The intermuscular line, which marks the insertion surface of the deep portion of the femoraltriceps muscle, is hardly indicated, whereas it is very pronounced in the larger femur.
Reduction of femoral fracture in the horse is practically impossible, and retaining the broken bones in coaptation is not possible by means of mechanical appliances.
The femoral nerve (crural) is derived chiefly from the fourth and fifth lumbar nerves.
If treatment is attempted, it is to be conducted along the same general lines as in femoral paralysis.
Extension of the stifle joint would increase the distance between the femoral origin of the gastrocnemius and its insertion to the summit of fibular tarsal bone (calcis) were it not for the gastrocnemius and superficial flexor (perforatus).
Uncomplicated femoral luxation is of less frequent occurrence in the horse than in the other domestic animals.
While paralysis of the femoral nerve, also known as "dropped stifle" occurs as a result of local injuries and melanotic tumors in gray horses, most cases are due to azoturia.
Observations on the Femoral Gland of Ornithorhynchus and its Secretion;” Proc.
The body slowly grew cold; the pulse disappeared from the femoral and carotid arteries, and diminished in the aorta.
The absence of the pubio-femoral ligament in other quadrupeds than the horse explains why in them abduction is less limited than in the latter.
This fasciculus, long and narrow, takes origin from the summit of the sacrum, or the coccyx, and goes to partake of the femoral insertions of the muscle which it accompanies.
From the superior fold of the stifle to the summit of the crupper in those specimens whose coxo-femoral angle is very open.
This bone, developed in the thickness of the tendon of the triceps muscle of the thigh, is in contact, by its posterior surface, with the femoral trochlea.
We know that in man the femoral trochlea is continuous behind, without interruption, with the condyles--that is to say, that each of the condyles is the continuation of one of the lips of the trochlea.
Articulations of the Posterior Limbs =The Coxo-femoral Articulation.
Under what circumstances is it possible or justifiable to reduce a femoral hernia, without previously opening the sac?
It is very remarkable how exceedingly thin all the so-called coats become in large femoral herniæ of long standing, especially in thin old people.
The superficial femoral is the name given to the main trunk between the origin of the profunda, and the point at which, passing through the tendon of the adductor magnus, it receives the name of popliteal.
This operation is in the great majority of cases performed for femoral aneurism, and naturally secondary hæmorrhage is a too frequent result.
This operation is now hardly ever performed for aneurism, ligature of the superficial femoral having quite superseded it, and it is very rarely required for wounds, from the manner in which the vessel is protected by its position.
A free incision in this line three or four inches in length--the nerve lies just below the the femoral aponeurosis, beneath the edge of gluteal fold, requiring no muscular fibres to be divided.
Since I wrote the above I have seen two cases of hydrops thoracis, attended with pain in the left arm, so as to be mistaken for asthma dolorificum, in which femoral issues, though applied early in the disease, had no effect.
The most important anastomosis is that between the femoral and saphena and internal mammary and epigastric veins.
It is most common in the femoral and saphenous veins, and is rapidly followed by painful oedematous swelling of the affected extremity.
There were marked lateral pulsation of the tumor, distinct systolic bruit, diminution of the femoral pulse, and severe lancinating pain in the back and sacral region.
One month later slight fulness without pulsation was discovered on the inner side of the femoral vessels just above the level of the wound track.
With regard to the femoral varices, I would refer to the remarks below, and those on the treatment of varicose aneurism as indicating that a certain amount of caution should be exercised in interfering with them.
In connection with this subject I cannot help recalling the first case of femoral varix that ever came under my own observation.
In one case which I have heard of, gangrene followed a very slight injury to the foot in a patient who had apparently made an excellent recovery after ligature of the femoral artery.
I know of at least two cases of gangrene which occurred consecutively to proximal ligature of the femoral artery for this condition.
For either femoral or popliteal arterio-venous aneurisms ligature of the artery above and below the aneurism is the best and safest treatment.
Against this, however, certain objections may be at once raised; thus in many cases both artery and vein need ligature, a consideration of much importance in the case of such vessels as the carotid and femoral arteries.
In a case of aneurismal varix of the femoral artery of three years' standing, which was under the charge of Mr. Mackellar, the pulse rate was normal.
Even this operation, however, in two cases of femoral varix failed to effect more than a temporary cessation of the symptoms, although the ligatures were placed but a short distance from the communication.
In the femoral cases a considerable period of rest to allow of consolidation of the sac, and readjustment of the circulation, should always be allowed to elapse.
On the eighth day secondary hæmorrhage occurred from the exit wound and the femoral artery was tied in Hunter's canal.
In the case of femoral and popliteal aneurisms the method of Antyllus is often unsuitable.
Saussure which that naturalist proposed along with a description as follows: Long inrolled tail; femoral patagium as in the vespertilios.
Tibiae, feet and thefemoral patagium reddish marbled with white.
But the more basic humero-femoral and radio-humeral indices are practically the same; showing fundamental identity.
They are seen to considerably resemble the Yukon Indians, but somewhat less so other Indians in the radio-humeral and tibio-femoral indices, and they resemble all the Indians in the relative proportions of the femur at its middle.
