Rectus Femoris is a quadricep muscle located in the anterior thigh, on top of the vastus intermedius (another quadricep). All of the quadriceps insert to the patella, and the tibial tuberosity via the patellar ligament. Together they are responsible for extension of the knee. Rectus Femoris is the only quadricep that also crosses the hip joint (acetabulofemoral joint) and attaches to the AIIS (anterior inferior iliac spine). Because of this, Rectus Femoris also assists in flexion of the hip.
