Proximal Lower Extremity

About the Book

In this enhanced video book of the Human Anatomy Video Project series the structures of the proximal lower extremity are considered from anterior, femoral triangle, medial, lateral and gluteal perspectives. The neurovascular structures of the femoral triangle are key in a vast array of clinical scenarios.  The hip joint is discussed in terms of surrounding structures, anatomic and surgical approaches and its basic configuration.  Vasculature and innervation of the lower extremity are taught with emphasis on their courses and functionality.  Considerable time is spent on the gluteal region with its connections to pelvis and perineum.
