Questions for the Lower Limb Clinical Correlate - Eric Greensmith, PhD MD

True/False

1. The lateral calcaneal nerve branches from the saphenous nerve near the lateral malleolus.
2. The common peroneal nerve crosses the medial part of the leg immediately superior the the head of the fibula.
3. Immediately anterior to the distal attachment of the anterior cruciate ligament is the transverse genicular ligament.
4. The skin overlying the posterior border of the popliteal fossa (a redundancy) receives innervation from the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve.
5. Osteotomes refer to the distribution of peripheral nerves to the bone.
6. Does it make sense to refer to the dermatomal distribution of a non-segmental peripheral nerve?
7. The inferior lateral genicular artery crosses the lateral side of the tendon of origin of the popliteus muscle.
8. The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve enters the anterior thigh by passing deep to the inguinal ligament.
9. The midline of the inguinal ligament is located anterior to the femoral artery.
10. The saphenous nerve is generally the first branch (most proximal) of the femoral nerve.
11. The sartorius muscle flexes and laterally rotates the knee.
12. The sartorius muscle (Tailor's muscle) flexes, laterally rotates, and abducts at the hip.
13. It is the tibial part of the sciatic nerve that sometimes passes through the piriformis.
14. The inferior gluteal nerve has a motor branch that extends superior to the level of piriformis.
15. A posterior branch of the superior gluteal artery is NOT accompanied by a branch of the superior gluteal nerve.
16. The inferior clunial nerves branch from the tibial portion of the sciatic nerve
17. The pudendal nerve, within the gluteal region, is located medial to the sciatic nerve.
18. Electrical stimulation of the sciatic nerve that causes knee flexion without hip extension indicates stimulation of the peroneal part but not the tibial part.
19. The obturator nerve enters the medial thigh by way of the obturator foramen.
20. The obturator nerve divides into anterior and posterior divisions within the obturator externus muscle, but distal to the obturator canal.
