Quadratus femoris muscle level

This tutorial explores the anatomy of the hip joint, focusing on its mobility and connection to the lower limbs. It covers anatomical planes, bony structures like the femur and hip bone, and the musculature at the quadratus femoris level. The tutorial also discusses blood vessels and nerves, including the femoral artery and sciatic nerve, providing a comprehensive overview of the region's anatomy.
