Muscle attachments The femur is an integral component of ambulation. A lot of the large thigh muscles arise from and insert on the various parts of the femur. Muscles that originate from the pelvis and insert on the anterior or posterior surface of the femur to facilitate flexion and extension...
Muscle attachments on the femur may cause displacement after an intertrochanteric fracture because the internal rotators remain attached to the distal fragment, and the external rotators stay attached to the proximal head and neck fragment. The vascular supply to the intertrochanteric area is usually ...
He was the first to explore the concept of reducing muscle moment arms by changing the orientation of the proximal femur, and he stated that a horizontal sourcil denotes biomechanical equilibrium. His ideas were taken a step further by Bombelli, who reached the same conclusions through a ...
The position of the bone and its function within the skeletal frame limits its range of motion through linkages between bones, joints and muscle attachments. This results in a constrained envelope of loading directions that a particular load bearing bone can experience during common habitual movements...
Digastric mobilization of the greater trochanter provides surgeons with an alternative surgical exposure that preserves the opposing muscle forces of the abductors and vastus lateralis in a digastric fashion, thus minimizing the potential for displacement and migration in the postoperative period following re...
Proximal attachments of Popliteus Muscle: A Morphological Study on 30 Adult Human Cadavers It is attached to a depression at the anterior end of the groove on the lateral aspect of the lateral condyle of femur. Other proximal attachments are... U Kumar - 《Journal International Medical Sciences...
To correct the imbalance in the force system, an optimisation scheme was adopted that iteratively updated the locations of both muscle and joint attachments across a 5-mm radius circle centred at the initially defined node in the reference load configuration [ 2 , 3 ]. Across all patients, a...
