  • Groin
  1. Groin is centered around the pubic rami and pubi symphysis
    1. Forces generated with kicking, rotation or lateral movement
    2. Pubic tubercle bears a majority of the torque forces in the region
      1. Attaches hip adductors
      2. Attaches Lower abdominal Muscles
  2. Tendon and Ligament Insertions
    1. Superior
      1. Rectus Abdominis insertion (at superior pubic ramus, stabilizes abdominal wall)
    2. Medial
      1. Pubic Symphysis
    3. Lateral
      1. Inguinal Ligament
    4. Inferior
      1. Adductor longus Muscle insertion (at pubis adjacent to Pubic Symphysis, stabilizes Pelvis)
  3. Muscles
    1. Hip Adductors
      1. Adductor Longus Muscle
      2. Adductor Brevis Muscle
      3. Gracilis Muscle (also hip flexor)
      4. Pectineus Muscle (also hip flexor)
      5. Adductor Magnus Muscle
    2. Hip Abduction
      1. Gluteus Medius
      2. Gluteus Minimus
      3. Tensor fasciae latae Muscle
    3. Hip Flexors
      1. Iliopsoas Muscle
      2. Rectus femoris Muscle
      3. Gracilis Muscle (also hip adductor)
      4. Pectineus Muscle (also hip adductor)
      5. Sartorius Muscle
    4. Hip Extensors
      1. Gluteus maxiumus
      2. Biceps femoris
      3. Semimembranosus
      4. Semitendinosus
  4. Bony Landmarks
    1. Hip Bones (Innominate Bones or Os Coxae)
      1. Fusion of the ilium, Ischium and Pubis
      2. Weight is transferred from the upright spine via the Sacrum to the hip bones
    2. Bony Pelvis
      1. Left and Right Hip Bones (ilium, Ischium and Pubis) join at Symphysis Pubis anteriorly
      2. Sacrum joins each hip bone posteriorly
