approaches

Question 1

anterior approach to the hip (smith-petersen) superficial plane

Answer 1

sartorius (femoral nerve) and TFL (superior gluteal nerve)

Question 2

anterior approach to the hip (smith-petersen) deep plane

Answer 2

rectus femoris (femoral nerve) and gluteus medius (superior gluteal nerve)

Question 3

anterior approach to the hip (smith-petersen) dangers

Answer 3

lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, femoral nerve, ascending branch of lateral femoral circumflex artery

Question 4

anterolateral approach to the hip (Watson-Jones) plane

Answer 4

TFL and glut medius (both superior gluteal nerve)

Question 5

anterolateral approach to the hip (Watson-Jones) dangers

Answer 5

femoral nerve/artery/vein, abductor limp, femoral shaft fracture

Question 6

posterior approach to the hip (Moore or Southern) plane

Answer 6

no intervernous/muscular plane - glut maximus (inferior gluteal nerve)

Question 7

posterior approach to the hip (Moore or Southern) dangers

Answer 7

sciatic nerve, inferior gluteal artery, femoral vessels, superior gluteal artery and nerve, quadratus femoris, HO

Question 8

direct lateral approach to the hip plane

Answer 8

glut medius (superior gluteal nerve) and vastus lateralis (femoral nerve)

Question 9

direct lateral approach to the hip dangers

Answer 9

superior gluteal nerve, femoral nerve

medial parapatellar approach plane

Answer 10

rectus femoris (femoral nerve) and vastus medialis (femoral nerve)

Question 11

why do you approach the knee from the lateral side?

Answer 11

blood supply is medial

Question 12

medial parapatellar approach dangers

Answer 12

superior lateral genicular artery, infrapatellar branch of saphenous nerve, skin necrosis
