The Femoral nerve arises from which of the following spinal levels?

• L2 to L4

• L1 to L3

• L3 to L5

• L4 to S1

The Sciatic Nerve is composed of which two nerves?

• Common fibular (peroneal) nerve and Tibial nerve

• Nerve to Piriformis and Posterior Femoral Cutaneous Nerve

• Nerve to Quadratus femoris and Inferior Gemellus and Posterior Femoral Cutaneous Nerve

What is the sensory function of the common fibular part of the sciatic nerve?

• Skin on the anterolateral surface of the leg and dorsal surface of the foot

• Skin on posterolateral and lateral surfaces of foot and sole of foot

• Skin on the anterior and lateral compartments of the leg

• Skin on the posterior compartment of the thigh

Where is the "Anterior superior iliac spine" located?

• At the front of the lower ilium

• At the back of the upper ilium

• At the front of the upper ilium

• At the lower end of the pubic bone

Which bone does not contribute to the formation of the acetabulum?

Your patient has severed her femoral nerve. You would expect to see:

• Loss of the ability to abduct the thigh

• Loss of the ability to extend the leg

• Loss of the ability to extend the thigh

• Weakness in flexion of the leg

• Weakness in lateral rotation of the thigh

The muscles in the medial compartment of the thigh are innervated by:

• Common fibular nerve

• Femoral nerve

• Obturator nerve

• Pudendal nerve

• Tibial nerve

The actions of the hamstring muscles are:

• Extend the thigh and extend the leg

• Extend the thigh and flex the leg

• Flex the thigh and extend the leg

• Flex the thigh and flex the leg

Which ligament prevents medial displacement of the tibia with respect to the femur?

• Anterior cruciate

• Lateral (fibular) collateral

• Posterior cruciate

• Medial (tibial) collateral

The medial malleolus is part of the:

• Calcaneus

• Femur

• Fibula

• Talus

• Tibia
