of this nerve results in foot drop.
What is the common peroneal nerve?
