N: femoral n.
Articularis Genu
deep portion of vastus intermedius
O: antero-inferior surface of femur
I: superior portion of synovial membrane of knee joint and wall of suprapatellar bursa
A: pulls synovial membrane superiorly during leg extension to prevent entrapment between patella and femur
N: Femoral N
Pectineus
O: pectineal line of pubis
I:pectineal line of femur (posterior and inferior to lesser trochanter)
A: flexion and adduction of thigh, assists in medial rotation of thigh
N: femoral n. and or obturator n
Adductor longus
O: anterior body of pubis
I: medial lip of linea aspera (middle part)
A: flexion and adduction of thigh, assists in medial rotation of thigh
N: : anterior division of obturator n.
Adductor Brevis
O: inferior pubic ramus
I: medial lip of linea aspera (upper half)
A: flexion and adduction of thigh, assists in medial rotation of thigh
I: anterior division of obturator n.
Adductor MAgnus adductor head
O: Adductor head- ischiopubic ramus
I:Adductor head- gluteal tuberosity, linea aspera, medial supracondylar line
A: adducts thigh, flexes and assists in medial thigh rotation
N: posterior division of obturator n.
Adductor magnus hamstring head
O: ischial tuberosity
I: adductor tubercle of femur
A:adducts thigh, extends and assists in medial thigh rotation
N: tibial n.
Gracilis
O: inferior pubic ramus near symphysis
I: medial tibia just below condyle with sartorius and semitendinosus at pes anserinus
A: adducts thigh, flexes and medially rotates leg
N: anterior division of obturator n.
Obturator externus
O: anterior margins of obturator foramen and membrane
I: trochanteric fossa of femur
A: lateral rotation of thigh
N: posterior division of obturator n.
Femoral Triangle boundaries
Superior: inguinal ligament
Medial: lateral border of adductor longus
Lateral: medial border of sartorius
Roof: deep fascia (fascia lata)
Floor: pectineus and iliopsoas
Femoral triangle contents
Femoral n. Femoral a. and branches Femoral v. Lymphatics (NAVL)
Adductor canal contents
Femoral a., v., femoral n. to vastus medialis, saphenous n.
Gluteus Maximus
O: Ilium posterior to posterior gluteal line; dorsal surface of sacrum and coccyx; sacrotuberous ligament
I: gluteal tuberosity and iliotibial tract (ITT)
A: extends thigh, lateral rotation of thigh; acts with ITT to stabilize knee
N: inferior gluteal n.
Gluteus Medius
O: Ilium between posterior and anterior gluteal lines
I: greater trochanter
A: abduction of thigh; posterior fibers assist gluteus maximus in lateral thigh rotation; anterior fibers assist gluteus minimus in medial thigh rotation and leveling sacral base when contralateral limb is raised off of ground
N: Superior gluteal N
Gluteus Minimus
O: Ilium between anterior and inferior gluteal lines
I: anterior surface of greater trochanter
A: abduction and medial rotation of thigh; assists gluteus medius in leveling sacral base
N: superior gluteal n.
Tensor fascia latae
O: Anterolateral iliac crest near ASIS
I: lateral tibial condyle via iliotibial tract
A: abducts, flexes, and medially rotates thigh; maintains extended knee
N: superior gluteal n.
Piriformas
O: anterior surface of sacrum
I: greater trochanter
A: abduction and lateral rotation of thigh
N: nerve to piriformis
