Note the fusion of the ilium, ischium, and pubis at the acetabulum. Note that the ilium and
ischium make a greater contribution (approx. 4/5) to the acetabulum; while the pubis contributes
to 1/5 of the acetabular surface
acetabulum is the large cup shaped socket on the lateral aspect of the hip bone. Articulates with the head of the femur to form the hip joint. all three primary bones forming the hip bone contribute to the formation of the acetabulum
Distinguish between the greater pelvis and lesser pelvis
Identify the compartments of the thigh, the muscle group in that compartment, and the nerve that
supplies most of the muscles
No real lateral compartment. The muscles that would be in the lateral compartment (gluteus medius and minimus) do not extend past the greater trochanter of the femur tensor fascia lata as well but it continues down the thigh as the IT band, muscle at the hip
What is the function of the fascia lata? What is the function of the iliotibial band?
fascia lata function= flex, abdduct medially rotate hip
Innervation= superior gluteal nerve
origin= ASIS
insertion= It band, IT band attaches to lateral condyle of tibia
function of IT band= tensor fascia lata tenses the fascia lata and IT band. When the knee is fully extended, the tensor fascial lata contirbutes to the extending force, adding stability, and plays a role in supporting the femur on the tibia when standing if lateral sway occurs.
Pectineus
Identify the muscles of the thigh: anterior, medial, and posterior thigh muscles. Identify the bone
attachments, innervation, and action of each muscle
origin= superior rami of pubis
insertion= pectineal line of femur, just inferior to lesser trochanter
innervation=femoral nerve
actions= adducts and slightly flexes hip joint, assists with lateral rotation
illiopsoas
Psoas major
PSoas minor
Psoas major origin: sides of T12-L5 vertebrae, transcerse processes of all lumbar vertebrae
Psoas minor origin: sides of T12-L1 vertebrae
Psoas major insertion= lesser trochanter of femur
Psoas minor= pectineal line and illiopubic eminenece
Innervation for both= anterior rami of lumbar nerve
Action for both= act conjointly in flexion and lateral rotation of hip joint
Illiacius
Origin= illiac crest, illiac fossa, ala of sacrum,
insertion= tendons of psoas major, lesser trochanter
innvervation= femoral nerve
action= act conjointly in flexion and lateral rotation of hip joint (exact same as Illiopsoas muscles)
Sartorius
origin= ASIS
insertion= superior part of medial surface of tibia
innervation= femoral nerve
action= flexes, abducts, laterally rotates hip joints, flexes knee joint
Quadriceps femoris-
Rectus femoris
Vastus lateralis
Vastus medialis
vastus intermedius
Rectus femoris origin: AIIS
vastus lateralis origin: greater trochanter and lateral lip of aspera of femur
vastus medialis origin: interochanteric line and medial lip of linea aspera of femur
vastus intermedius: anterior and lateral surface of shaft of femur
Insertion for all= via quadriceps tendon (common tendinosus) and independent attachemnts to base of patella. medial and lateral vasti also attach to tibia and patella
innervation= femoral nerve
function= extend knee joint, rectus femoris helps illiopsoas with hip flexion as well
adductor longus
origin= body of pubis inferior to pubic crest
insertion= middle third of linea aspera of femur
innervation= obturator nerve
adducts thigh
adductor brevis
origin= body and inferior ramus of pubis
insertion= pectineal line and proximal part of linea aspera of femur
innervation= obturator nerve
action= adducts thigh and and to some extent flexes it
adductor magnus
origin= adductor part: inferior ramus of pubis, ramus of ischium
hamstring part: ischial tuberosity
insertion:
adductor part=gluteal tuberosity, linea aspera
hamstring part= adductor tubercle of femur
innervation=
adductor part: obturator nerve
hamstring part: tibial part of sciatic nerve
action= adducts thigh, and flexes thigh
hamstring part extends it
gracilis
origin= body and inferior ramus of pubis
insertion= superior part of medial surface of tibia
innervation= obturator nerve
action= adducts thigh, flexes leg, medialy rotation
obturator externus
origin= margin of obturator foramen and obturator membrane
insertion= trochanteric fossa of femur
innervation= obturator nerve
action= laterally rotates hip joints
semitendinosus
origin= ischial tuberosity
insertion= superior part of medial surface of tibia
innervation= tibial divison of sciatic nerve part of tibia
action= extend hip joints, flex knee joints, and medially rotate it when flexed.
when hip and knee joints are flexed (like when sitting) the muscles can extend trunk at hip joints
semimembranosus
origin= ischial tuberosity
insertion= posterior part of medial condyle of tibia
innervation= tibial division of sciatic nerve part of tibia
main action=extend hip joints, flex knee joints, and medially rotate it when flexed.
when hip and knee joints are flexed (like when sitting) the muscles can extend trunk at hip joints
biceps femoris
Long head origin= ischial tuberosity
short head origin= linea aspera and lateral supracondylar line of femur
insertion= lateral side of head of fibula
innvervation:
long head= tibial division of sciatic nerve
short head= common fibular divison of sciatic nerve
action= flexes knee joint and laterally rotates it when flexed. long head extends hip joints.
Note that the quadriceps tendon surrounds the patella, classifying it as a sesamoid bone. Note
the role of the patella to increase the torque exerted by the quadriceps muscle group
The patella is the largest
sesamoid bone in the body
The patella
increases the
amount of torque
produced by the
quadriceps group
What is the most common direction for a recurrent patellar dislocation? Name an anatomical
feature that helps to prevent this dislocation: (
lateral direction
vastus medialis obliques
Describe the location (lateral to medial) of the femoral nerve, artery, and vein in the femoral
triangle
femoral triangle= boundaries are inguinal ligament, adductor longus, sartorius
NAVy lateral to medial
What is the purpose and contents of the adductor canal?
Adductor canal a.k.a Hunter’s
Canal
This is a fibrous tunnel that prevents the
femoral vessels from getting squeezed
closed by the contraction of the large
thigh muscles
The apex of the femoral
triangle marks the opening of
the adductor canal
The femoral artery, femoral
vein, the saphenous nerve
and nerve to vastus
medialis (branches of the
femoral nerve) enter the
adductor canal
exit of femoral artery and vein from adductor canal? what do they continue as
Note the exit of the femoral artery (and vein) from the adductor canal at the adductor hiatus and
its continuation in the leg as the popliteal artery (and vein)
The femoral artery and vein
exit the adductor canal at the
adductor hiatus; they
continue as the popliteal
artery and vein behind the
knee
