Translation
Quote 1.
[Eng]
Chullin 54b3
The Gemara addresses
the matter itself: Rav Mattana says: This head of the femur that was completely
dislocated renders the animal a tereifa. And Rava said: The animal is kosher,
but if its sinew holding the bone in place is cut, it is a tereifa. The Gemara
concludes: And the halakha is: Even if the sinew is cut, the animal is still
kosher, unless the sinew decomposed, in which case the animal is a tereifa.

Quote 2.
[Eng]
Chullin 91a12
The Gemara asks: And what is the reason that Rabbi Yehuda holds that only the sciatic nerve of the right thigh is forbidden by Torah law? Rava said that it is because the verse states: “Therefore the children of Israel eat not the sciatic nerve that is upon the spoon of the thigh” (Genesis 32:33). The definite article indicates that this is referring to the most important thigh. (original source: sefaria.org)
Quote 3.
[Eng]
Decisions 12a:16
16. The Gemara asks: From where is this inferred? The Gemara answers: It is as Rava said with regard to the term “the thigh” in the verse: “The sciatic nerve that is on the hollow of the thigh” (Genesis 32:33); the reference is to the stronger of the thighs. Here too, where the verse states: “The anointed,” the reference is to the most distinguished of those anointed, i.e., the High Priest. (original source: sefaria.org)
