Anatomical reminder Description 1 – Psoas minor tendon 2 – Inguinal ligament 3 – Pubis 4 – Lesser trochanter 5 – Iliac muscle 6 – Psoas major muscle 7 – Psoas minor muscle 8 –
Anatomical reminder These muscles include: The piriformis muscle The upper and lower gastrocnemius muscles The square femoris muscle The internal and external obturator muscles 1- gluteus maximus muscle (cut) 2- gluteus medius muscle (sectioned) 3-
Anatomical reminder This posterior compartment contains the following muscles: Biceps femoris with 2 heads: long and short Semi-tendinosus Semi-membranous The semitendinosus and the semimembranosus form the medial muscles of the posterior compartment of the thigh,
Anatomical reminder Muscle composed of 4 heads: Right femoral vastus medialis Vast Intermediate wide lateral The muscles of the quadriceps group insert all 4, distally, on the patella. The patella is attached to the anterior
Anatomical reminder The hip adductor muscles are located in the medial and inner part of the thigh between the quadriceps group, in front, and the muscles of the posterior compartment of the thigh behind. From
Anatomical reminder The posterior part of the gluteus medius muscle sits deep within the gluteus maximus muscle. Its lower part covers the small gluteus muscle. The proximal insertions of the muscle are on the anterior
Anatomical reminder The gluteus maximus muscle attaches proximally to the iliac crest, the lateral part of the sacrum and to the coccyx. The distal part attaches to the femur and the iliotibial band of the
Myofascial syndrome of the gluteus minimus muscle is responsible for pseudo-sciatica. The contracture of this muscle is responsible for pain projecting on the lateral part of the thigh sometimes up to the ankle (red zone).
