Sometimes variations in biceps femoris may be noticed like an accessory head of biceps femoris. Here during routine cadaveric dissection in the department of anatomy. All India institute of medical sciences, Jodhpur we found a case with an accessory head of biceps femoris in both the lower limbs. The muscle belly is originating from the fibers of long head of biceps femoris and going downward medially to get inserted to the medial condyle of tibia on its medial superior aspect. On the right-side insertion site is like a sheath and on half a way it is merging with medial intermuscular septum of thigh. On the left side insertion is first like a thin sheath and then a thin muscle belly. The muscle belly is thin as compared to the long and short head of the main muscle bellies. On the left side thickness is around 3.7 mm in the upper end and thinner in the lower end while on right side also it is around 3.75 mm. On right side length of muscle belly is around 5 cm and on left side it is around 5.5 cm muscle belly, then becomes a sheath with length around 0.5 mm and then again becomes a muscle belly of around 3.5 cm length. Short head is arising high up on the left side while on right side it is as normal.

In many cases chronic wounds in the lower extremities are extremely difficult to heal because of inadequate blood supply, and when wounds are complicated by osteomyelitis, plastic surgeons and orthopedic surgeons must join forces to facilitate treatment. A 63-year-old man with bone exposure and a peripherally indurated chronic open wound complicated by osteomyelitis of the right distal thigh was admitted to the department of orthopedic surgery at our hospital. He was referred to our department for treatment of the right side chronic open wound. We report our successful experience with a partial biceps femoris muscle transposition flap with fasciocutaneous expanded-keystone advancement flap following wound and bone debridement for the coverage of complex wounds associated with bone infection. The results show two discrete layers of muscle. In patients with chronic osteomyelitis, fasciocutaneous flaps might provide a more effective means of covering full-depth soft tissue defects without donor site morbidity, compared to free flaps.

Objective To investigate the anatomical characteristics of the biceps femoris short head (BS) and determine the optimal needle placement for BS examination.Methods Twenty-one lower limbs were dissected. The distances from the medial and lateral margins of the biceps femoris long head (BL) tendon to the common fibular nerve (CFN) (M_CFN_VD and L_CFN_VD, respectively) and the distance from the lateral margin of the BL tendon to the lateral margin of the BS (L_BS_HD) were measured 5 cm proximal to the tip of the fibular head (P1), four fingerbreadths proximal to the tip of the fibular head (P2), and at the upper apex of the popliteal fossa (P3).Results The BS was located lateral to the BL tendon. The CFN was located along the medial margin of the BL tendon. The median values were 2.0 (P1), 3.0 (P2), and 0 mm (P3) for M_CFN_VD; and 17.4 (P1), 20.2 (P2), and 21.8 mm (P3) for L_CFN_VD; and 8.1 (P1), 8.8 (P2), and 13.0 mm (P3) for L_BS_VD.Conclusion The lateral approach to the BL tendon was safer than the medial approach for examining the BS. Amore proximal insertion site around the upper apex of the popliteal fossa was more accurate than the distal insertion site. In this study, we propose a safer and more accurate approach for electromyography of the BS.

This study aimed to explore the acute effects of static stretching on the musculotendinous properties of two hamstring muscles. Twelve male volunteers underwent two testing sessions. One session was dedicated to the evaluation of the semitendinosus muscle before (PRE) and after (POST) static stretching (five sets of 30-s stretching), and the other session similarly explored the long head of biceps femoris muscle. In addition to the displacement of the myotendinous junction (MTJ), passive torque and maximal voluntary isometric torque (MVIT) were evaluated. MVIT (−8.3 ± 10.2%, p = 0.0036, d = 0.497) and passive torque (−28.4 ± 16.9%, p = 0.0003, d = 1.017) were significantly decreased POST stretching. PRE stretching, MTJ displacement was significantly greater for semitendinosus muscle than biceps femoris muscle (27.0 ± 5.2 vs. 18.6 ± 3.6, p = 0.0011, d = 1.975). After the stretching procedure, greater MTJ displacement relative changes were observed for biceps femoris muscle as compared to semitendinosus muscle (22.4 ± 31.6 vs. −8.4 ± 17.9, p = 0.0167, d = 1.252). Because of the smaller MTJ displacement PRE stretching and greater alteration POST stretching in biceps femoris muscles, the present study demonstrated muscle-specific acute responses of hamstring muscles during stretching. Although stretching acutely impairs torque production, the passive torque reduction and alteration of MTJ displacement might impact hamstring injury prevention.

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the onset time and the electromyographic activity level of the selected lower limb muscles in the active and inactive old women. Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, 28 old women with a Mean±SD age of 61.07±0.88 years were selected in the inactive (15 people) and active (13 people) groups. The electrical activity of the selected muscles of the lower limbs was collected by the EMG device in a stair down movement. Results: The onset time of tibialis anterior, vastus lateralis, and biceps femoris muscles are faster in the active group (p <0.05). Besides, the activity level of the rectus femoris muscle in the interval of 100 ms before the initial contact and the ratio of the vastus medialis muscle to the biceps femoris muscle was significantly lower (p <0.05) in the active group. Conclusion: It seems that the muscles of the lower limbs in the group of women with regular physical activity are activated faster than the inactive group and the decrease in the activity of the rectus femoris muscle and the ratio of the vastus medialis to the biceps femoris muscle in the active women may be accompanied by fatigue and reduced intra-articular forces. Therefore, it is recommended that old women participate in regular and active exercise programs to improve their onset times of muscle activity.
