Document Summary
27th of august 2018: introduction to the lower limb: divisions of the lower limb: The sij joints and ligaments are the anchor point for attachment of the lower limb. The gluteal region is posterolateral between the iliac crest and gluteal fold. The hip joint is inferior to the middle third of the inguinal ligament: transition areas: The femoral triangle: common femoral artery and femoral nerve enter the thing from the abdomen by passing under the inguinal ligament. The popliteal fossa: popliteal artery/vein and sciatic nerve pass from thigh to leg. Tarsal tunnel: many nerves, vessels and flexor tendons pass between leg and foot. The flexor retinaculum holds tendons in position: bones of the lower limb, bones and joints of the lower limb: The femur articulates with the tibia and the patella embedded in the quadriceps femoris tendon. The knee joint allows flexion/extension of the leg, as well as rotation of the femur on the tibia (locks the knee when standing)
