Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

The muscles of the thigh subdivide into three compartments. The anterior compartment, medial compartment and posterior compartment. The function of the anterior compartment muscles is to extend the lower limb at the knee joint. The anterior compartment has its particular innervation and circulation unique to this compartment. The innervation of the anterior compartment of the thigh is from the femoral nerve (L2 through L4).
