adductor canal floor

adductor longus, adductor brevis

anterior cruciate ligament

attaches anteriorly to tibia and posteriorly to femur, prevents anterior displacement of tibia (posterior displacement of femur when leg fixed)

posterior cruciate ligament

attaches posteriorly to tibia and anteriorly to femur, prevents posterior displacement of tibia (anterior displacement of femur when leg is fixed)

pes anserinus

attachment site for sartorius (ant thigh), gracilius (med thigh), semitendinosus (lat thigh)

medial compartment

contains muscles that primarily adduct the thigh N: obturator n A: obturator & deep femoral aa

anterior compartment of thigh

contains muscles that primarily extend the knee &/or flex the hip N: femoral n A: femoral a

posterior compartment

contains muscles that primarily flex the knee &/or extend the hip N: sciatic n A: deep femoral a

femoral artery branches

deep femoral a (supplies quadriceps femoris mm)

external iliac artery branches

femoral a (after passing inguinal ligament), popliteal a (after passing adductor hiatus)

medial meniscus

fibrocartilage located at the knee, between medial femoral condyle and medial condyle of tibia

lateral meniscus

fibrocartilage located at the knee, between the lateral femoral condyle and lateral condyle of tibia

cutaneous nerves of anterior thigh

iliohypogastric n, gentiofemoral n, ilioinguinal n, lateral femoral n, anterior femoral cutaneous n

patellar tendon

inferior portion of the quadriceps tendon, within which the patella sits

terrible triad of knee

injury of ACL, MCL, medial meniscus; caused when knee is forced to rotate while leg is fixed, leading to anteromedial displacement, most often result from posterolateral trauma to knee while foot is planted/leg fixed

patella

largest sesmoid bone in the body, forms within the quadriceps tendon

deep femoral a branches

lateral femoral circumflex a & medial femoral circumflex a, which anastomose with each other to provide blood supply to head of femur

lateral collateral ligament

ligament that attaches to femur and fibula, maintains stability of the lateral aspect of the knee joint, prevents excessive adduction

medial collateral ligament

ligament that attaches to femur and tibia, maintains stability of the medial aspect of the knee joint, prevents excessive abduction

cutaneous nerves of distal medial thigh

obturator n

iliopsoas

pair of muscles (psoas major, iliacus) that have common insertion & action

femoral triangle floor

pectineus (medially), iliopsoas (laterally)

cutaneous nerves of posterior thigh

posterior femoral cutaneous n, lateral femoral cutaneous n

fascia lata

proper name for deep fascia of thigh, has 3 investing septa (lateral, medial, posterior) that anchor it deep to the femur

anterior compartment of thigh

quadriceps femoris = rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius; sartorius

adductor canal roof

sartorius

femoral triangle roof

skin & fascia lata

femoral triangle boundaries

superior = inguinal canal/ligament, lateral = sartorius, medial = adductor longus
