Exam 2 - LE Flashcards
(37 cards)
Tibia
- Most common leg bone to be fractured
- relatively poor blood supply
- anteromedial surface is bare
-soleal (oblique) line on
posterior surface
Fibula
- Lateral malleolus , ankle stability
- site for muscle attachment
crural fascia
attachment to anterior and medial borders of tibia that leaves bare area
Located in superficial posterior compartment, the sural nerve runs with the
lesser saphenous vein
Other cutaneous nerves of superficial posterior compartment
lateral sural cutaneous nerve LSCN
Medial sural cutaneous
MSN
Push-off muscle for walking, jumping, running?
Flexor hallucis longus
Deep Posterior Compartment nerve supply and blood supply
tibialis nerve
posterior tibial artery
Paralysis of which muscle of the anterior compartment results in foot drop?
Tibialis anterior
Muscle in anterior compartment that is sometimes missing, but helps with foot dorsiflexion and eversion.
peroneus (fibularis) tertius
anterior tibial artery becomes what artery at ankle joint
dorsalis pedis
dp pulse
What accompanies anterior tibial artery extensor hallucis longus and tibialis anterior muscles
deep peroneal fibular nerve
which muscle uses lateral malleolus as pulley and is easily palpated?
peroneus fibularis longus
