lec 14 osteofacial compartments of thigh & anterior compartment Flashcards
what are the osteofacial compartments
gluteal region
anterior compartment
medial compartment
posterior compartment
what is fascia lata
deep fascia of thigh
what is intermuscular septa
sheets of connective tissue that extend from femur to fascia lata
Where can you expect to find the medial intermuscular septum?
Stretches from fascia lata to: Spiral line Medial lip of linea aspera Medial supracondylar ridge Adductor tubercle
where can you find the lateral intermuscular septeum
stetches from IT tract to:
gluteal tuberosity
lateral lip of linea aspera
lateral supracondylar ridge
where can you find posterior intermuscular septum
Probably epimysium of adductor Magnus separating it from hamstrings
