Above, the linea aspera is prolonged by three ridges. The lateral ridge is very rough, and runs almost vertically upward to the base of the greater trochanter.It is termed the gluteal tuberosity, and gives attachment to part of the gluteus maximus: its upper part is often elongated into a roughened crest, on which a more or less well-marked, rounded tubercle, the third trochanter, is ...

The gluteal tuberosity is the lateral prolongation of three prolongations of the linea aspera that extending superior-ward from the superior extremity of the linea aspera [1] on the posterior surface of the femur. [2] The gluteal tuberosity takes the form of either an elongated depression [3] or a rough ridge.
Medial ridge of linea aspera and the adductor tubercle: Vastus lateralis muscle: Origin: Greater trochanter and lateral ridge of linea aspera: Vastus intermedius muscle: Origin: Front and lateral surface of femur Vastus medialis muscle: Origin: Distal part of intertrochanteric line and medial ridge of linea aspera: Short head of biceps femoris ...

The adductor tubercle is a tubercle on the lower extremity of the femur. It is formed where the medial lips of the linea aspera end below at the summit of the medial condyle. It is the insertion point of the tendon of the vertical fibers of the adductor magnus muscle. [1] [2]

The pectineus has its origin on the iliopubic eminence laterally to the gracilis and, rectangular in shape, extends obliquely to attach immediately behind the lesser trochanter and down the pectineal line and the proximal part of the Linea aspera on the femur. It is a flexor of the hip joint, and an adductor and a weak medial rotator of the thigh.
