Segmental Anatomy of the Vastus Lateralis

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2015
The vastus lateralis muscle is a versatile donor site for pedicled and free flaps that, despite great potential, remains unpopular. Although the muscle is classically described as a single belly, evidence exists for a more complex morphology. The aim of this study was to investigate the segmental anatomy of the vastus lateralis muscle and the ...

Anatomic Study of the Distally Based Vastus Lateralis Muscle Flap

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1999
The anatomy of the vascular perforation to the distal portions of the vastus lateralis muscle has been studied in 20 cadaver extremities to outline the vascular basis for distally based vastus lateralis muscle flap. From the 15.4 +/- 2.4, 11.8 +/- 1.7, and 7.9 +/- 2.0 cm distally to the patella, three quite large branches that issue from the deep ...

The use of a vastus lateralis muscle flap to repair a gluteal defect

British Journal of Plastic Surgery, 1983
The vastus lateralis flap offers a simple method of repair of gluteal defects in the paraplegic patient. The details of the surgical technique and the advantages of the vastus lateralis flap are described.

Muscle Stiffness of the Vastus Lateralis in Sprinters and Long-Distance Runners

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2019
ABSTRACT Purpose The stiffness of muscle–tendon units and of tendons in the lower legs plays important roles in sprinting and long-distance running. However, the association of muscle stiffness with sprinting and running remains unknown. This study aimed to identify the characteristics of muscle stiffness in sprinters

Geometrical factors in surface EMG of the vastus medialis and lateralis muscles

Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology, 2000
Surface EMG signals detected in dynamic conditions are affected by a number of artefacts. Among them geometrical factors play an important role. During movement the muscle slides with respect to the skin because of the variation of its length. Such a shift can considerably modify sEMG amplitude.

Histochemical study of the vastus lateralis muscle fibre types of athletes

Journal of Physiology and Biochemistry, 1998
In 16 women and 66 men, aged 14 to 36 years, 10 sedentary and 72 athletes, the histochemical characteristics of the vastus muscle fibres have been studied. Muscle biopsies were processed histochemically using the myofibrillar ATPase method, and were classified according to gender, sport activity and type of exercise.

Advancement of the vastus lateralis muscle for the treatment of hip abductor discontinuity

The Journal of Arthroplasty, 2004
Impaired abductor function of the hip resulting from a discontinuous gluteus medius often is encountered in revision hip surgery. If the gluteus medius can be reattached to the proximal femur, functional results are satisfactory. If this is not possible, it would be desirable to restore the continuity of the gluteus medius by bridging the defect with ...

Morphological variations of the human vastus lateralis muscle.

Journal of anatomy, 1990
Variations in the gross morphology of quadriceps femoris were assessed in 40 cadavers. An additional (fifth) head was present in about one third of the limbs. Distally, fusion between vastus lateralis and vastus intermedius varied from almost complete fusion to less than one third of the interface between the muscles. Discrete tendinous laminae arising

Patellofemoral pain and the mechanomyographic responses of the vastus lateralis and vastus medialis muscles.

Electromyography and clinical neurophysiology, 2009
The purpose of this investigation was to examine the influence of patellofemoral pain (PFP) on the amplitude of the mechanomyographic (MMG) and electromyographic (EMG) signals from the vastus lateralis and vastus medialis muscles of the quadriceps femoris.
