1
Q

Peroneal

A

Synonymous with Fibular

2
Q

Where is the great saphenous vein relative to the fascia lata

A

Superficial

3
Q

Course of Great Saphenous Vein

A

From the foot up the medial leg, around the medial epicondyle of the femur, then back to the anterior aspect of the thigh where it enters the saphenous opening to drain into the femoral vein

4
Q

What does the lesser saphenous vein drain into

A

Popliteal Vein

5
Q

Iliotibial Tract

A

Lateral Thickening of Fascia Lata

6
Q

Importance of Fascia Lata

A

Important in Venous Return

7
Q

Saphenous Opening

A

Gap/Hiatus in fascia lata - Great saphenous vein passes through

8
Q

Source of Femoral Artery

A

External iliac artery - going under inguinal ligament, becoming femoral

9
Q

Where does the Adductor Canal begin and end

A

Apex of Femoral Triangle to Adductor Hiatus

10
Q

Apex of Femoral Triangle

A

Where the adductor longus and sartorius meet

11
Q

Pectinius

A

Part of Muscle floor of Femoral Triangle

Thigh Flexor/Rotator/Adductor

Part of medial & anterior compartments

12
Q
A
13
Q

Longest Muscle in body

A

Sartorius

14
Q

What compartment of the thigh is the sartorius in

A

Anterior (Flexors)

**Femoral Nerve

15
Q

Attachments of Sartorius

A

Origin - ASIS

Insertion - Proximal end of tibia below medial condyle

16
Q

Actions of Sartorius

A

Thigh flexion/abduction/external rotaion

Leg flexion/internal rotation

17
Q

Quadriceps Tendon

A

All four muscles go together to form this tendon which goes over the patellar

18
Q
A
19
Q
A
20
Q

Where do the Tibialis Anterior and Posterior Attach (vaguely)

A

Medial Foot

21
Q

Action of Tibialis Anterior

A

Dorsiflexion & Inversion

22
Q

Action of Tibialis Posterior

A

Planterflexion & Inversion

23
Q

Where is the femoral artery medially/laterally relative to the inguinal ligament

A

Halfway along

24
Q

Which muscles of the thigh are used in grafting

A

Gracilis & Plantaris

25
Q

Where is the common fibular nerve most susceptible to injury

A

Fibular head

26
Q

Cause of varicose veins

A

Incompetent veins in the lower limb

Blood going back up is slower; valves become incompetent and blood pools causing varicose veins which protrude/becoming purply

27
Q

Attachments of Inguinal Ligament

A

ASIS

Pubic Tubercle

28
Q

Origin of External/Internal Iliac Arteries

A

Abdominal Aorta draining into Common iliac artery

29
Q

Obutrator Artery

A

Branch of Internal Iliac Artery

Supplies - Femoral Head, Obturator Muscle, Adductors

30
Q

Origin of Obturator Nerve

A

L2-4

31
Q

What does the obturator nerve innervate

A

Adductor Muscles (medial thigh)

32
Q

Paths of the obturator nerve and artery

A

They both pass through the obturator foramen and have anterior/posterior branches which straddle the adductor brevis

33
Q

Main terminal branch of Femoral Nerve

A

Saphenous Nerve

34
Q

Sesamoid Bone

A

Bone embedded in tendon or muscle

e.g. Patellar

35
Q

Arrangement of structures at medial malleolus

A

Tom Dick And Very Nervous Harry

Tibialis Posterior
flexor Digitorum longus
tibial Artery
tibial Vein
tibial Nerve
flexor Hallucis longus
