Lower Limb 1&2

MSK

QuestionAnswer
• Ball and socket joint • Pelvic bone and femur Hip joint
• Hinge joint • Femur, tibia, patella • Tibia and fibula linked by interosseous membrane Knee joint
• Hinge joint • Tibia, fibula and tarsal bone Ankle joint
• Anterior to the edge of the SV2 vertebra in the pelvis • Anterior to the knee and ankle joints • Directly over the support base formed by the feet on the ground center of gravity
heel strike to heel strike Gait cycle
• Stance: 60% • Swing: 40% Phases of gait
Head of the femur is covered with articular cartilage
• Partially covered with cartilage • Deepened by fibrocartilage Acetabulum
• Surrounded by a capsule: • Proximally attaching to the acetabulum • Distally attaching to the femoral neck Femur head
Oriented in a spiral fashion, becomes taut when joint is extended • Ilio-femoral ligament: AIIS to intertrochanteric line & prevents hyperextension • Pubo-femoral ligament: pubic bone to femur • Ischio-femoral ligament: Ischium to femur Ligaments of the Joint Capsule
Blood to hip • Branches of medial and lateral circumflex arteries • Inferior gluteal artery • Branch of the superior gluteal Trochanteric anastomosis
Blood supply to hip • Branches medial and lateral circumflex arteries • Branch of 1st perforating branch of profunda femoris artery • Branch of inferior gluteal artery Cruciate anastomosis
Blood to femur head • Medial and lateral circumflex femoral arteries gives rise to Retinacular branches
Blood supply to femur head • Arises as a branch from the obturator artery • Located in the ligament of head of femur • Decreased or absent as you get older Acetabular branch of obturator artery
• damages the retinacular arteries • compromises blood supply to the head of femur • risk of avascular necrosis Intra-capsular – fracture of the femoral neck
• does not affect blood supply to the head of femur Extra-capsular – intertrochanteric fracture
Common in individuals > 60 years old Displaced intra and extracapsular fractures can result in shortening and external rotation of the leg Proximal Femoral Fractures
Normal: 120-135 Coxa vara: <120 Coxa valga: >135 Femoral Neck Anomalies
fracture caused a decrease in the angle, thus creating a shorter right limb. This decrease in angle between neck and shaft is called acquired coxa vara
lies posterolateral to the bony pelvis and proximal end of the femur Gluteal Region
• piriformis • gemellus superior • obturator internus • gemellus inferior • quadratus femoris Gluteal Region Lateral rotators
gluteus maximus Gluteal Region extensor
• gluteus medius • gluteus minimus Gluteal Region Abductors and medial rotators
branches of sacral plexus Gluteal Region MOTOR & SENSORY INNERVATION
greater and lesser sciatic foramen Gluteal Region OPENINGS
branches of internal iliac Gluteal Region BLOOD SUPPLY
• Superior gluteal nerve • Abducts thigh/hip joint • Stabilizes the knee in extension Tensor fasciae lata
• Inferior gluteal nerve • Extends the flexed thigh/hip joint • Lateral stabilizer of the hip and knee • Abducts and assists in lateral rotation of thigh/ hip joint Gluteus maximus
• Abductsand medially rotates the thigh/hip joint • Prevents excessive downward tilt of the opposite pelvis during its swing phase Gluteus medius & minimus
on the stance leg (weight bearing limb) prevents excessive downward tilt of the opposite, unsupported pelvis during its swing phase Contraction of the gluteus medius and minimus
if the superior gluteal nerve is injured, the pelvis on the unsupported side drops when the patient is asked to stand on the affected limb • Waddling gait Positive Trendelenburg sign
• Nerve to piriformis (S1 & S2) • lateral rotator of the thigh/hip joint • abducts flexed thigh/hip joint Piriformis
• Nerve to quadratus femoris • lateral rotator of the thigh/hip joint • abducts flexed thigh/hip joint Inferior gemellus
• Nerve to quadratus femoris • lateral rotator of the thigh/hip joint Quadratus femoris
• Nerve to obturator internus • lateral rotator of the thigh/hip joint • abductsflexed thigh/hip joint Superior gemellus
• Nerve to obturator internus • lateral rotator of the thigh/hip joint • abductsflexed thigh/hip joint Obturator internus
Safest place: btw iliac crest and ASIS Gluteal Intramuscular Injection
1. Superior clunial nerve (dorsal rami L1-3) 2. Medial clunial nerve (dorsal rami S1-S3) 3. Inferior clunial nerve (ventral rami S1-3 - ascending branches from the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve) 4. Iliohypogastric nerve Cutaneous innervation of the gluteal region
Branches of the inferior gluteal, superior gluteal, obturator and femoral arteries, interconnect to form an anastomotic network giving blood supply to the Gluteal Region Blood
• Loose connective tissue • Fat • Cutaneous nerves • Superficial veins • Blood supply to the skin • Lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes Superficial fascia
