The femoral triangle is bounded: [2] superiorly (also known as the base) by the inguinal ligament. [2]medially by the medial border of the adductor longus muscle. (Some people consider the femoral triangle to be smaller hence the medial border being at the lateral border of the adductor longus muscle.) [2]
Borderline: 69° to 82° in men, 51° to 56° in women; Pathological: ≥83° in men and ≥57° in women; Femoral head-neck offset Measured in cross-lateral view. Offset of the femoral head with regard to most prominent aspect of the femora neck >10 mm Offset percentage Femoral head-neck offset related to femoral head diameter >0.18
Facial femoral syndrome is a rare congenital disorder. [1] It is also known as femoral dysgenesis, bilateral femoral dysgenesis, bilateral-Robin anomaly and femoral hypoplasia-unusual facies syndrome. The main features of this disorder are underdeveloped thigh bones and unusual facial features. [2]
Other less regularly present bursae include the subfascial prepatellar, the subtendinous prepatellar, and the subcutaneous prepatellar bursae. Adding to the complex structure of the knee space, there are remnants of three embryonic septal divisions of the knee space called synovial plicae: [5] The suprapatellar plica dividing the suprapatellar ...
Reimer's migration index (MI), also called the femoral extrusion index, [3] is calculated if hip dysplasia is detected. It can be used to indicate hip dislocation . It is the horizontal distance (parallel to the Hilgenreiner Line ) between the Perkin line and the lateral border of the ossification center of the femoral head, divided by the ...
Patellofemoral pain syndrome can become a chronic injury, with an estimated 50% of people reporting persistent patellar-femoral pain after a year. [32] Risk factors for a prolonged recovery (or persistent condition) include age (older athletes), females, increased body weight, a reduction in muscle strength, time to seek care, and in those who ...
Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS), a form of bursitis, is inflammation of the trochanteric bursa, a part of the hip. This bursa is at the top, outer side of the femur , between the insertion of the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus muscles into the greater trochanter of the femur and the femoral shaft .
The submental space is a fascial space of the head and neck (sometimes also termed fascial spaces or tissue spaces). It is a potential space located between the mylohyoid muscle superiorly , the platysma muscle inferiorly , [ 1 ] under the chin in the midline.
