Anterior and Medial Thigh Flashcards
What are the three compartments of the thigh?
Anterior, Medial and Posterior
What are the function within the anterior compartment of the thigh?
Flex hip and extend knee
What are the functions within medial compartment of the thigh?
Adduct hip
What are the functions with the posterior compartment of the thigh?
Extend hip and flex knee
What are the hip flexors in the anterior thigh?
Iliacus, Psoas major, Pectineus and Sartorius
What are the knee extensors in the anterior thigh?
Quadriceps:
Rectus femoris, Vastus medialis, Vastus lateralis and Vastus Intermedius
What is the proximal attachment of the Iliacus?
Iliac crest, foss, ala of sacrum, anterior sacroiliac ligament
What is the distal attachment of the iliacus?
Psoas tenon and lesser trochanter
What is the innervation of iliacus?
Femoral nerve (L2,3)
What is the proximal attachment of the Psoas major?
T12-L5, IV discs, lumbar transverse processes
What is the distal attachment of the Psoas major?
Lesser trochanter
What is the innervation in the Psoas major?
Anterior rami L1-L3
What is the proximal attachment of the Pectineus?
Superior ramus of pubis
What is the distal attachment of the Pectineus?
Pectineal line of femur
What is the innervation of the Pectineus?
Femoral nerve (L2, L3)
What is the function of the Pectineus?
Adduct and flex hip; assist with medial rotation
What is the proximal attachment of Sartorius?
Anterior superior iliac spine
What is the distal attachment of Sartorius?
Superior part of medial surface tibia
What is the innervation of Sartorius?
Femoral nerve (L2, L3)
What is the function of Sartorius?
Flex, abduct, laterally rotate hip and flex knee
What is the proximal attachment of Rectus femoris?
AIIS, ilium above acetubulum
What is the proximal attachment of Vastus lateralis?
Greater trochanter and lateral lined aspera
What is the proximal attachment of Vastus Medialis?
