Iliac Attachment of the Psoas Major Muscle: Anatomical Study of a Novel Muscle Attachment

Clinical Anatomy
ABSTRACT The iliopsoas muscle is important functionally and is often encountered during various surgical procedures. During routine cadaveric dissection, a previously undescribed muscular structure was located deep to the iliacus muscle and coursed inferomedially to merge with the posterior aspect of the psoas major, running over the ...

Psoas muscle index is not representative of skeletal muscle index for evaluating cancer sarcopenia

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2023
Background A common method for diagnosing sarcopenia involves estimating the muscle mass by computed tomography (CT) via measurements of the cross‐sectional muscle area (CSMA) of all muscles at the third lumbar vertebra (L3) level.