These facts are plainly evident from the radio-humeral and tibio-femoral indices of the two groups.
The humero-femoral index in the Yukon Indians is unusually high, indicating a relative shortness of the femur.
The femoral canal is located at the upper and inner part of the thigh, and this place is a seat of rupture, especially in women.
In femoral rupture, this is at first downward, to bring the gut opposite the opening then backward and then upward.
The common iliac, with its subdivisions and the upper part of the femoral veins so resembled a ligamentous cord, that on opening the sheath the vessel was not, until dissected out, distinguishable from the cellular substance surrounding it.
Pressure along the course of the iliac and femoral vessels has never failed to aggravate the pain, and in no other part of the limb has pressure produced much uneasiness.
As is well known, a deep slash of the midthigh, inside, causes death nearly as quickly as a cut throat; if the femoral artery is divided the blood pours out of the victim almost as from an inverted pail, a horrible cascade.
There is sometimes pain and numbness in the distribution of the femoral (anterior crural) nerve.
While the organisms usually gain access to the tissues of the joint through the blood stream, a direct infection is occasionally observed from suppuration in the femoral lymph glands or in the bursa under the ilio-psoas.
Multiple small foci may be found beneath the articular cartilage of the tibia, or along the margins of the femoral condyles--especially the medial.
In some cases it is liable to be mistaken for a femoral hernia, as the swelling becomes smaller when the patient lies down, and has an impulse on coughing.
The ligamentum teres is almost always torn from its femoral attachment, and one or more of the muscles inserted in the region of the trochanters may be ruptured.
It has occasionally happened that when such an abscess has been opened and become infected with pyogenic organisms, the femoral vessels have been eroded, and serious or even fatal hæmorrhage has resulted.
There is considerable antero-posterior thickening of the neck of the femur, and the femoral vessels may be pushed forward in Scarpa's triangle.
The limb usually becomes flexed and adducted, and a swelling forms in front of the joint at the upper part of Scarpa's triangle; the upper femoral epiphysis may be separated and furnish a sequestrum.
The femoral artery, before it passes through this opening into the popliteal space, gives off its anastomatic branch.
The femoral vein, O, Plate 30, is separated from the falciform margin, S s, of the saphenous opening by one of these septa.
The sheath of the femoral vessels is also funnel-shaped, and surrounds them on all sides.
Within the inguinal canal above are the spermatic vessels, resting on the upper surface of the femoral arch, which alone separates them from the upper part or entrance of the femoral canal.
The ring of the femoral canal, 12, is situated immediately below, but to the inner side of the internal inguinal ring, 3.
Whilst all forms of inguinal herniae escape from the abdomen at places situated immediately above Poupart's ligament, the femoral hernia, G, Fig.
Footnote: This is the situation chosen by Scarpa for arresting by ligature the circulation through the femoral artery in cases of popliteal aneurism.
As this fold corresponds with Poupart's ligament, it is taken as a guide to distinguish between the inguinal and femoral forms of herniae.
The neck of the sac of a femoral hernia, 2, lies always close to, 3, the epigastric artery.
Femoral artery enclosed in e, its compartment of the femoral sheath.
The femoral vein, I, lies close to the outer margin of the saphenous opening.
IN THE THIGH, the Femoral Artery, from middle of fold of groin runs down the inside of thigh in its upper two-thirds.
Compress popliteal artery above wound, or compress femoral artery in front of thigh by tourniquet.
A Royal Commissary of the district of Vittoria, however, gave her permission to practice the reduction of human joints, and especially of femoral luxations, provided that she operated in the presence of a physician.
In others, such as the Armadillo, the structure has not sunk right into the joint, but is connected with the pubo-femoral part of the capsule.
In D, note absence of femoral notch and location of branch of femoral nerve.
On both sides of one specimen, the femoral notch is absent and the proximal end of the muscle is not notched; the proximal part is entirely fleshy and the anterior border is well defined (fig.
The short, thick anterodorsal division, partly covered by the anterior division, turns dorsally and passes through the femoral notch of the ilium and penetrates the deep surface of M.
Semidiagrammatic ventral views of the femoral nerve, showing the distribution of the branches.
A variable number of branches of the peroneal nerve penetrate the lateral surface of the femoral head; a variable number of branches of the same division pass deep to the femoral head and enter the posterior edge of the tibial head.
A variable number of branches (usually two) of the middle division of the femoral nerve pass ventral to M.
Also unexpected is his finding that the posterior division of the femoral nerve gives minute twigs into M.
Two or more branches of the middle division of the femoralnerve penetrate the anterior surface of the fused Mm.
If the femoral artery and vein have been lacerated, any attempt to preserve the limb will certainly prove fatal.
Mr. Guthrie mentions a case where a ball even opened the sheath of the femoral vessels, and passed between the artery and vein, in a soldier at Toulouse, without destroying the substance of either vessel.
Upon examination it was discovered, at the moment his friend entered the chamber, he was employed in opening the femoral artery; that there had been considerable hemorrhage from the small vessels he had divided.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "femoral" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
