ms anatomy: gluteal region

this is the first unit of anatomy on the lower half of the body. we start off looking at the hip bones, which are the fusion of three bones, the ilium, ischium, and pubis. lying on top of the hip bones is the sacrum, which connects via a synovial joint to the hips at the auricular surfaces of the sacrum and the ilium and the iliac tuberosity. the sacroiliac joint capsule is directly stabilized by the iliolumbar and the ventral/dorsal sacroiliac ligaments. the sacrum is generally in a 45 degree angle pointing downwards can undergo "nutation", which is an anterior/posterior rotation on the sacrum's axis, which is the second vertebrae. this movement is limited and stabilized by several other ligaments: the interosseus ligaments attach from the iliac tuberosity to the sacrum, the sacrospinous ligaments which attach from the lower sacrum to the ischial spine, and the sacrotuberous ligaments which attach from the lower sacrum to the ischial tuberosity.

the muscles of the hip joint are then introduced. these muscles are grouped in terms of the actions that they have on the femur. the psoas, iliacus (which attach to the lesser trochanter), and tensor fascia lata are the muscles that flex the femur. the obturators, gemellis, and quadratus femoris are a group of small muscles in the posterior hip bone that all attach to the greater trochanter and laterally rotate the femur. the gluteus maximus starts on the iliac crest / sacrum / coccyx and attaches into the iliotibial band (which inserts onto the lateral condyle of the tibia) and is the only muscle that extends the femur, and also laterally rotates the femur. the gluteus minimus and medius originate on the back of the ilium and insert onto the greater trochanter and medially rotate the femur.

the nerves that branch off of the lumbar and sacral plexuses are looked at. the lumbar plexus are the nerves that branch off of lumbar vertebraes 1-4. the femoral nerve branches off of L2,3,4 and innervates the iliacus, sartorius, and quadriceps. the obturator nerve branches off of L2,3,4 as well and innervate the adductors. the muscular branch of the lumbar plexus innervates the psoas and the quadratus lumborum. the iliohypogastric and ilioinguinal nerves innervate the lower abdominal muscles and skin. the genitofemoral nerve innervates the cremaster muscle and thigh skin. the lateral cutaneous nerve to the thigh innervates the lateral thigh skin.

the sacral plexus is formed from nerves branching off of L4-S4. the largest nerve coming off of it is the sciatic nerve, which comes off of L4,5,S1,2,3 and splits into the tibular and common fibular nerve, and innervates the hamstrings, 1/2 of the adductor magnus, and some other leg/foot muscles. the superior gluteal nerve branches off from L4,5,S1, exits superior to the piriformis, and innervates the gluteus medius/minimus and tensor fascia lata. the inferior gluteal nerve branches off from L5,S1,2, exits inferior to the piriformis and innervates the gluteus maximus. the pudendal nerve originates S2,3,4 and innervates the anal and urethral sphincters and genitalia. the nerve to the quadratus femoris originates in L4,5,S1, while the nerve to the obturator originates in L5,S1,2.

the last section added a few details about the hip joint; it is stabilized by the transverse acetabular ligament and the acetabular labrum, which enlarge the articular surface of the joint. the ligamentum teres attaches from the head of the femur to the transverse acetabular ligament. the blood supply to the hip joint is supplied by the medial and lateral circumflex arteries as well as the artery to the ligamentum teres.
