		All of the muscles of the medial compartment of the thigh are adductors of the hip joint.
		The vastus medialis muscle forms a part of the quadriceps femoris muscle and thus belongs to the anterior group of muscles of the thigh.
		Other relations of the pectineus muscle its lateral border is adjacent to the psoas major and the medial circumflex femoral vessels, its medial border is adjacent to the lateral margin of the adductor longus muscle.

		This nerve innervates the muscles of the medial compartment of the thigh, the adductor longus, adductor brevis, part of the adductor magnus and the gracilis, and part of the pectineus muscle.
		This nerve is composed of the tibial nerve and the common peroneal nerve; it innervates muscles in the posterior compartment of the thigh and all of the muscles in the leg and foot.
		The mandibular nerve is responsible for the innervation of all of the muscles of mastication: the masseter, the temporalis, the medial pterygoid, and the lateral pterygoid muscles.

	Innervation
		It provides motor and sensory innervation to the anterior compartment of the thigh as well as sensory innervation to the medial leg and foot.
		It innervates most muscles of the posterior thigh, all muscles of the leg and foot, all joints of the lower extremity, and the skin of the foot and most of the leg and thigh.
		Muscular branches supply all intrinsic muscles of the plantar foot not innervated by the medial plantar nerve.

	Breakthroughs in Bracing - February 2001 - Rehab Management - The Interdisciplinary Journal of Rehabilitation
		Focusing on a varus deformity or a medial impinged compartment, forces must be applied to the medial thigh and calf while a counterforce is applied by the placement of the knee joint itself by using condylar pads.
		When the lateral compartment of the knee is compromised, for example, with a valgus type deformity, there is a subsequent increase in the pain and pressure on the lateral knee compartment.
		The patient should be able to note the changes in the proprioception of the movement of the knee, and determine which is a more comfortable range of motion.

		ischiadicus; great sciatic nerve) supplies nearly the whole of the skin of the leg, the muscles of the back of the thigh, and those of the leg and foot.

		All of the muscles of the posterior compartment are innervated by the tibial nerve.
		The popliteal fossa is defined superomedially by the tendons of the semimembranosus and semitendinosus muscles, superolaterally by the tendon of the biceps femoris muscle, and inferiorly by the medial and lateral heads of the gastrocnemius muscle.
		Muscles of the deep posterior compartment assist the muscles of the superficial compartment in plantar flexion and inversion of the foot at the ankle, but their important functions are elsewhere.

	eMedicine - Bursitis : Article by Janet Talbot-Stern, MD
		Anserine bursitis occurs as an overuse or traumatic injury in athletes (particularly long-distance runners), and it must be differentiated from medial collateral ligament strain or osteoarthritis of the medial compartment of the knee.
		Pain of iliopsoas bursitis radiates down the anteromedial side of the thigh to the knee and is increased on extension, adduction, and internal rotation of the hip.
		This bursitis may be associated with rheumatoid arthritis of the hips, osteoarthritis of the hips, and leg-length discrepancies.

		Focusing on a varus deformity or a medial impinged compartment, forces must be applied to the medial thigh and calf while a counterforce is applied by the placement of the knee joint itself by using condylar pads.
		In our example of a varus deformity, the lateral upright is adjusted through the use of a “cam” type device on the upper and lower uprights that applies a corrective force on the knee itself.
		The patient should be able to note the changes in the proprioception of the movement of the knee, and determine which is a more comfortable range of motion.

		The femoral nerve (Netter, 506) emerges beneath the inguinal ligament (lateral to the femoral artery) and divides into sensory branches and motor branches supplying various muscles of the anterior compartment of the thigh.
		The medial border of the adductor longus muscle forms the medial boundary of the femoral triangle.
		The femoral circumflex arteries, together with a descending branch of the inferior gluteal and a branch of the first perforating artery meet posterior to the upper part of the femur, the cruciate anastomosis.

	biceps femoris muscle (anatomy) - General Practice Notebook
		The nerve supply of biceps femoris reflects the fact that the short head develops in the flexor compartment of the thigh - it is innervated by the common peroneal branch of the sciatic nerve (L5, S1).
		The long head arises from the medial facet on the ischial tuberosity in continuity with the tendon of origin of semitendinosus.
		The biceps femoris muscle of the leg derives its name from having two heads of origin, long and short.

		The anterior compartment of the leg consists of extensor hallucis longus, extensor digitorum longus, tibialis anterior, and peroneus tertius.
		The femoral hernia can be easily palpated on the anterior aspect of the thigh and surgical treatment is the best.
		The muscles involved in the lateral compartments are: fibularis longus and brevis and these provide for weak plantar flexion of foot at the ankle joint and mostly eversion of the foot.
