Every Athlete’s Injury • The one area of the body that all athlete’s need to pay greatest attention to is the leg - more importantly the thigh - video - this is especially true for sprinters • We are going to look at three injuries that are the result of speed/velocity • “I pulled my GROIN!” • “That’s a hammy!” • “I got a charley horse”
The thigh is the area of the body spanning distally from the knee and proximally to the hip • It is composed of a single bone, the FEMUR and many muscles • largest, longest and second strongest bone in the human body • can withstand 30 times an adult’s weight! Head Greater Trochanter Lesser Trochanter Shaft (Linea aspera) Patellar surface Lateral condyle Medial condyle
Trochanter: Condyle: Bony prominences at the proximal end of the femur; muscle attachment for hip and thigh muscles A rounded prominence at the end of a bone, most often for articulation with another bone
The Pelvis Sacrum Iliac crest Ilium Anterior Superior iliac crest Anterior Inferior iliac crest Coccyx Pubis Ischium Acetabulum Ischial tuberosity
The Hip Joint • the hip joint is the articulation of the proximal end of the femur (head) and the acetabulum of the pelvis What type of joint? Ball and socket • is the primary connection between the appendicular skeleton of the lower body and the axial skeleton
to understand the musculature of the hip and thigh we will look at it from 4 different areas: flexor/extensors, adductor, anterior and posterior
Hip Flexors and Extensors The Glutes Gluteus maximus Gluteus medius Gluteus minimus
Gluteus maximus O: crest of ilium, sacrum and coccyx I: greater trochanter of femur and iliotibial tract F: hip extension and external rotation Gluteus medius O: lateral surface of ilium I: posterior surface of greater trochanter F: abduction and internal rotation of the hip Gluteus minimus O: lateral surface of ilium I: anterior surface of greater trochanter F: abduction and internal rotation of the hip
Tensor fasciae latae O: anterior iliac crest I: iliotibial tract F: flex, abduct and medially rotate thigh Sartorius O: anterior superior iliac spin I: medial surface of tibia F: (crosses 2 joints) flexion and lateral rotation of hip and helps flex knee

Psoas minor -present in less than 50% of the population -evolutionary remnant Iliacus Iliopsoas O: inner surface of ilium I: less trochanter of femur F: hip flexion Psoas major O: first 5 lumbar vertebrae I: lesser trochanter of femur F: hip and trunk flexion
Hip Adductors Pectineus O: supeior pubis I: lesser trochanter to linea aspera F: hip adduction and flexion Adductor longus Adductor brevis O: body of pubis I: linea aspera F: hip adduction O: inferior of pubis I: linea aspera F: hip adduction and flexion Adductor magnus Gracilis O: inferior pubis and ischial tuberosity I: linea aspera F: hip adduction and extension O: inferior pubis I: below medial tibial condyle F: adducts hip and flexes knee

Anterior Thigh (Quadriceps) –4 muscles Vastus lateralis O: lateral side of linea aspera and greater trochanter F: knee extension and hip flexion Rectus femoris O: anterior inferior iliac spine F: knee extension and hip flexion Vastus intermedius O: anterior shaft of femur F: knee extension Vastus medialis O: medial aspect of linea aspera F: knee extension All quad muscles join into patellar tendon, wrap around the patella and insert on the tibial tuberosity of tiba

Posterior Thigh -Hamstrings Semitendinosus O: ischial tuberosity I: tendon inserts on proximal tibia below medial condyle F: flexes and internally rotates knee and extends hip Biceps femoris O: 2 heads – 1 off ischial tuberosity and 1 off linea aspera I: heads join into head of fibula F: extensor of hip and flexor of knee; rotates flexed knee Semimembranosus O: ischial tuberosity I: posterior aspect of medial tibial condyle F: flexes and medially rotates knee; extends hip

“I pulled my GROIN!” (GROIN strain) Adductor longus ** Remember, ligaments sprain and MUSCLES STRAIN** • An injury to the one or more of the thigh adductor (groin) muscles Caused by quick acceleration or a sudden change in direction • 3 Grades of strains Grade I: mild discomfort; no limit to activity Grade II: moderate discomfort; limited running/jumping; some swelling and bruising Grade III: PAIN when walking; swelling and bruising Treatment = R.I.C.E • may have to limit physical activity depending on severity • gradual introduction back to sports
“That’s a hammy!” (Strained hamstring) • An injury to the posterior muscles of the thigh (hamstrings) Caused by overextension of leg during high velocity activities • 3 Grades of strains Grade I: minor tears; tightness in knee flexion, discomfort when walking, minor swelling Grade II: partial tear; limp; pain in knee flexion and palpation; swelling Grade III: complete tear; crutches?, PAIN, swelling immediate Treatment = R.I.C.E - video - limit physical activity depending on severity -Anti inflammatory drugs -stretching
“I got a charley horse” (Quadriceps contusion) • An injury often to the anterior muscles of thigh (quads) Often caused by a rapid impact to the muscle -muscle compressed against a bone (femur) • Also called “dead leg” • 2 types: Intramuscular: tearing of muscle within sheath; limited visible bleeding, but loss of function; days or weeks to recover Intermuscular: tearing of muscle and part of sheath; visible bleeding, visible bruising, recovery quicker • 3 Grades: Grade I: tightness in thigh; little swelling and some trouble walking Grade II: swelling, pain upon palpation, unable to full flex at knee, pain during activity; limp Grade III: immediate swelling, severe pain, crutches; out 3-12 weeks
