Function: Hip joint: Thigh external rotation; Stabilizes head of femur in acetabulum Thigh muscles The thigh is the region between the hip and knee joints. People who play soccer have these specific muscles of the leg very well defined, so they’re like a walking anatomy atlas for thigh mu...
Learn about hip muscle anatomy, understand the hip girdle muscles, or the muscles of the hip and thigh. Discover the hip muscle attachments and...
Both muscles have accessory functions in medial rotation and adduction of the thigh, and in flexion and medial rotation of the knee joint. The tendon of the biceps femoris splits round the fibular collateral ligament and inserts into the lateral side of the head of the fibula. The accessory ...
Sign/Symptoms:-Pain most common in anterior hip (iliopsoas muscles/tendon)-Pain may also occur laterally (trochanteric bursitis)-Snapping sensation anteriorly with motion (hip flexion/extension)MOI: chronic condition/overuseAnterior Thigh Muscles Quadriceps 1. Rectus femoris A: hip flexion and knee ...
This chapter will discuss and review the anatomy, biomechanics and injury processes that occur in the pelvis focussing on the hip joint, symphyseal region, surrounding muscles and tendons. Imaging features and strategies will be presented for all conditions outlining how these findings aid diagnosis,...

They control the powerful and fast medial rotation of the thigh at the start of the standing phase, when walking or running. The short lateral rotators, particularly the piriformis muscles (see Section 32.13), can also irritate these as they are anatomically very close to the sciatic nerve (...
Hip, in anatomy, the joint between the thighbone (femur) and the pelvis; also the area adjacent to this joint. The hip joint is a ball-and-socket joint; the round head of the femur rests in a cavity (the acetabulum) that allows free rotation of the limb.
The hip adductors are a group of five muscles located in the medial compartment of the thigh. These muscles are the adductor longus, adductor brevis, adductor magnus, gracilis, and pectineus. Due to their position, the hip adductors shape the surface anatomy of the medial thigh. More specif...
Trochanteric bursitis is one of the two most common forms of hip bursitis. It affects the greater trochanteric bursa which is located at the outward curve of the upper thigh. The greater trochanter is the bony knob near the top of the thighbone (femur), where the upper thigh curves outward...
