Supplied by femoral nerve - L2-3

Term
Psoas Major
Definition

Origin at bodies and bases of transverse processes of the spine L1 to L5. Insertion at lesser trochanter of femur, medial to greater trochanter - overlapping iliacus muscle.

 

Supplied by ventral rami of lumbar plexus - L1-L3

Term
Tensor fascia latae
Definition

Origin attachment to anterior iliac crest. Insertion attachment to condyle of fibula - (via iliotibial band).

 

Supplied by superior gluteal nerve - L4-5, S1

Term
Sartorius
Definition

Origin attachment at anterior superior iliac spine and region slightly below it. Insertion at proximal tibia, distal to femur - medial to tibial tuberosity. 

 

Supplied by femoral nerve - L2-3

Term
Rectus femoris
Definition

Origin attachment at anterior inferior iliac spine and ilium above the acetabelum. Insertion attachment at quadriceps tendon to base of patella and also to tibial tuberosity via patellar ligament.

 

Supplied by femoral nerve - L2-L4.

Definition

Separated in to two heads:

 

Vertical head: Origin attachment at ischial tuberosity. Insertion at adductor tubercle of femur - Supplied by sciatic nerve.

 

Oblique head: Origin attachment at inferior ramus of pubis & ischial ramus. Insertion attachment at glueteal tuberosity, linea aspera and proximal supracondylar line of femur. - Supplied by obturator nerve (L2-4)
