Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
 Which artery is most at risk with a proximal tibial fracture? | popliteal artery |
| Compression of what vessel would lead to a weakened dorsalis pedis artery? | anterior tibial artery |
| Name the syndrome: acute medical problem following injury, surgery or repetetive muscle use - increased pressure within a confined spaced compresses neurovascular structures and impairs blood supply | compartment syndrome |
| What muscle can cause sciatic nerve impingement? |  piriformis *piriformis syndrome |
| What is contained in the femoral canal (2)? | fat deep inguinal lymph node |
| Name 2 motor deficits caused by compression of the deep fibular nerve | weakened dorsiflexion (foot drop) weakened digital extension |
| Is the femoral canal open to the peritoneal cavity? | NO, covered by parietal peritoneum |
| Which movement of the knee joint is limited by the MCL? | lateral displacement of tibia on femur |
| What do respiratory crackles suggest? | air/fluid interface |
| What part of the body is suspected of pathological problems when both pulmonary problems and edema is presented? | Cardiac problems |
| Name the disorder: embolus that wraps around the bifurcation of the pulmonary trunk |  saddle embolus |
| Trace the pathway from the femoral vein to the pulmonary arteries | femoral vein external iliac vein common iliac vein inferior vena cava right atrium right ventricle pulmonary trunk |
| A Tinel sign is a sign of? | nerve compression |
| What nerve passes through the tarsal tunnel? | Tibial nerve |
| What types of movements occur at the subtalar (talocalcaneal) joint? |  inversion eversion (no dorsiflexion or plantarflexion) |
| Where would lymph drain from injury to the soft tissue of the ankle? | Popliteal nodes to deep inguinal nodes |
| What nerve provides sensory innervation for the medial aspect of the leg? From what nerve does it branch off of? | Saphenous nerve femoral nerve |
| What type of bursitis can come about from being on your knees for too long? | Prepatellar bursitis |
| Which node will drain infection of the prepatellar bursa? | Superficial inguinal nodes |
| What arteries are compromised by an intracapsular hip fracture? | Retinacular arteries |
| In younger patients, why are hip replacements not always required? | Obturator artery supply decreases with age |
| Why is hip replacement not necessary for all extracapsular fractures? | Blood supply to the head is not usually interrupted |
