  2. Ischial tuberosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ischial_tuberosity

    The tuberosity is divided into two portions: a lower, rough, somewhat triangular part, and an upper, smooth, quadrilateral portion. The lower portion is subdivided by a prominent longitudinal ridge, passing from base to apex, into two parts: The outer gives attachment to the adductor magnus; The inner to the sacrotuberous ligament

  3. Sacrotuberous ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacrotuberous_ligament

    It runs from the sacrum (the lower transverse sacral tubercles, the inferior margins sacrum and the upper coccyx [1]) to the tuberosity of the ischium. It is a remnant of part of biceps femoris muscle. The sacrotuberous ligament is attached by its broad base to the posterior superior iliac spine, the posterior sacroiliac ligaments (with which ...

  4. Hamstring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamstring

    The common criteria of any hamstring muscles are: Muscles should originate from ischial tuberosity. Muscles should be inserted over the knee joint, in the tibia or in the fibula. Muscles will be innervated by the tibial branch of the sciatic nerve. Muscle will participate in flexion of the knee joint and extension of the hip joint.

  5. Semimembranosus muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semimembranosus_muscle

    The semimembranosus muscle, so called from its membranous tendon of origin, is situated at the back and medial side of the thigh. It is wider, flatter, and deeper than the semitendinosus (with which it shares very close insertion and attachment points). [1] The muscle overlaps the upper part of the popliteal vessels.

  6. Ischium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ischium

    The body contains a prominent spine, which serves as the origin for the superior gemellus muscle. The indentation inferior to the spine is the lesser sciatic notch. Continuing down the posterior side, the ischial tuberosity is a thick, rough-surfaced prominence below the lesser sciatic notch. This is the portion that supports weight while ...

  7. Biceps femoris tendon rupture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biceps_femoris_tendon_rupture

    If the athlete is fatigued or has not warmed up properly he/she may suffer a hamstring strain/rupture, which is the tearing of the hamstring muscle. Avulsion of the biceps femoris tendon is the complete pulling away of the tendon from the bone. This most commonly occurs where the long head attaches to the ischial tuberosity.

  8. Gemelli muscles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemelli_muscles

    The gemelli muscles are two small muscular fasciculi, accessories to the tendon of the internal obturator muscle which is received into a groove between them. The superior gemellus muscle is the higher placed gemellus muscle that arises from the outer (gluteal) surface of the ischial spine , and blends with the upper part of the tendon of the ...

  9. Tubercle (bone) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubercle_(bone)

    In the skeleton of humans and other animals, a tubercle, tuberosity or apophysis is a protrusion or eminence that serves as an attachment for skeletal muscles. The muscles attach by tendons, where the enthesis is the connective tissue between the tendon and bone. [1] A tuberosity is generally a larger tubercle.
