    The internal obturator muscle originates on the medial surface of the obturator membrane, ischium, and pubis. It exits the pelvis through the lesser sciatic foramen and inserts on the medial surface of the greater trochanter of the femur. Along with the superior and inferior gemellus and quadratus femoris muscles, it laterally rotates and abducts the thigh at the hip joint. The anterior thigh contains flexors of the hip and extensors of the knee, including the sartorius, iliacus, psoas major and minor, pectineus, and quadriceps femoris muscles.

    internal 

    obturator
    • The internal obturator muscle or obturator
    internus muscle originates on the medial
    surface of the obturator membrane, the
    ischium near the membrane, and the rim of
    the pubis. It exits the pelvic cavity through the
    lesser sciatic foramen.
    Obturator internus
     Origin : inner surface
    of obturator foramen,
    pubis, and ischium
     Insertion : medial
    surface of greater
    trochanter of femur
    Action : laterally
    rotates & abducts
    thigh at hip joint
     Nerve : nerve to
    obturator internus
    Obturator externus
    obturator externus muscle is a flat, triangular muscle, which
    covers the outer surface of the anterior wall of the pelvis.
    • origin: obturator
    foramen and
    obturator membrane
    • insertion: deep
    depression inferior to
    greater trochanter of
    femur
    • Action : Laterally
    rotates & abducts
    thigh at hip joint
    • Nerve : obturator
    nerve
    superior gemellus

    Origin : ischial spine


    Insertion : medial surface
    of greater trochanter of
    Femur
    Nerve supply : sacral
    plexus .
    Action : Laterally rotates
    & abducts thigh at hip
    joint
    Inferior gemellus
    • Inferior gemellus is a small, paired muscle located in
    the deep gluteal region of the lower extremity. It is
    part of a larger, tricipital (three-headed) muscle
    complex called triceps coxae (triceps of the hip)
    which also includes the superior
    gemellus and obturator internus muscles. As the
    gemelli muscles (superior, inferior) are the smaller
    of the three and less capable of independent
    actions, they are considered
    accessory reinforcements to obturator internus.
    Inferior gemellus
     Origin : ischial tuberosity
     Insertion : medial
    surface of greater
    trochanter of femur
     Action : Laterally rotates
    & abducts thigh at hip
    joint
     Nerve : nerve to
    quadratus femoris
    Quadratus femoris
     Origin : ischial
    tuberosity
     Insertion : elevation
    superior to mid-portion
    of intertrochanteric
    crest on posterior femur
     Action : laterally rotate
    & abducts hip joint
     Nerve : nerve to
    quadratus femoris
    Anterior Thigh Muscles
    • The large anterior compartment of the thigh contains the anterior
    thigh muscles, the flexors of the hip and extensors of the knee.
    • They including
    1. Sartorius
    2. Iliacus
    3. Psoas
    4. Pectineus
    5. Quadriceps femoris
    Sartorius muscle
    The sartorius muscle is the longest muscle in the human body. It is a
    long, thin, superficial muscle that runs down the length of the thigh
    in the anterior compartment.
     Origin : anterior superior iliac
    spine
     Insertion : medial surface of
    body of tibia.
     Action : flexes leg at knee joint
    ; flexes, abducts & laterally
    rotates thigh at hip joint.
     Innervation : femoral nerve
    The major psoas muscle

    Origin :transverse processes &


    bodies of lumbar vertebrae
    - insertion : with iliacus into lesser
    trochanter of femur
    - action : flexes thigh at hip joint,
    flex trunk on the hip as sitting up
    from the supine position
    - nerves : lumbar spinal nerves L2-
    L3
    The iliacus muscle
     Origin : Iliac fossa and sacrum
     Insertion : with psoas major into
    lesser trochanter of femur
     action : flexes thigh at hip joint,
    flex trunk on the hip as sitting up
    from the supine position
     Nerves : Femoral nerve
    psoas minor muscle
    The psoas minor muscle
    is only present in 60% of
    the population. It is
    located anterior to the
    psoas major.
    Attachments: Originates
    from the vertebral bodies
    of T12 and L1 and
    attaches to a ridge on the
    superior ramus of the
    pubic bone, known as the
    pectineal line.
    Actions: Flexion of the
    vertebral column.
    Innervation: Anterior
    rami of the L1 spinal
    nerve.
    Pectineus
    The pectineus is a flat quadrangular
    muscle located in the anterior part of the
    superomedial aspect of the thigh.
    • It often appears to be composed of two
    layers, superficial and deep, and these are
    generally
    • Origin: superior ramus of
    pubis
    • Insertion : pectineal line of
    femur, between lesser
    trochanter and linea aspera
    • Action : flexes and adducts
    thigh at hip joint
    • Nerve : (femoral and
    obturater nerve
