The hip abductor muscles have the capability to contribute to numerous actions, including
pelvic stabilization during gait, and abduction and rotation at the hip joint. To fully …

The anatomy of the hip abductors has not been comprehensively examined, yet is important
to understanding function and pathology in the gluteal region. For example, pathology of the …

The hip abductor muscles are considered important for gait and biomechanics of the hip
joint; however, their specific function has not been defined precisely. The intensity of …

The gluteal region was dissected in 18 adult cadavers. The attachments, directions, and
orientations of the fibres of the tensor fasciae latae, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus …

In order to investigate the functional anatomy of gluteus minimus we dissected 16 hips in
fresh cadavers. The muscle originates from the external aspect of the ilium, between the …

Although the hip joint is regarded as inherently stable, hip pain and injuries caused by
traumatic/non-traumatic hip instability are relatively common in active individuals. A …

Background Muscle architecture, or the arrangement of sarcomeres and fibers within
muscles, defines functional capacity. There are limited data that provide an understanding of …

Objective To evaluate the association between hypertrophy of the tensor fasciae latae
muscle and abductor tendon tears. Materials and methods Thirty-five patients who …

The aim of this study was to obtain, using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), muscle
volume measurements for the gluteus maximus (upper: UGM and lower: LGM portions) and …

Background: Gluteus medius tears are a common hip disorder. Despite this, the etiology of
these tears and the anatomical background of the gluteus medius tendon remain unclear …
