Blood Supply of the Medial Fascial Compartment of the Thigh

Profunda femoris artery



A large artery that arises from the
lateral side of the femoral artery
in the femoral triangle, about 1.5
in. (4 cm) below the inguinal
ligament
It descends in the interval
between the adductor longus
and adductor brevis and then
lies on the adductor magnus
Ends as the fourth perforating
artery
DR FADEL NAIM
IUG
Branches Profunda Femoris Artery
Medial femoral circumflex artery:



This passes backward between the muscles that form the floor of the
femoral triangle
Gives off muscular branches in the medial fascial compartment of
the thigh
It takes part in the formation of the cruciate anastomosis.
Lateral femoral circumflex artery:



This passes laterally between the terminal branches of the femoral
nerve
It breaks up into branches that supply the muscles of the region
Takes part in the formation of the cruciate anastomosis.
Four perforating arteries:




Three of these arise as branches of the profunda femoris artery
The fourth perforating artery is the terminal part of the
profunda artery
The perforating arteries run backward, piercing the various muscle
layers as they go.

A branch of the internal iliac artery

Accompanies the obturator nerve through the obturator
canal
On entering the medial fascial compartment of the thigh, it
divides into medial and lateral branches, which pass
around the margin of the outer surface of the obturator
membrane.
It gives off muscular branches and an articular branch
to the hip joint.

ADDUCTOR MUSCLES AND CEREBRAL PALSY

In patients with cerebral palsy
who have marked spasticity of
the adductor group of muscles

It is common practice to


Perform a tenotomy of the adductor
longus tendon
Divide the anterior division of the
obturator nerve.
In addition, in some severe cases
the posterior division of the
obturator nerve is crushed.
 This operation overcomes the
spasm of the adductor group of
muscles and permits slow
recovery of the muscles supplied
by the posterior division of the
DR FADEL NAIM
IUG
obturator nerve.

Superficial Veins
Many small veins curve around the medial and
lateral aspects of the thigh and ultimately drain
into the great saphenous vein
 Veins from the lower part of the back of the
thigh join the small saphenous vein in the
popliteal fossa.

Lymph Vessels

Hip Joint





The articulation between the hemispherical head of the
femur and the cup-shaped acetabulum of the hip
bone
The articular surface of the acetabulum is horseshoe
shaped and is deficient inferiorly at the acetabular
notch.
The cavity of the acetabulum is deepened by the presence
of a fibrocartilaginous rim called the acetabular labrum.
The labrum bridges across the acetabular notch and is
here called the transverse acetabular ligament
The articular surfaces are covered with hyaline cartilage.
The hip joint is a synovial ball-and-socket joint.

REFERRED PAIN FROM THE HIP JOINT




The femoral nerve not only supplies the hip
joint but also supplies the skin of the front and
medial side of the thigh.
Pain originating in the hip joint may be referred
to the front and medial side of the thigh
The posterior division of the obturator nerve
supplies both the hip and knee joints.
Hip joint disease sometimes gives rise to pain in
the knee joint.
DR FADEL NAIM

CONGENITAL DISLOCATION OF THE HIP



The stability of the hip joint depends on the ball-an dsocket
arrangement of the articular surfaces and the strong
ligaments
In congenital dislocation of the hip the upper lip of the
acetabulum fails to develop adequately
The head of the femur rides up out of the acetabulum onto
the gluteal surface of the ilium.

of the hip implying a condition that existed

TRAUMATIC DISLOCATION OF THE HIP
DR FADEL NAIM

Hip Joint Stability Normal Gait

The stability of the hip joint when a
person stands on one leg with the
foot of the opposite leg raised above
the ground depends on three
factors:
1.
2.
3.
The gluteus medius and minimus
must be functioning normally.
The head of the femur must be located
normally within the acetabulum.
The neck of the femur must be intact
and must have a normal angle with the
shaft of the femur.
DR FADEL NAIM
IUG
Hip Joint Stability Normal Gait

A positive trendelenburg's sign




If anyone of these factors is defective, then the pelvis will sink
downward on the opposite, unsupported side.
Normally, when walking, a person alternately contracts
the gluteus medius and minimus
By this means he or she is able to raise the pelvis allowing
the leg to be flexed at the hip joint and moved forward
The leg is raised clear of the ground before it is thrust
forward in taking the forward step.
DR FADEL NAIM
IUG
Dipping and Waddling Gait



A patient with a right-sided congenital dislocation
of the hip, when asked to stand on the right leg
and raise the opposite leg clear of the ground,
will exhibit a positive Trendelenburg's sign,
and the unsupported side of the pelvis will
sink below the horizontal
If the patient is asked to walk, he or she will
show the characteristic "dipping" gait.
In patients with bilateral congenital dislocation of
the hip, the gait is typically "waddling“ in
nature.
DR FADEL NAIM
IUG
ARTHRITIS OF THE HIP JOINT



A patient with an inflamed hip joint will place the
femur in the position that gives minimum
discomfort
The position in which the joint cavity has the
greatest capacity to contain the increased
amount of synovial fluid secreted.
