Superior gluteal artery Inferior gluteal artery Medial circumflex femoral artery Wraps around neck femur, hip fracture (fracture neck of femur) impacts medial circumflex artery. Perforating Deep femoral artery (hamstrings) Popliteal artery & vein Continues from femoral artery - big anterior thigh artery, passes from anterior to posterior. Small saphenous vein.
How could you injure Posterior Femoral Cutaneous Nerve? Where is it?
Located near sciatic nerve, splits under piriformis. Supplies area of ischial tuberosity, also branch runs to genitalia. Bike rides, thigh tourniquette during knee replacement.
A woman was involved in a moderate speed, head-on collision.CC was a sore right hip and an inability to move her thigh. Physical exam revealed the involved limb was adducted, flexed and medially/internally rotated. Xrays revealed a posterior dislocation of the right hip joint and fracture of the posterior margin of the acetabulum. What nerve is affected?
Sciatic nerve because it is closest to fracture of acetabulum.
What is the Curual Fascia?
Continues with fascia lata of thigh. Forms retinacula, band of fascia helps hold long tendons in place. Compartment syndrome may arise from internal bleeding.
