Anatomically safe sites for intramuscular injections: a cross-sectional study on young adults and cadavers with a focus on the thigh

Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2020
The anatomical safety of intramuscular injections at the deltoid and ventrogluteal sites has been investigated; however, the anatomical relationship between intramuscular injection sites in the thigh and major blood vessels and nerves remains unclear. We

Assessment of Quadriceps Muscle in Advanced Knee Osteoarthritis and Correlation with Lower Limb Alignment

Medicina
Background and Objectives: Despite extensive studies of the role of quadriceps and quadriceps/hamstring balance in knee osteoarthritis (OA), the roles of the vastus intermedius, medialis, and lateralis in OA remain unclear.

Reconstruction of Abdominal Wall Defects Using a Pedicled Anterolateral Thigh Flap including the Vastus Lateralis Muscle: A Report of Two Cases

Case Reports in Surgery, 2016
The purpose of abdominal wall reconstruction is to prevent hernias and protect the abdominal viscera. In cases involving full-thickness defects of the rectus abdominis muscle, the muscle layer should be repaired.

New insight in the architecture of the quadriceps tendon

Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics, 2016
Background Published data regarding the structure of the quadriceps tendon are diverse. Dissection of the quadriceps muscle group revealed that beside the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius and vastus medialis a fifth muscle component ...

Muscle-Tendon Unit Properties during Eccentric Exercise Correlate with the Creatine Kinase Response

Frontiers in Physiology, 2017
Aim: The aim of this paper was to determine whether; (1) patella tendon stiffness, (2) the magnitude of vastus lateralis fascicle lengthening, and (3) eccentric torque correlate with markers of exercise induced muscle damage.Method: Combining dynamometry

Hydatid cyst in the vastus lateralis muscle: a case report

Clinical Cases in Mineral and Bone Metabolism, 2017
Hydatidosis is a zoonotic disease; human infection occurs through the consumption of food and water contaminated with the eggs of parasites of the Echinococcus type. While the liver is the most common site of infection, involvement of the musculoskeletal system is extremely rare.

Intramuscular neural distribution of the vastus lateralis informs effective and safe botulinum neurotoxin injection

Scientific Reports
Understanding the nerve distribution within the vastus lateralis muscle in relation to anatomical landmarks is essential for effective botulinum neurotoxin injections to manage chronic anterior knee pain and vastus lateralis muscle tone disorders.

Is it truly impossible to strengthen the vastus medialis in isolation from the entire quadriceps muscle group?

Heliyon
Background: To date, no specific exercises have been designed to selectively strengthen the vastus medialis muscle. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to provide a clear answer to the question: Is it truly impossible to strengthen the vastus ...
