It is smaller than the inferior gemellus. In some people, the fibres of the gemellus superior extend further than average, and are prolonged onto the medial surface of the greater trochanter of the femur. [1] The superior and inferior gemelli are supplied by the inferior gluteal artery. Nerve supply to the superior gemellus is from the supply ...
The lateral rotator group is a group of six small muscles of the hip which all externally (laterally) rotate the femur in the hip joint.It consists of the following muscles: piriformis, gemellus superior, obturator internus, gemellus inferior, quadratus femoris and the obturator externus.
gemellus superior; obturator internus; pectineus ; gemellus inferior; obturator externus; quadratus femoris; Sartorius; of leg at knee [3] Biceps femoris; of eyeball (motion is also called "extorsion" or excyclotorsion) [4] Inferior rectus muscle; Inferior oblique muscle
It passes inferior-ward upon the ischium deep to the sciatic nerve, [2] [3] the superior and inferior gemellus muscles, and the tendon of the obturator internus. [2] It traverses the posterior aspect of the hip joint , [ 3 ] here issuing an articular (sensory) branch to the joint.
This fossa is the point of insertion of four muscles. Moving from the inferior-most to the superior-most, they are: the tendon of the obturator externus muscle, the obturator internus, the superior gemellus and inferior gemellus. The width and depth of the trochanteric fossa varies taxonomically. [1] [2] [3]
The hip has five external rotators: The piriformis, superior gemellus, obturator internus, inferior gemellus, and quadratus femoris. (External rotation is an anatomical term of motion to describe rotation away from the center of the body.)
These bands leave the pelvis through the lesser sciatic foramen and unite into a single flattened tendon, which passes horizontally across the capsule of the hip-joint, and, after receiving the attachments of the superior and inferior gemellus muscles, is inserted into the forepart of the medial surface of the greater trochanter above the ...
It emerges inferior to the piriformis muscle and exits the pelvis through the greater sciatic foramen.It travels round the base of the ischial spine [2] lateral to the internal pudendal artery and nerve, and - while doing so - issues a branch to the gemellus superior, which enters the upper part of the posterior surface of the muscle.
