Pass Me the Joint
This joint binds the bones of the hindfoot (talus and calcaneus) together.
Originating from the iliac crest and sacrum, this muscle is the chief flexor of the hip and its tendon inserts at the lesser trochanter of the femur.
What is the iliopsoas?
This artery comes off the posterior division of the internal iliac artery and supplies the gluteus maximus.
What is the inferior gluteal nerve?
These 2 tricpes coxae muscles are innervated by the nerve to the obturator internus.
What are the obturator internus and superior gemellus muscles?
These 3 vessels pass through the femoral triangle.
What are the femoral artery, vein, and nerve?
This ligament of the knee limits extension and external rotation.
What is the oblique popliteal ligament?
This posterior thigh muscle is the only lower limb muscle to attach to the proximal fibula.
What is the biceps femoris?
This artery, a continuation of the external iliac artery, passes through the adductor hiatus to become the popliteal artery
What is the femoral artery?
The superior gluteal nerve arises from these 3 nerve roots.
What is posterior division of L4, L5, and S1?
In order to be considered a hamstring, you must originate from the ischial tuberosity, cross at least 2 joints, and be innervated by this nerve.
What is the tibial nerve?
This ligament is responsible for transferring the weight of the upper body to the ilium.
What are the interosseous SI ligaments?
This muscle in the adductor group is the only one to cross the knee joint.
What is gracilis?
The perforating branches of this artery supply blood to the hamstring muscles.
What is the deep femoral artery (profunda femoris)?
The femoral nerve turns into this nerve, which innervates the skin of the anterior/medial leg.
What is the saphenous nerve?
A positive Trendelenburg's sign indicates weakness in these 2 muscles.
What is the gluteus maximus and minimus?
These 2 muscles partially originate from the sacrotuberous ligament. (hint: they also share the same blood supply)
What are the piriformis and gluteus maximus?
This muscle makes up the lateral border of the femoral triangle but the medial border of the adductor canal.
What is the sartorius?
These 2 blood vessels are contained within the tarsal tunnel.
What is the posterior tibial artery and vein?
The common fibular nerve splits into these 2 branches after wrapping around the head of the fibula.
What is the superficial fibular nerve and deep fibular nerve?
Normal knee alignment in the frontal plane is referred to as this, because of the lateral angle of 170-175.
What is genu valgum?
This ankle ligament (composed of 3 parts) joins the medial malleolus of the tibia with 3 different tarsal bones.
What is the deltoid ligament?
The tibialis posterior inserts on every tarsal bone except this one.
What is the talus?
This artery, originating from the popliteal artery, runs down the anterior compartment of the leg and continues into the foot to become the dorsalis pedis artery.
What is the anterior tibial artery?
One of the lumbricals of the foot has its own innervation via this nerve, different from the other 3.
What is the medial plantar nerve? (lumbrical 1)
Out of the 3 fibularis muscles (tertius, longus, and brevis), this one is the only to NOT insert on the base of the 5th metatarsal.
What is fibularis longus?
