The Apollo's belt, also known as Adonis belt, or iliac furrows, is a part of the human anatomy referring to the two shallow grooves of the human abdomen running from the iliac crest (hip bone) to the pubis. The shape of the grooves are formed by the inguinal ligament. [1]
The sartorius muscle originates from the anterior superior iliac spine, [4] and part of the notch between the anterior superior iliac spine and anterior inferior iliac spine. It runs obliquely across the upper and anterior part of the thigh in an inferomedial direction. [3] It passes behind the medial condyle of the femur to end in a
The severity of symptoms of damage to the iliohypogastric nerve can show whether damage occurred above or below the anterior superior iliac spine. [6] Bone may be harvested from the nearby iliac crest for use elsewhere in the body. [5] As the subcostal nerve lies close to the anterior superior iliac spine, this is put at risk of damage. [5]
The anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS) is a bony eminence on the anterior border of the hip bone, or, more precisely, the wing of the ilium. Structure.
The iliopsoas is the prime mover of hip flexion, and is the strongest of the hip flexors (others are rectus femoris, sartorius, and tensor fasciae latae). [3] The iliopsoas is important for standing, walking, and running. [2] The iliacus and psoas major perform different actions when postural changes occur.
The ischium (/ ˈ ɪ s k i. ə m /; [1] pl.: ischia) is a paired bone forming the lower and back part of the hip bone. Situated below the ilium and behind the pubis, it is one of three regions whose fusion creates the coxal bone. The superior portion of this region forms approximately one-third of the acetabulum.
Osgood–Schlatter disease causes pain in the front lower part of the knee. [9] This is usually at the ligament-bone junction of the patellar ligament and the tibial tuberosity . [ 10 ] The tibial tuberosity is a slight elevation of bone on the anterior and proximal portion of the tibia .
The anterior gluteal line is the middle curved gluteal line on the hip bone. It is the longest of the three gluteal lines, begins at the iliac crest, about 4 cm. behind its anterior extremity, and, taking a curved direction downward and backward, ends at the upper part of the greater sciatic notch.
