Hip Joint Osteoarthritis

  1. Lower Limb Appendicular Skeleton - VH Dissector Beta Only

    Rotate the skeleton a few times and zoom in and out to see better detail of the bones. Can you go through and identify each bone? What muscle attachments can you identify? What kind of joint is the hip joint?

  2. Anterior Compartment of the Thigh

    The anterior compartment of the thigh includes the quadriceps. What are the names of each muscle that make up the quadriceps? What other muscles are part of the anterior compartment of the thigh? Use the cross sections and 3D model to explore the vasculature and nervous structures that traverse this compartment.

  3. Medial Compartment of the Thigh

    What movement do the muscles in the medial compartment of the thigh generate? Identify each muscle in the medial compartment of the thigh. Notice there relationship between the adductor magnus and the femoral artery. What is the name of the artery after it passes through the adductor hiatus? Look at the abductor brevis muscle, what nerve splits and passes on the anterior and posterior side of this muscle?

  4. Gluteal Region

    Identify each gluteal muscle. What are their attachement points. What is the action of each gluteal muscle? Name the muscles that allow for internal and external rotation of the thigh. Use the 3D model and cross-sections to trace the blood flow and nervous supply to this region.

  5. Posterior Compartment of the Thigh

    The posterior compartment of the thigh includes the hamstrings. What 3 muscles make up the hamstrings? What is the action of this group of muscles? Use the 3D model to figure out the attachment points of the muscles in the posterior compartment of the leg.
