Vastus Intermedius OIFIn
O: Proximal 2/3 of anterior and lateral surfaces of femoral shaft
I: Tibial tuberosity
F: Extension of knee
In: Femoral nerve
Vastus Lateralis OIFIn
O: Proximal portion of intertrochanteric line, anterior/inferior margin of greater trochanter, later side of gluteal tuberosity, laterally on linea aspera
