I like Big Gluts and I cannot lie
Anterior and Lateral Leg
Posterior Leg and Popliteal Fossa
100
A femoral hernia will travel through this structure.
What are the femoral ring and femoral canal?
100
These muscles flank the obturator internus and laterally rotate the thigh.
What are the superior and inferior gemelli?
100
Anterior leg compartment syndrome can result in damage to this nerve.
What is the deep fibular nerve?
100
You won't be an intern if you remember what this "nerve" really is.
What is the tendon of the plantaris?
200
In an adult one needs to be weary of a break in the neck of the femur because the blood supply to the head of the femur comes from these two branches of the profunda femoris artery.
What are the retinacular arteries (lateral and medial circumflex femoral arteries)?
200
All of the vascular supply to the posterior thigh comes from these.
What are the perforating branches of the profunda femoris?
200
This small ligament is the most important for maintaining the medial arch of the foot.
What is the calcaneonavicular (spring) ligament?
200
If a person is unable to "unlock" the knee to flex it has damage to this nerve?
What is the tibial nerve?
300
This muscle of the anterior thigh is part of the "goose's foot"
What is the sartorius?
300
DAILY DOUBLE!!!!!!
What is the tensor fascia lata?
300
A stab wound to the anterolateral leg resulting in weakness in plantar flexion of the foot has damaged this nerve,
What is the superficial fibular nerve?
300
A person who is unable to prevent anterior displacement of the femur with respect to the tibia has severed this ligament.
What is the posterior cruciate ligament?
400
This medial thigh muscle feels "left out" because it is the only one that is not exclusively innervated by the obturator nerve.
What is the adductor magnus hamstring part?
400
A patient that was stabbed in the rear and now walks oddly, his pelvis falling to one side might have severed this nerve.
What is the superior gluteal nerve?
400
These two muscles of the anterior and lateral compartments share the same bone of insertion yet have opposite actions and different innervations.
What are the Fibularis longus and the tibialis anterior?
400
The tendon of this muscle is the reason why a tear to the fibular collateral ligament results in a meniscal tear whereas it does for the tibial side.
What is the popliteus muscle?
500
This is the only muscle that laterally rotates the thigh and is innervated by the obturator nerve.
What is the obturator externus?
500
These are the origin and innervation of the "odd man out" of the hamstring muscles.
What are the linea aspera and common fibular (peroneal) nerve?
500
In the absence of a dorsalis pedis, this artery becomes enlarged and replaces it.
What is the perforating branch of the fibular artery?
500
These two arteries, that both have "Descending" in their names are possible routes of collateral circulation to the leg if there is a blockage at the level of the adductor hiatus.
What are the descending genicular and descending lateral femoral circumflex arteries?
