27
VASCULAR SYSTEM Femoral Artery
28
VASCULAR SYSTEM Popliteal Artery
29
VASCULAR SYSTEM Schematic View - venous system
30
VASCULAR SYSTEM Superficial Veins
31
VASCULAR SYSTEM Deep Veins
32
VASCULAR SYSTEM Lymphatic Drainage
33
SPECIAL ANATOMY Femoral Triangle
* Boundaries * sartorius * inguinal ligament * adductor longus * Femoral Sheath (lateral → medial) * femoral nerve (outside) * femoral artery * femoral vein * femoral canal (femoral hernias) * femoral lymph nodes "NAVEL"
34
SPECIAL ANATOMY HIP
* Joint → head of the femur + acetabulum * Capsule * iliofemoral ligament * ischiofemoral ligament * pubofemoral ligament * Vascular supply * medial femoral circunflex artery → most important * fracture femoral neck → avascular necrosis (head of the femur)
35
SPECIAL ANATOMY Knee
* Stability → muscles * quadriceps * hamstring * Hamstring Muscle * semitendinosus * semimembranosus * long head of biceps femoris * Pes anserine * sartorius * gracilis * semitendinosus
36
SPECIAL ANATOMY Knee: collateral ligaments
* Tibial Collateral * most frequently torn (lateral trauma) * prevents lateral displacement * attached to medial meniscus * Fibular Collateral * not attached to meniscus * prevents medial displacement
37
SPECIAL ANATOMY Knee: cruciate ligaments
* Anterior Cruciate (ACL) * anterior tibia + lateral condyle of the femur * prevents anterior displacement * weaker than posterior cruciate * tension increases with hyperextension * anterior drawer sign (leg pulled foward) * Posterior Cruciate (PCL) * posterior tibia + medial condyle of the femur * prevents posterior displacement * tension increases with hyperflexion * posterior drawer sing (leg pulled posteriorly)
38
SPECIAL ANATOMY Knee: menisci
* Medial Meniscus * c-shaped * firmly attached to tibial collateral ligament * less mobile * more frequently injured * medial meniscus tear → pain + medially rotated leg at the knee * Lateral Meniscus * circular * more mobile
39

tibial collateral ligament + ACL + medial meniscus
40
SPECIAL ANATOMY Ankle
* Lateral (collateral) Ligament * posterior talofibular * calcaneofibular * **anterior talofibular → frequently damaged** * prevents **inversion** → **inversion sprains are most commom** * Medial (delthoid) Ligament * posterior tibiotalar part * anterior tibiotalar part * tibionavicular part * tibiocalcaneal part
