Which artery runs with the deep genicular?

Saphenous nerve

obruator nerve is derived from the

internal illiac artery

obruator runs with the

anterior and posterior obturatore nerves and branches at the adductor brevis

branches of the obruator artery

acetabular artery which supplies the head of the femur through the liagmentum teres

branches of the popliteal artery

medial and lateral superior genicular arteries medial and lateral inferior genicular arteries middle genicular artery and branches

what are the contributors of the genicular anastomosis?

descending branches of the deep femoral and femoral artery genicular branches of the popliteal artery ascending branches of anterior and posterior tibial arteries

anterior tibial artery facts

terminal branch of the popiteal artery arises at inferior border of popliteus muscles passes anterior to the interosseus membrane

anterior tibial artery is accompanied by?

deep peroneal artery

the deep fermoral artery passes posteriorly to

adductor longus muscle

medial formal circumflex has two branches.

ascending branch : anastomoses with inferior gluteal artery | transverse: anastomoses with lateral fermoral circumflex artery

femoral nerve damage

loss the extension due to qradrants and weak flexion of the hip

lateral cutaneous loss

meralgia paraesthetica

obruator nerve damage

loss of adductors of the thigh, medial aspect of the thigh

sciatic nerve

paralysis of hamstrings, muscle of the leg and foot. sensory supply of thigh and popliteal fossa

common peroneal nerve

foot drop , paralysis of the extensors of the ankle and elevators of the foot

tibal nerve paralysis

paralysis of muscles of posterior compartment of leg and sole of foot. loss of sensory over the posterior lateral aspect of the lower leg, the sole of the foot and dorsal skin of nail bed.

hiltons law

this law states that the nerve supplying the joint also supplies the muscles and skin of that joint.
