IMAGING ANATOMY

Gluteal Muscles

• Components: Gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, tensor fascia lata, piriformis, superior and inferior gemellus, obturator internus and externus, quadratus femoris
• Common functions: Hip abduction, external rotation
• Gluteus maximus
• Gluteus medius
• Gluteus minimus
• Tensor fascia lata
• Piriformis
• Superior gemellus
• Inferior gemellus
• Obturator internus
• Obturator externus
• Quadratus femoris

Rotator Cuff of Hip

• Gluteus medius and minimus tendons, trochanteric bursa, subgluteus medius and minimus bursae
- Iliotibial tract, which is conglomeration of facial coverings of gluteus maximus and tensor fascia lata, overlies gluteus medius tendon insertion into lateral facet

Bursa

• Greater trochanter
- Trochanteric (deep to gluteus maximus), subgluteus medius, and subgluteus minimus
• Ischiogluteal
- Between ischial tuberosity and gluteus maximus muscle
• Gluteofemoral
- Between iliotibial tract and vastus lateralis muscle
• Obturator internus
- Between muscle and ischium
• Obturator externus
- Beneath inferior border of muscle

Ischial Tuberosity
