APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The sartorius flexes, abducts, and laterally rotates the thigh at the hip joint. It also aids in the flexion of the knee joint and the medial rotation of the leg in this position. The sartorius is a long band-like muscle that runs lateral to medial, crossing the anterior aspect of the thigh.

Detailed explanation-2: -The gluteus maximus extends the hip, while the gluteus medius and minimus are involved in hip rotation and abduction (moving hip out from the midline). The adductor group (adductor brevis, longus, and magnus along with petineus and gracilis) moves the femur towards the midline from an abducted position.
