iliac tubercle
ASIS
deep surface of fascia lata
tensor fascia latae
-insertion
iliobitial tract of fascia lata
-attaches to lateral condyle of tibia
tensor fascia latae
-actions
thigh -flexion -medial rotation (internal) -abduction tenses fascia lata may assist in knee extension steadies trunk on thigh
tensor fascia latae
-innervation
superior gluteal nerve
-dorsal divisional of L4, L5, S1
gluteus maximus
-origin
external surface -ala of ilium - posterior to posterior gluteal line -iliac crest dorsal surface of sacrum coccyx sacrotuberous ligament
gluteus maximus
-insertion
iliotibial tract (which inserts in lateral condyle of tibia) gluteal tuberosity of femur
gluteus maximus
-actions
thigh -extension (more in forced movements such as climbing and running) lateral rotation steadies thigh flexion (during sitting) extends pelvis when thigh fixed
gluteus maximus
-innervation
inferior gluteal nerve
-dorsal divisions of L5, S1, S2
gluteus medius
-origin
external surface of ilium
-between anterior and posterior gluteal lines
gluteus medius
-insertion
lateral surface of greater trochanter of femur
gluteus medius
-actions
abduction of thigh
medial rotation of thigh (anterior fibers)
lateral rotation of thigh (posterior fibers)
steadies pelvis (tilts) to same side during locomotion, allowing opposite side foot to clear ground
-fixing of femur and abduction tilts the pelvis
gluteus medius
-innervation
superior gluteal nerve
-dorsal divisions of L4, L5, S1
gluteus minimus
-origin
external surface of ilium
-between anterior and inferior gluteal lines
gluteus minimus
-insertion
anterior surface of greater trochanter of femur
gluteus minimus
-actions
abduction of thigh
medial rotation of thigh
steadies pelvis (same as G. medius)
gluteus minimus
-innervation
superior gluteal nerve
-dorsal divisions of L4, L5, S1
piriformis
-origin
anterior surface of sacrum (within the pelvis)
superior margin of greater sciatic notch
sacrotuberous ligament
piriformis
-insertion
superior border of the greater trochanter
-leaves pelvis minor through greater sciatic foramen
piriformis
-actions
rotates thigh (extended) laterally
abducts (flexed) thigh
assist in holding the head of the femur in the acetabulum
piriformis
-innervation
dorsal division branches of ventral rami of S1 and S2
obturator internus
-origin
pelvic surfaces of ilium and ischium
internal surface of obturator membrane
obturator internus
-insertion
medial surface of greater trochanter of femur
obturator internus
-actions
laterally rotates extended thigh
abducts flexed thigh
assists in holding head of femur in acetabulum
obturator internus
-innnervation
nerve to obturator internus (ventral divisions of L5, S1
obturator externus
-origin
rami of pubis and ischium
external surface of obturator membrane
obturator externus
-insertion
trochanteric fossa of femur
obturator externus
-actions
laterally rotates extended thigh
steadies head of femur in acetabulum
obturator externus
-innervation
obturator nerve (L3, L4)
gemellus superior, inferior
-origin
superior
-ischial spine
inferior
-ischial tuberosity
gemellus superior, inferior
-insertion
medial surface of greater trochanter
-common tendon with obturator internus
gemellus superior, inferior
-actions
same as obturator internus
-laterally rotates extended thigh
abducts flexed thigh
assists in holding head of femur in acetabulum
gemellus superior, inferior
-innervation
superior
-nerve to obturator internus (ventral divisions of L5, S1)
inferior
-nerve to quadratus femoris (ventral divisions of L5, S1)
quadratus femoris
-origin
lateral border of ischial tuberosity
-inferior to gemellus inferior
quadratus femoris
-insertion
on and inferior to quadrate tubercle on intertrochanteric crest
