Anatomy of the hip and thigh:
Articulations of the pelvis:
Lesser pelvis (true pelvis):
Male Vs Female Pelvic Girdle:
Proximal femur (thigh bone):
Components of the proximal femur:
Intertrochanteric structures:
Acetabulofemoral joint (hip joint) components:
o Ligaments of the hip joint:
Gluteal region - superficial muscles (overview):
Gluteal muscles - deep muscles (short lateral rotator): ○
Obturator internus and gemelli:
Gluteal region muscles - Clinical slides:
Important landmark muscle:
Anterior hip muscles (hip flexor group):
Medial thigh compartment: hip adduction, stabilization during gait/stance. Key muscles:
Medial thigh muscles (adductor group):
Adductor magnus: the largest muscle in the medial thigh compartment.
Posterior thigh muscles (extensor group):
IMPORTANT STRUCTURES IN THE HIP AND THIGH:
NAVEL (lateral to medial):
Adductor canal (Hunter's/subsartorial canal):
Knee region - Bones, Joints, and Muscles
Medial femoral condyle: Forms the medial part of the knee joint, articulating with the medial tibial plateau.
Patellar surface: Composed of medial and lateral facets, forming the sloping sides of the trochlear groove.
Proximal tibia: the largest weight-bearing medial bone of the leg.
Tubercles of the intercondylar eminence:
Anterior border, shin crest:
A vertical ridge along the lateral aspect of the tibia.
Just inferior to the tibial tuberosity is the attachment site for the Pes Anserinus muscle:
Additional bony features:
Impression for Iliotibial tract: attachment site for the iliotibial band.
The largest sesamoid bone in the body.
Facets for articulation with the femur:
Functions of the patella:
KNEE JOINTS AND LIGAMENTS:
Ligaments of the knee, collateral ligaments:
Lateral collateral ligament:
Ankle and Foot - Bones, Joints, and Muscles
Calcaneus (heel bone/Os Calcis):
ANKLE AND FOOT JOINTS AND LIGAMENTS:
MUSCLES OF THE LEG AND SOLE OF THE FOOT:
Muscles of the posterior compartment of the leg:
Muscles of the lateral compartment of the leg:
ARCHES OF THE FOOT, MECHANISM OF ARCH SUPPORT, AND TARSAL TUNNEL:
Active support (muscular support):
