What is the proper name for the creases in the gluteal region? What muscle?
Gluteal fold / gluteus maximus
What three sensory nerves innervate the gluteal region?
- Sacral plexus (L4 - S4): superior and inferior gluteal nerve, nerve to obturator internus
- Sciatic nerve (tibial > common fibular > superficial and deep fibular)
- Pudendal nerve
What are the two foramena found in gluteal region?
greater sciatic foramen / lesser sciatic foramen
What three structures make up the greater sciatic foramen?
greater sciatic notch, sacrotuberous ligament, sacrospinous (slight help_
What seven overall structures exit the pelvic cavity to the gluteal region?
Piriformis muscle, sciatic nerve, superior and inferior gluteal nerve art vein, pudendal nerve, internal pudendal nerve, nv to obturator internus, post femoral cutaneous nv
What three structures make up the lesser sciatic foramen?
lesser sciatic notch, sacrospinous ligament, (slight help from sacrotuberous)
What three structure enter the perineum?
pudendal nerve, internal pudendal artery and vein, obturator internus muscle
Gluteus maximus - innervation, action
inferior gluteal nerve, extension and lateral rotation of hip, "ballerina muscle"
Gluteus medius - innervation, action
superior gluteal nerve, abduct and medially rotate thigh, squares pelvis
Gluteus minimus - innervation, action
superior gluteal nerve, abduction and medial rotation of thigh, squares pelvis
What is gluteal medius limp?
List toward side of an injury while ambulation.
(Trendelenburg test)
What is clinically significant about intramuscular injections in the gluteal region?
They can cause injury if injected in the wrong place. Safe only in the superolateral quadrant. (Doing so avoids sciatic and gluteal nerves)
Piriformis - innervation and action
S1 / lateral rotation in extension and abduct in flexion
What are two causes of sciatica?
piriformis may put pressure on the sciatic nerve or a herniated disc can put pressure on sciatic nerve.
Obturatos internus - innervation / action
nerve to obturator internus, lateral rotation in extension and abduction in flexion
Quadratus femoris - innervation / action
nerve to quadratus femoris and lateral rotation
Superior Gemelli - innervation / action
nerve to obturator int / lateral rotation of hip
Inferior Gemelli - innervation / action
nerve to quadratus femoris / lateral rotation of hip
