the sacrospinous ligament divides the sciatic _________ into what?

foramen; greater and lesser

what are three ways contents of the pelvis/abdomen can pass into the LE

greater/lesser sciatic foramen, gap between inguinal lig and pelvis, obturator canal

what are the boundaries of the greater sciatic foramen

greater sciatic notch, SS and ST ligaments

what runs out the greater sciatic foramen and reenters through lesser sciatic foramen

pudendal n

what muscles compose the superficial layer of the gluteal region

glute max, med, min, and TFL

what is the main function of the superficial layer of the gluteal region

Hip ABD and extension

what muscles compose the deep layer of the gluteal region

piriformis, superior gemellus, obturator internus, inferior gemellus, and quadratus femoris

what is the main function of the deep layer of the gluteal region

Hip lateral rotation

what is special about the TFL

located more anteriorly, but innervated by same as gluteal superficial region

the deep layer of the gluteal region has a common insertion where

greater trochanter

what injury is related to trendelenburg's sign

nerve injury to superior gluteal n

what does a positive trendelenburg test look like

Hip drop to opposite side of impairment

the sacral plexus is formed from what ventral rami

L4-S4

what are the branches of the sacral plexus in the gluteal region

superior gluteal, inferior gluteal, n to piriformis, n to obturator internus, and n to quadratus femoris

what branches of the sacral plexus are formed in the gluteal region

sciatic, posterior cutaneous n of the thigh, pudendal

sciatic n divides into what

tibial and common fibular branches

what is the pathway of the sciatic nerve

inferior to piriformis, out GSF

what is the pathway of the posterior cutaneous n of the thigh

out GSF, medial to sciatic n

what is the pathway of the pudendal n

leaves pelvis via GSF and renters pelvis via LSF

what composes the main blood supply in the gluteal region

superior and inferior gluteal arteries

superior and inferior gluteal arteries branch from where

internal iliac artery

what is the pathway of the superior and inferior gluteal arteries

exit GSF superior to piriformis, to supply the glute muscles

what is included in the trochanteric anastomosis

superior and inferior gluteal a, medial and lateral circumflex a, retinacular a

if there is a fx to neck of femur, what can result

avascular necrosis of femoral head

what veins supply the gluteal region

superior and inferior gluteal vein

internal iliac vein

where does the common iliac vein drain?

IVC

what muscles composed the posterior thigh

which of the posterior thigh muscles is not included in the hamstrings?

short head of biceps femoris

what composes the main blood supply in the posterior thigh

perforating branches of the deep femoral artery

how do the perforating branches of the posterior thigh get to the posterior thigh

pass through openings in adductor magnus

what causes peripheral vascular disease (PVD)

stenosis or occlusion of lower aorta, or iliac, femoral, tibial, or fibular vessels

how do you treat pvd
