Q

What structures move through the greater sciatic foramen?

A

Piriformis Muscle
Sciatic Nerve
Superior/Inferior gluteal vessels and nerves
Pudendal Nerve (lesser sciatic foramen too)

Q

What is the function, vascular supply, and innervation of the gluteus maximus?

A

Function: Necessary for rising from seated position, climbing, running, and jumping (NOT walking)
Extends and rotates thighs

Vascular supply: Inferior gluteal artery (Branch of the internal iliac)

Innervation: Inferior gluteal nerve

20
Q

What are the three bursae of the posterior gluteal compartment?

A

Trochanteric bursa
Gluteofemoral bursa
Ischial (sciatic) bursa

21
Q

T/F Gluteus Medius and Gluteus minimus are the same muscle separated by the inferior gluteal nerve

A

False

Gluteus Medius and Gluteus minimus are the SAME muscle separated by the SUPERIOR gluteal nerve

22
Q

Where does the tensor of fascia lata insert into?

A

Iliotibial tract

Function: Tense the fascia lata

23
Q

What innervates the lateral gluteal compartment?

A

Superior gluteal nerve (This also splits one muscle to form the gluteus minimus and medius)

24
Q

What is the vascular supply of the lateral gluteal compartment?

A

Superior gluteal artery (branch of the internal iliac)

25
Q

What muscles functions to:

  • Hip ABduction with a free swinging limb
  • Tensor of fascia lata and anterior deep gluteal fibers act as medial rotators of the thigh
A

Lateral gluteal compartment

26
Q

What is the Trendelenburg test?

A

Evaluates the strength of contralateral gluteus medius
Patients stands upright and raises one foot off the ground
Contralateral gluteus should lower contralateral hip and raise ipsilateral hip
Needed to clear foot from the ground during swing phase of walking

If a patient fails this, an indicator is dragging feet when walking

27
Q
What do these muscles have in common?
Piriformis 
Superior gemellus
Obturator internus
Inferior gemellus
Obturator externus
Quadratus femoris
A

They are the six deep external rotators of the gluteus

28
Q

What is the function of the piriformis and obturator internus?

A

externally rotate the thigh and abduct flexed thigh

29
Q

What is the internal iliac artery a branch of?

A

Common iliac artery

30
Q

What branches off the internal iliac artery?

A

Superior gluteal and inferior gluteal artery

31
Q

What branches off the femoral artery?

A

medial femoral circumflex artery and the lateral femoral circumflex artery

32
Q

What artery does the medial femoral circumflex artery anastomoses with?

A

Inferior gluteal artery

33
Q

What artery does the lateral femoral circumflex artery anastomoses with?

A

Superior gluteal artery

34
Q

What is made by the fusing of all three pelvic bones?

A

Acetbular fossa

35
Q

Where does the femoral head insert into?

A

Acetabular labrum

36
Q

How many degrees of freedom does the synovial ball and socket joint have?

A

Q

What separates the sciatic notches?

A

38
Q

What are the ligaments of the ischial spine?
