Document Summary

Lecture 19 hip and thigh: bones and muscles. Upper and lower limb homologues, upper limb and lower limb buds similar but during embryonic development lower limb internally and medially rotates. Femur/tibia/fibula are stronger than humerus/ulna/radius because they are weight bearing. Anterior regions: femoral triangle, subsartorial canal, anterior compartment of thigh, medial compartment of thigh, anterior compartment of leg, lateral compartment of leg, dorsum of foot, dorsal aspect of digits. Posterior regions: gluteal region, posterior compartment of thigh, popliteal fossa, posterior compartment of leg, tarsal tunnel, sole of foot, plantar aspect of toes. Illium, ischium and pubis meet up at acetabulum. Iscial spine makes greater sciatic notch, females have wider notch than males. Lesser and greater sciatic notches become foramen due to ligaments. Iscial tuberosity is where muscles attach, can be epiphysis that can be pulled. Pelvic fractures mainly to pubis and sacrum, viscera in pelvic area may be affected. 5 fused vertebrae, detailed by anterior and posterior sacral foramina.
