Part 2 Flashcards
9 item format of abdominal sectioning
Left hypochondriac, epigastric, right hypochondriac, left lateral abdominal, umbilical, right lateral abdominal, left inguinal, hypogastric, right inguinal
Mediastinum definition
Wall of organs including heart, esophagus, thymus, trachea, and major blood vessels that separates the right from the left pleural cavity
Most likely place for a hip fracture of an elderly patient
The anatomical neck of the femur
Skier’s fracture mechanism of injury
Fracture of the fibula due to extensive weight being placed on it from confined mobility of boot while twisting and turning and managing skis, individuals can typically still walk down mountain despite pain because THE FIBULA IS NOT WEIGHT BEARING
The part of the talus that interacts with the tibia and fibula
The dome of the talus
The balls of the feet or the balls of the hand correspond to the…
heads of the metatarsals and heads of the metacarpals respectively
Large attachment site vs medium vs small on a bone terms
trochanter, tuberocity, tubercle
Great saphenous vein
Long superficial vein returning blood on medial side from foot, leg and thigh and emptying into the femoral vein at the level of the femoral triangle. Often this is harvested for a CABG
Important thing to remember when using the great saphenous vein in a CABG
Veins have valves, so it has to be oriented properly to allow blood flow
NAVL
The femoral nerve, artery, vein (hugged together within femoral sheath), and lymphatics (in the order lateral to medial) that travel together in the femoral triangle
Borders of the femoral triangle
The inguinal ligament, adductor longus, and sartorius
Saphenous branch of femoral nerve
Goes below knee, must be identified in ACL surgery and avoided cut to protect sensation in pockets on the leg
Femoral nerve origin and muscles it innervates
L2-4, innervates anterior thigh muscles such as quads, sartorius, and pectineus
Why don’t we lose blood flow to the glute area when sitting for prolonged periods?
The arteries perforate through the adductor magnus around to the back side at the adductor hiatus
Blood supply to vastus lateralis and what is the vastus lateralis often used for
Descending limb of lateral circumflex femoral artery, as an injection site IM
Trendelenberg gait
A result of paralysis or pareisis of the gluteus medius on the contralateral side causes swinging of leg around, remember glute medius helps by raising hip girdle on contralateral side
Sciatic nerve origin and components
Arises from L4-S3, tibial nerve which wraps around to innervate posterior leg, and common fibular nerve to innervate the anterior leg
Innervation of biceps femoris long head vs short head
Long head is tibial portion and short head is common fibular portion of sciatic nerve
Common finding on knee aspiration with an ACL tear
Middle genicular artery runs alongside ACL and tears with it so blood will be found, 1 of 6 genicular arteries
Name the 6 deep external rotators of the hip
- Gemelli superior and inferior
- Obturator externus/internus
- Quadratus femoris
- Piriformis
Adductor hiatus
Break in adductor magnus muscle to allow for passage of femoral artery and vein, changing names to popliteal
Pes Anserine
Attachment site of 3 different muscles, sartorius, semitendinosus, and gracilis on the medial lower face of the knee
The gastrocnemius is bi-articulate, meaning…
It crosses 2 joints
What are the 4 major types of laxatives
1) fiber and bulk forming agents
2) surfactants
3) osmotic agents
4) stimulant laxatives
