Term
fascia lata
Definition
proximally attaches to iliac crest

distally blends with bony points of the knee
-condyles of femur and tibia
-head of the fibula

continuous with two intermuscular septa which both attach to length of linea aspera
Term
iliotibial band
Definition
thickened lateral portion of the fascia lata

splits to enclose tensor fascia lata and gluteus maximus

distally blends with aponeurotic expansion of vastus lateralis and with tibial condyle and gerdy's tubercle
Term
lateral intermuscular septum
Definition
proximally extends from attachment of gluteus max down to lateral condyle of the femur

separates vast. lat. from short head of biceps
Term
medial intermuscular septum
Definition
thin, separates vast. med. from adductors and pectineus
Term
crural fascia
Definition
continuous with fascia lata

prox. attaches to patella and patellar lig., tib condyles, tib tubercle and head of fib

continuous with flexor and extensor retinaculae at ankle
Term
deltoid fascia
Definition
proximally covers deltoid, blends with clavicle, acromion and spine of scapula

continuous with pectoral fascia anteriorly and infraspinous fascia posteriorly
Term
brachial fascia
Definition
forms thin loose sheath enclosing muscles in upper arm

proximally continuous with deltoid and pactoral fascia

distally blends with humeral epicondyles and olecranon process

continuous with antebrachial fascia, lateral and medial intermuscular septa
Term
lateral intermuscular septum of the arm
Definition
extends from lower lateral lip of intertubercular groove along lateral supracondylar ridge of the epicondyle

gives partial attachment to triceps, brachialis, brachioradialis and extensor carpi radialis longus, blends with deltoid tendon
Term
medial intermuscular septum of the arm
Definition
thicker than lateral septum

extends from lower medial lip and intertubercular groove along medial supracondylar ridge to medial epicondyle
Term
antebrachial fascia
Definition
continuous with brachial fascia but more dense

thicker posteriorly and distally

distally continuous with extensor and flexor retinaculae of wrist
