|
Term
|
Definition
The distal fibers of vastumus medialis.
Key for knee stability. (preventing pattler dislocation)
Opposes tension of vastus lateralis |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Sartorius, Gracilis, and semitendinosus tendons form pes anserinus
can flex the knee |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| almost always lateral because of vastus lateralis as well as tension from iliotibial band |

Definition
Opening in Adductor Magnus.
Bounded by Adductor Magus, Vastas medialis,
Femoral a, v.
Saphenous nerve |

|
Term
| Opoliteal Arteyr Aneurism |
|
Definition
Dilation of popliteal a in adductor canal.
Pain in popiteal fossa.
Ligation of femoral artery.
Blood can bypass occlusion in genicular anastomoses |
|
|
Term
Baker's cyst
(popliteal cyst) |
|
Definition
Collection of synovial fluid, from the
knee joint or bursa and formed a new sac in popliteal fossa. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Paralysis of hamstrings and muscles of leg and foot
Loss of movement inferior ot hte knee
sensation lost inferior to the knee except saphenous(branch of femoral) |

Definition
Tibialis posterior
Flex digitorm longus
post tibial a
post tibial v
tibial n
flex hallucis longus |
|
|
Term
| Posterior Compartment-induced syndrome |
|
Definition
Most Common
overuse or rapid build up of posterior leg muscles |
|
|
Term
| Hyperactive invertors vs everters |
|
Definition
Hyperactive evertors: flatten arches
Hyperactive invertors: elevate arches |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
follows medial edge of biceps femories tendon.
Winds around neck of fibula where it is vulnerable to injury
Deep fibular runs with Anterior Tibial a |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
loss of eversion(superficial)
dorsiflexion of the foot.(deep)
Sensory loss on lateral leg(superficial)
Sensory loss on dorsum of foot(deep) |
|
|
Term
Calcaneal tendon
(Achilies) |
|
Definition
| Plantaris, Soleus, Gastrocnemius tendons make the calcaneal |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Formed from branches of tibial and fibular
Lies on calcaneal tendon and accompanies small saphenous v posterior to lateral malleolus
Important in balance.
Provides sensation of posterior leg, heel, |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
lies on poplitelus muscle. Runs into foot with posterior tibial artery
Divides into medial and lateral plantar nerves in foot
Injury -> sensory loss in sole of foot. Motor loss in calf and plantar foot |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Narrow posterior width: loosely gripped
by the malleoli during plantar flexion.
most unstable
Wide anterior Width: Tightly gripped by
the malleoli during extension (dorsiflexion). Most stable |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
passes below inguinal ligament ->through remoral ring -> into femoral canal
may protrude though saphenous hiatus
Dangerous: sac may become strangulated
Aberrant obturator a. is vulnerable during repair |
