92 - Hip and Thigh Bones Flashcards
Location of iliac fossa
Internal portion of ilium
Spines of iliac
Superior and inferior posterior and anterior spines
Three lines projecting from posterior, anterior and inferior on lateral surface of ilium
Posterior, anterior and inferior gluteal lines, where gluteal muscles attach
Muscle originating on smooth anterior surface of femur
Vastus medius
Location of intertrochanteric line
Anterior on superior femur, between greater and lesser trochanters
Spiral line
From lesser trochanter, and joins to medial lip of the linear aspera, then to medial supracondylar ridge
Location of gluteal tubercle
Posterior side of femur, inferior to greater trochanter
Does the anterior or posterior surface of the femur have more muscle attachments?
Posterior
Where does gluteus maximus originate?
Between posterior gluteal line and sacrum
Deep fascia of thigh
Fascia lata surrounds thigh.
Thickens laterally to form iliotibial band.
Compartments of thigh
Anterior (largest)
Posterior
Medial
Divided by medial, lateral and posterior septa
Contents of anterior thigh compartment
Hip flexors, knee extensors
Contents of posterior thigh compartment
Hip extensors, knee flexors
Contents of medial thigh compartment
Hip adductors
In which compartment is the femoral artery?
Anterior compartment
Innervation of anterior compartment
Femoral nerve
Innervation of posterior compartment
Sciatic nerve
Innervation of medial compartment
Obturator nerve
Innervation of gluteal compartment (above gluteal tuberosity of femur)
Gluteal nerve
Regions of the leg
Look at ‘leg regions’ picture
Attachment and origin of sartorius
Originates at lateral pelvis, attaches to medial knee (to tibia, on pes anserinus)
Most powerful hip flexor
Iliopsoas (made up of fusion of iliacus and psoas major)
Origin of psoas major
L1-L5 vertebral bodies
