true or false: fracture of the femoral neck are less common in elderly individuals

A

false (they are more common)

31
Q

Anterior Compartment

A

-Hip Flexors - Knee Extensors
- innervated by Femoral Nerve
- blood: femoral artery, deep femoral artery and lateral circumflex artery

32
Q

Anterior compartment muscles

A

rectus femoris
sartorius
V. lateralis
V. medialis
V. intermedius

33
Q

sartorius

A

O: ASIS
I: Medial proximal tibia (pes anserinus)
Inn: Femoral nerve
Blood: Deep femoral artery, lateral femoral circumflex artery
Actions: hip flexion, Abd, ER, knee flexion/IR

34
Q

Iliacus

A

O: iliac fossa
I: lesser trochanter of the femur
Inn: femoral nerve
blood: iliolumbar artery
actions: hip flexion, ER, Unilateral -later flexion of trunk: Bilateral - raise trunk from supine position

35
Q

Psoas major

A

O: lateral surfaces of vertebrae T12-L4 and costal facets of the vertebrae L1-L5
I:lesser trochanter of the femur
Inn: direct branches of lumbar plexus (L1-L3)
Actions: Hip flexion, ER; unilateral - lateral flexion of trunk - raise trunk from supine position

36
Q

what makes up the femoral triangle

A

SIA

Sartorius
Inguinal ligament
Adductor long

37
Q

what is your floor for the femoral triangle

A

pectinous
illiopsoas muscles

38
Q

What are 4 options for a coronary artery bypass graft?

A

internal thoracic arter
radial artery
gastroepiploic artery
Great saphenous vein

39
Q

great saphenous starts where? where does it empty to?
ascends on ___ leg and thigh

A

dorms of the foot
femoral vein
medial

40
Q

what ligament holds down structures passing anterior to the hip joint during flexion - ASIS to pubic tubercle

A

inguinal ligament

41
Q

this nerve has a relation with the retroinguinal space

A

femoral nerve

42
Q

macular compartment consist of

A

iliopsoas muscle
federal nerve

43
Q

the vascular compartment consist (vascular lacuna)

A

femoral artery and vein
lymphatics
genitofemoral nerve (femoral branch)

44
Q

what is the femoral sheath?

A

continuation of the transversalis and iliopsoas fascia
allows gliding during movement of the thigh

45
Q

What is the femoral canal ?

A

medial compartment of the femoral sheath
allows expansion of femoral vein
site of hernias

46
Q

A

weak point of the abdominal wall

47
Q

what happens if the hernia passes through saphenous opening?

A

It can enlarge

48
Q

medial compartment

A

hipp adductors
stabilize the pelvis in Coronal/sagittal planes
INN: obturator nerve
Blood: DFA, LFCA, OA

49
Q

Medial compartment consist of?

A

Pectineus
Add. Longus
Add. Brevis
Add. Magnus

what goes through Adductor canal

A

femoral artery
femoral vein
saphenous nerve

51
Q

what goes through adductor hiatus

A

Femoral artery
Femoral Vein

52
Q

anterior branch

A

longus
brevis
gracilis
pectineus

53
Q

posterior branch

A

Magnus (adductor and hamstring portion)

54
Q

groin injury

A

strain/sprain /stretching of the proximal attachments of the medial thigh adductors

if tearing occurs - it is typically at the proximal attachment of the muscle

55
Q

strains of adductor longgus = riders strain

A

can have ossification of the tendons
due to active adduction of thighs to keep form falling off the horse
