this procedure is performed to relieve pressure d/t compartment syndrome in the thigh
fasciotomy
these 5 muscles make up the adductor compartment
adductor longus
adductor magnus
adductor brevis
pectineus
gracillis
it is considered a hip fracture if it occurs between the femoral head and no more than 5cm distal to this structure
lesser trochanter
injury to the sciatic nerve or this nerve will result in loss of sensation between the first and second toes
deep peroneal nerve
the femoral artery splits into these two arteries
____ (deep)
____ (superficial and becomes the popliteal)
Profunda artery
superficial femoral artery
this movement is difficult with a Quadriceps Tendon Rupture
knee/leg extension
the ischium contains these 4 main points
superior ischial ramus
inferior ischial ramus
ischial tuberosity
ischial body
this type of bone has a high surface area which allows for high metabolic activity
cancellous bone
this nerve is blocked when anaesthetic is injected into the adductor canal during knee replacement surgery
saphenous nerve
the popliteal artery divides into these two arteries
anterior tibial artery
posterior tibial artery
***
femoral
to superficial femoral
to popliteal
to ant/posterior tibial arteries
this test
-determines the stability of the ACL
-hip flexed 45 degrees, knee flexed 90 degrees with examiner sitting on foot
-examiner uses both hands to pull tibia anteriorly
-positive if the Tibia is easily displaced anteriorly
Drawer test for ACL
before reaching its distal attachment (the lesser trochanter of the femur), the iliopsoas muscle (made of psoas major, psoas minor, and iliacus) runs over the ______ and under the _______
superior pubic ramus
inguinal ligament
this type of bone
-is highly dense
-bears majority of weight
-creates protective barrior
-surrounded by nutrient rich "periosteum"
cortical bone
the sciatic nerve splits into these two nerves
tibial nerve
common peroneal nerve (common fibular nerve)
external rotation of the ankle will result in this injury
high ankle sprain
this test
-determines the stability of the ACL
-knee is placed at 20-30 degrees (put a towel under leg)
-examiner stabilizes femur with one hand and pulls the tibia anteriorly with other hand
-positive if the Tibia is easily displaced anteriorly
Lachmann test for ACL
these three structures are considered "suprapiriform" (run through the greater sciatic foramen above the piriformis)
superior gluteal vein, artery, nerve
this ligament prevents hyperextension of the hip joint
iliofemoral ligament
the femoral nerve turns into this nerve which terminates on the medial aspect of the foot
Saphenous nerve
inversion of the ankle will result in this injury
low ankle sprain
these 6 symptoms are known as the "6 P's of Compartment syndrome"
pulselessness
poikilothermia
pallor
pain
paralysis
parasthesia
these 6 muscles are known as the "hip rotator muscles"
piriformis
obturator externus
obturator internus
superior gemellus
inferior gemellus
quadratus femoris
these four muscles are known as the hip extensor muscles
semitendinosus
semimembranosis
biceps femoris
gluteus maximus
match the nerve with the thigh compartment it supplies
anterior obturator nerve
medial femoral nerve
posterior sciatic nerve
anterior = femoral nerve
medial = obturator nerve
posterior = sciatic nerve
the base of the popliteus muscle is an important landmark for which two arteries
anterior tibial artery
tibioperoneal trunk (splits into fibular artery and posterior tibial artery)
