Inferior gemellus muscle Origins: Ischial tuberosity Insertions: Medial surface of greater trochanter, (via tendon of obturator internus) Innervation: Nerve to obturator internus (L5-S2) Function: Hip joint: Thigh external rotation, Thigh abduction (from flexed hip); Stabilizes head of femur in ac...

We revisited the findings of early anatomists and tested the more recent paradigm of a common "iliopsoas" tendon based on dissections of hips and their associated musculature ( n = 17). We rediscovered that the tendon of the psoas muscle inserts only into a crest running from the superior ...
or infection. Secondary hip problems are caused by injury, weakness, or inflammation of the structures surrounding the hip, specifically the muscles, tendons and soft tissue. Hip pain can be related to injury to any of the muscles or tendons (muscle strains/tears, tendon strains/tears) or infl...

Knowing hip anatomy and the mechanism of injury and seeing consistent findings on examination of the patient help in identifying the involved muscle/tendon (Figure 1). (3) Usually, pain and swelling are focal to the myotendinous junction and are accompanied by weakness of the respective muscle....
(groin) hernias are the most common. Femoral hernias that arise from a canal near the hip joint are another type of hernia that might also cause hip pain. A sports hernia (athletic pubalgia) is a strain or tear of any soft tissue (muscle, tendon, ligament) in the lower abdomen or ...
