piriformis - insertion
medial side of superior border of greater trochanter
piriformis - innervation
Branches from S1 and S2
Piriformis - function
laterally rotates the extended femur at the hip, abducts flexed femur at the hip

along superior length of obturator internus tendon and mediaal side of the greater trochanter
gemellus superior - innervation
nerve to obturator internus (L5, S1)
gemellus superior - function
laterally rotates the extended femur at the hip, abducts flexed femur at the hip
gemellus inferior - origin
upper aspect of ischial tuberosity
gemellus inferior - insertion
along inferior length of obturator internus tendon and mediaal side of the greater trochanter
gemellus inferior - innervation
nerve to quadratus femoris (L5, S1)
gemellus inferior - function
laterally rotates the extended femur at the hip, abducts flexed femur at the hip

lateral aspect of ischium anterior to ischial tuberosity
quadratus femoris - insertion
quadrate tubercle on the intertrochanteric crestof the proximal femur

linear facet on the anterolateral aspect of the greater trochanter
gluteus minimus - innervation
superior gluteal nerve (L4, L5, S1)
gluteus minimus - function
abducts femur at hip joint, holds pelvis secure when walking preventing pelvic drop, medially rotates thigh
