Piriformis OIFIn
O: Anterior sacrum, posterior iliac spine
I: Medial side of superior border of greater trochanter
F: Lateral rotation of extended thigh, abducts flexed thigh
In: Nerve to piriformis
Superior Gemellus OIFIn
O: Dorsal surface of ischial spine
I: Joins upper edge of obturator internus tendon to medial surface of greater trochanter
F: Lateral rotation of hip, helps abducts a flexed thigh
In: nerve to obturator internus
Obturator internus OIFIn
O: Internal surface of obturator membrane, pelvic brim
I: Anterior medial surface of greater trochanter
F: Lateral rotation of hip, abduction of flexed thigh
In: Nerve to obturator internus
Inferior Gemellus OIFIn
O: Upper portion of ischial tuberosity near lesser sciatic notch
I: Joins inferior edge of obturator internus tendon to medial surface of greater trochanter of femur
F: Lateral rotation of hip
In: Nerve to quaratus femoris
Quadratus Femoris OIFIn
O: Superior portion of lateral ischial tuberosity
I: Above trochanteric crest on posterior femur
F: Lateral rotation of hip
In: Nerve to quadratus femoris
Obturator Externus OIFIn
O: Medial 2/3 of obturator membrane and pubic body and pubic/ischial rami
I: Trochanteric fossa on medial side of greater trochanter
F: Lateral rotation of hip, abducts flexed thigh
