an athlete has a knee injury and the dr performs a drawer test by pulling and pushing on the leg w
the knee flexed. if the leg translates anteriorly, i.e. "gives" or moves anteriorly when the leg is
pulled anteriorly, what joint structure is most likely injured? - anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
in a car accident, the pt's knee strikes the dashboard which in turn pushes the head of the femur
posteriorly out of its socket. which ligament is most likely ruptured by this posterior dislocation?
- ischiofemoral
one of the menisci of the knee is often injured in a sprain of the knee because the: - medial
collateral ligament is attached to the medial meniscus
a pt developed "fallen arches" from marching w a heavy pack in boots that lacked arch support.
the ligament that normally supports the head of the talus and is primarily responsible for holding
up the medial longitudinal arch of the foot is: - plantar calcaneonavicular (spring)
while water skiing in FL, a med student falls and twists her ankle. her foot is forcibly everted,
which could cause a sprain of which ligament? - deltoid ligament
a young man involved in a head-on car accident had his flexed knee hit the dashboard of the car.
he was later found to have a major instability of the knee, in that his tibia could be moved
posteriorly relative to the femur. what ligament was likely damaged? - posterior cruciate
ligament
during the orange bowl, a player is blocked from behind during a kick-off return, injuring his
medial collateral ligament. the team doctor tests his knee by pulling anteriorly on the leg with the
knee flexed. if the leg translates (moves) forward significantly, this indicates damage to which
structure? - anterior cruciate ligament
which ligament limits extension at the hip joint? - iliofemoral ligament
in injuries of the knee, the medial meniscus is frequently torn because it is firmly attached to
which structure? - tibial collateral ligament
a 63 y.o. female pt says she has pain in her groin and upper thigh. upon examination, you palpate
a lump located below the inguinal ligament lateral to its attachment to the pubic tubercle, you
suspect that this may be a hernia passing through the: - femoral canal
, which movement would fail in case of paralysis of the quadriceps femoris muscle? - extension at
the knee
an elderly woman was found to have a hernial sac in the R femoral triangle and a marked
weakness in adduction at the right hip joint. which nerve was likely compressed by this
herniation? - obturator
the pulse of the femoral artery is best felt at which superficial reference point? - femoral triangle
at which site could one expect to enter the femoral vein with a simple percutaneous (through the
skin) introduction of an instrument? - medial to the femoral arterial pulse
following a penetrating injury to the left femoral triangle, a patient related that walking was
virtually impossible because at every step the left knee collapsed into flexion. the hx suggests
paralysis of which muscle? - quadriceps femoris
inability to extend the knee and loss of cutaneous sensation over the anterior surface of the thigh
would indicate a lesion/compression of the: - femoral nerve
the team dr tells a player that he has a "pulled hamstring" muscle. this results from tearing of the
origin of a hamstring muscle from the: - ischial tubersoity
as a pt w paralyzed gluteus medius and minimus muscles on the left side attempts to stand on the
left limb only, the right of the pelvis typically: - drops
the deep femoral artery is the principle blood source for the muscles in which compartment of
the thigh? - posterior
weakness in climbing stairs or jumping would indicate a lesion of which nerve? - inferior gluteal
nerve
because of its muscle attachments, a fx to the ischial tuberosity would affect which movement of
the lower limb? - flexion of the leg
a football player tears his calcaneal tendon. you would expect to find weakness in: -
plantarflexion of the foot
a pt with a fx to the L upper tibia was treated w a plaster cast. a few days later he started to
develop progressive numbness over the dorsum of the foot and weakness in dorsiflexion. the cast
was quickly changed and the signs were attributed to nerve compression. the compressed nerve
was most likely the: - common fibular nerve
a long distance runner complained of selling and pain in his shin. at phys examination, a skin
testing showed normal cutaneous sensation of the leg. however, muscular strength tests showed
marked weakness of dorsiflexion and impaired inversion of the foot. which nerve serves the
muscles involved? - deep fibular nerve
