What bony landmark is located proximal medial portion of the thigh?
The lesser trochanter is on the proximal medial portion of the femur. The femur is the scientific name for the thigh bone.
Were is the fovea capitis located?
The fovea capitis is located on the head of the femur bone, specifically on the medial and slightly posterior aspect. It is a small depression that serves as the point of attachment for the ligamentum teres.
What is severe chondrosis of the weight bearing aspect of the medial femoral condyle?
Severe chondrosis of the weight-bearing aspect of the medial femoral condyle refers to a significant degenerative condition affecting the cartilage on the inner part of the thigh bone where it meets the knee joint. This can result in pain, swelling, and limitations in movement, leading to reduced joint function and potentially requiring treatment such as physical therapy, medications, or in severe cases, surgery. It is important to follow the recommendations of a healthcare provider for proper management of this condition.
What collective name is given to the posterior thigh muscles that the sciatic nerve supplies?
The medial compartment of the thigh includes the hamstring portion of the adductor magnus. This muscle is innervated by the sciatica.
What is the origin and insertion of the gluteus maximus?
Origin: the gluteus maximus originates from the posterior inferior surface of the sacrum and coccyx, and the posterior medial surface of the ilium.Insertion: the gluteus maximus inserts into the gluteal tuberosity on the posterior aspect of the femur, and the anterior aspect of the lateral tibial condyle.
Where the pectineus muscle is located?
On the upper, medial aspect of the thigh
What is the nerve supply to medial thigh and scrotum is it genitofemoral or ilioinguinal nerve?
Both supply to the scrotum in males, but the genitofemoral supplies to the anterior surface of the thigh while the illoinguinal nerve supplies the superior medial aspect of thigh.
Which muscle of the medial compartment of the thigh does not insert onto the linea aspera of the femur?
The gracilis muscle of the medial compartment of the thigh does not insert onto the linea aspera of the femur. Instead, it inserts onto the pes anserinus, a common insertion site on the medial aspect of the proximal tibia.
What is the most medial thigh muscle?
gracilis
What bony landmark is located proximal medial portion of the thigh?
The lesser trochanter is on the proximal medial portion of the femur. The femur is the scientific name for the thigh bone.
What forms muscle mass at the medial side of each thigh?
Gluteus Maximus
What are the medial rotators of the thigh?
The medial rotators of the thigh primarily include the tensor fasciae latae, the gluteus medius, and the gluteus minimus muscles. These muscles are located on the lateral side of the hip and are responsible for rotating the thigh inward. Additionally, certain actions of the adductor muscles can assist in medial rotation. Overall, these muscles play a crucial role in stabilizing the pelvis during movements like walking or running.
What vein runs from the upper thigh to the ankle?
The great saphenous vein runs from the upper thigh down to the ankle. It is the longest vein in the body, originating from the medial side of the foot, ascending along the inner aspect of the leg and thigh, and draining into the femoral vein near the groin. This vein plays a crucial role in returning deoxygenated blood from the lower extremities back to the heart.

What is the back of thigh bone?
The femur or thigh bone is the largest and strongest bone in the body. The dorsal aspect of the bone is also referred to as the posterior aspect of the femur.
What regions does the ventral rami of the spinal nerves form nerve plexuses?
Cervical- diaphragm & muscles of shoulder & neck brachial- deltoid muscle of shoulder, triceps & extensor muscles of forearm, flexor muscles of forearm & some muscles of hand, flexor muscles of arm, wrist & many hand muscles lumbar- lower abdomen, buttocks, anterior thighs, and skin of anteromedial leg & thigh, adductor muscles of medial thigh & small hip muscles; skin of medial thigh & hip joint sacral- lower trunk & posterior surface of thigh & leg, lateral aspect of leg & foot, posterior aspect of leg & foot, gluteus muscles of hip
What nerve serves posterior thigh?
The Posterior Femoral Cutaneous Nerve serves the posterior aspect of the thigh.
