Describe the unique innervation of the lumbricals
1st: Medial plantar nerve
2nd-4th: Lateral plantar nerve
Popliteus
What is unlocks the knee by rotation the femur on a fixed tibia?
True or False: Intertrochanteric fractures of the femur do not involve femoral neck therefore femoral neck blood supply is preserved.
True!
Which type of fracture can lead to osteonecrosis of the femoral head? What artery?
Femoral Neck Fx - medial femoral circumflex artery
Pectineus
What is the Femoral artery?
Hip abductors and their innervation and arterial supply
Gluteus Minimus, Gluteus medius, Tensor fascia lata
Superior gluteal nerve and artery
The fibrous, connective tissue layer that overlies all 4 of the layers of the foot
Plantar aponeurosis
Gluteus Maxiumus
What is the inferior gluteal nerve?
Rectus Femoris
What is flex the hip and extend the knee?
These are the three injuries that make up the "unhappy triad".
What are:
1. Medial meniscus
2. MCL
3. ACL
The two superficial veins of the lower limb and how the run.
What are:
The great saphenous vein - medially along entire limb
The small saphenous vein - laterally then posterior
Which of the quad muscles both flexes the hip and extends the knee?

The action dorsal interossei muscles perform.
Dab & Pad
Dorsal interossei ABduct
Plantar interossei ADDuct
The lateral compartment of the leg.
What is the superficial fibular nerve?
Dorsal interosseous
What is abduct digits 2-4 and flex the MTP?
Fracture of the proximal fibula can cause injury to what nerve? What could be the PE findings if this is damaged.
Common fibular (superficial fibular, deep fibular)
Foot drop, Loss of eversion, loss of sensation
Biceps femoris
What is the deep femoral artery?
The 3 arches of the foot and their function.
Medial arch, lateral arch and transverse arch
They absorb and transmit forces during walking and standing.
Veins from the greater and lesser saphenous veins come together on the foot via ____________.
Dorsal Venous Arch
Damage to the Femoral nerve would cause what PE findings?
Impaired flexion at the hip
Impaired extension at the knee
**Paralysis of Quads femoris
Quadratus Femoris
What is laterally rotates the thigh at the hip?

Sensory deficit of the superficial fibular nerve presenting as numbness on the dorsum of his foot involving the hallux, 3rd, and 4th toes
Tibialis posterior
What is the posterior tibial artery?
Name the 7 nerves that gluteal region from the pelvis through the greater sciatic foramen.
1. the superior gluteal nerve
2. sciatic nerve
3. nerve to the quadratus femoris
4. nerve to the obturator internus
5. posterior cutaneous nerve of the thigh
6. pudendal nerve
7. inferior gluteal nerve
