	Gracilis Muscle Flap
		The gracilis muscle is long and thin, tapering from its widest point superiorly to a tendinous insertion on the medial knee inferiorly.
		The medial thigh scar is slightly posterior to the midline and relatively inconspicuous.
		The muscle is innervated by the anterior branch of the obturator nerve, itself a branch of the lumbar plexus.

	Muscle Associations : Ipsilateral association
		The descending reticular formation is mostly an ipsilateral system of double innervating to the organs and muscles: the lateral reticulo spinal tract reaches the preganglionic autonomic fibers and the medial reticulo spinal tract reaches the lower motor neurons (see Figure 1-7).
		The tensor of the fascia lata arises from the outer lip of the crest of the ilium and the anterior superior iliac spine, and it follows the outer side of the thigh to become the ilio-tibial band that inserts on the external tuberosity of the tibia.
		The main activity of these three muscles is to stabilize the hip joint in the standing position and to support the body when standing on one limb.

		The sartorius is the longest muscle in the body.
		It is narrow and ribbon-like and stems from the iliac spine and the upper half of the notch below it.
		The sartorius flexes, abducts (moves away from the body), and rotates the thigh sideways at the hip.

		Comprises of the quadriceps femoris, sartorius and tensor fasciae latae mm.
		Proximal attachments are: the inguinal ligament, the external lip of the iliac crest, the posterior surface of the sacrum and coccyx, the sacrotuberous ligament, the ischial tuberosity, the margin of the pubic arch, the body of the pubis, and the pubic tubercle.
		The surface marking of the superior border of the piriformis muscle is indicated by a line joining the skin dimple formed by the posterior superior iliac spine, to the superior border of the greater trochanter of the femur.

	Sartorius muscle - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Muscles of the iliac and anterior femoral regions.
		The sartorius muscle arises by tendinous fibers from the anterior superior iliac spine, running obliquely across the upper and anterior part of the thigh in an inferomedial direction.
		The muscle may be split into two parts, and one part may be inserted into the fascia lata, the femur, the ligament of the patella or the tendon of the Semitendinosus.

	Sartorius
		Sartorius is a long thin muscle that runs down the length of the thigh.
		The action of sartorius is to cross the legs, by flexion of the knee, and flexion and lateral rotation the hip.
		Situated in the anterior fascial compartment of the thigh, sartorius is innervated via branches of the femoral nerve[?].

	The Hip
		Further, it is critical to understand the lumbar and sacral region, the important nerve roots that enervate the muscles of the lower extremities, and the consequences of subluxation, herniation, and deterioration of the spine from past injury.
		Lying underneath the piriformis, the obturator internus muscle arises at the medial surface of the pubis, and passes the lesser sciatic notch to insert onto the greater trochanter laterally.
		The rectus abdominus is the anterior muscle of the abdominal wall, rising from the middle ribs, passing down the abdomen and narrowing as it insert onto the pubis.

		The sartorius muscle is a long thin muscle that runs down the length of the thigh.
		Sartorius forms the lateral side of the femoral triangle.
		An offset, from its upper margin, blends with the capsule of the knee-joint, and another from its lower border, with the fascia on the medial side of the leg.

	Chapter 14 - Muscle Contraction
		The muscle fibers are side-by-side, i.e., in parallel, but the name of the class comes from the fact that the muscle fibers shorten in a direction (double headed arrow, f) parallel to the direction of shortening of the muscle (single-headed arrow, F).
		The pennate muscle fibers (B) attach to a common tendon, so that the direction of shortening of the individual fibers (double-headed arrow, f) is different from the direction of shortening of the whole muscle (single-headed arrow, F).
		Muscles are composed of muscle fibers; fibers are composed (in part) of myofibrils; and myofibrils are composed of myofilaments.

		We describe the CT findings of medial transfer of a sartorius muscle flap, which is done to protect the femoral blood vessels after radical inguinal lymphadenectomy for cancer or surgical debridement of infected femoral vascular grafts.
		In complete sartorius muscle transfer, the proximal end of the muscle is dissected from the anterior superior iliac spine, rotated along its long axis, and sutured medially to the inguinal ligament.
		Complete sartorius flap transfer resulted in a mass anterolateral or anterior to the femoral vessels on postoperative CT scans in 20 studies; five of these masses were misinterpreted initially as possible recurrent metastatic lymphadenopathy, infection, or hematoma.

	Chapter 11: The Muscular System
		The muscles that position of the lower limbs can be divided into three functional groups: (1) muscles that move the thigh, (2) muscles that move the leg, and (3) muscles that move the foot and toes.
		The sartorius muscle is the only knee flexor that originates superior to the acetabulum, and its insertion lies along the medial surface of the tibia.
		In the limbs, the interconnections between the superficial fascia, the deep fascia of the muscles, and the periostea of the appendicular skeleton are quite substantial.

	The Visible Human: Transverse Section Through the Thigh
		Some muscles flex the hip (bringing the legs into the chest), extend the hip (kicking the leg behind the body), flex the knee (bending the knee), extend the knee (straightening the knee), and adduct the hip (pressing the inside of the legs together).
		adductor_brevis: Brevis=short, and indeed the adductor brevis is the shortest of the adductors muscles in the thigh.
		The tendon for the biceps femoris muscle may be felt in the same region on the outside of the leg.

	Normal Distal Thigh Anatomy 2
		In the distal thigh, the anterior muscles are the four parts of the largest muscle group in the human body: the quadriceps group.
		Sartor is Latin for tailor, and the sartorius is sometimes referred to as the tailors muscle.
		This may be because the sartorius acts to flex the hip and knee and laterally rotate the hip, just the thing for sitting cross-legged and sewing a garment.

		At the femoral crease, the nerve it is covered by the fascia iliaca and separated from the femoral artery and vein by a portion of the psoas muscle and the ligamentum ileopectineum.
		The motor branches to the sartorius muscle depart from the anteromedial aspect of the femoral nerve toward the sartorius muscle.
		It should be kept in mind that sartorius muscle twitch is not reliable because the branches to the sartorius muscle may be outside the femoral sheath.

		The infrapatellar branch pierces the sartorius muscle and courses anteriorly to the infrapatellar region.
		It is located by palpating along the anteromedial aspect of the vastus medialis muscle and then sliding posteriorly until the edge of the sartorius muscle is felt.
		Due to the angulation of the saphenous nerve over the sartorius muscle tendon after exiting from the adductor canal, traction on the nerve may be produced by limb movement leading to inflammation, edema, and paresthesia.

		The action of this muscle is to adduct and rotate the thigh and extend the shank.
		Posterior to the sartorius, on the lateral surface of the thigh, is the tough and semitransparent fascia lata which extends downward from a triangular muscle, the tensor fascia latae.
		It is a very broad and thick muscle which arises from the ischium and inserts from the patella to the middle of the shaft of the tibia by means of a wide aponeurosis.
