Document Summary

Identify and discuss the bony landmarks of the anterior and medial. Anterior superior iliac spine (asis) - origin of sartorius and lateral point of attachment of inguinal ligament. Anterior inferior iliac spine - origin of straight head of rectus which is therefore a hip flexor as well as a knee extensor. Greater trochanter - gluteus medius and minimus and four small rotators of the hip attach here; vastus lateralis takes partial origin at the anterior aspect d. e. f. g. point. Lesser trochanter - psoas major and iliacus insert here. Lateral and medial condyles and epicondyles of the femur. Adductor tubercle is located at the medial epicondyle. It is a of attachment of adductor magnus. Patella - a sesamoid bone within the quadriceps tendon, it helps to increases the reduce friction at the anterior aspect of the knee and moment arm of quadriceps. h. i. Tuberosity of the tibia - the patellar ligament attaches here.
