contents of adductor canal
saphenous nerve
superficial femoral artery
superficial femoral vein
nerve supply to sartorius ?
femoral nerve
actions of sartorius?
flexes the knee and hip
assists in medial rotation of the tibia on the femur (e.g. placing right heel onto the knee)
which compartment is sartorius in ?
superficial anterior compartment of the thigh
muscles responsible for inversion of the foot?
tibialis anterior and tibialis posterior
Examination reveals a ‘claw hand’ deformity of the patient’s right hand, and an X-ray confirms a fracture of the medial epicondyle.
What are the roots of the most likely affected nerve?
C8, T1 - ulnar nerve
deformity due to the paralysis of intrinsic hand muscles. This condition is frequently associated with fractures of the medial epicondyle, which can result in ulnar nerve injury.
