	gemellus superior muscle (anatomy) - General Practice Notebook (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Gemellus superior (plural: gemelli) is one of the muscles of the gluteal region.
		It inserts into the posteromedial and middle surface of the greater trochanter of the femur via the tendon to obturator internus.
		Gemellus superior is innervated by the nerve to obturator internus (L5-S2).

		The fibers of this muscle pass lateral and downward and insert onto the sacrotuberous ligament and the gluteal tuberosity of the femur.
		Superior Gemellus Muscle- arises from the ischial spine and lies superior to the tendon of the obturator internus muscle.
		Inferior Gemellus Muscle- arises from the ischial tuberosity and lies inferior to the tendon of the obturator internus muscle.

	Piriformis muscle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The piriformis (from Latin piriformis = "pear shaped") is a muscle in the gluteal region of the lower limb.
		It exits the pelvis through the greater sciatic foramen to insert on the greater trochanter of the femur.
		Its tendon often joins with the tendons of the superior gemellus, inferior gemellus, and obturator internus muscles prior to insertion.

		The gluteal muscles consist of the large glutei (maximus, medius and minimus), which are mainly extensors and abductors of the thigh at the hip joint.
		The smaller muscles, which are lateral rotators of the joint, are situated more deeply; they include pirifomis, obturators internus and externus, the superior and inferior gemelli, and quadratus femoris (these actions are, however, modified by the initial position of the thigh) (1-6).
		The right accessory gluteal muscle arose from the lower fibers of the gluteus maximus muscle, medial to the sacrotuberous ligament as a single bundle, and extended caudally and laterally close to the point of insertion as two different bundles.

		The constant anastomosis between the inferior gluteal artery and MFCA, which runs along the distal border of the piriformis muscle and tendon, is preserved.15 Care has to be taken to avoid injury to the sciatic nerve, which passes inferior to the piriformis muscle into the pelvis.
		When the nerve is double branched, the piriformis muscle is sandwiched between the branches and its insertion into the greater trochanter should be released to avoid stretching the branches of the nerve during dislocation.

		These symptoms of the piriformis muscle dysfunction may be caused by other clinical entities that include gluteus medius dysfunction, herniated or bulging disks, "sciatica" and other musculoskeletal problems in this area.
		The anatomical position of the muscle leads one to conclude that it functions in some ways similar to that of the gluteus medius.
		Kegel exercises have been suggested by some to impact muscles that are adjacent to but functionally quite different than that of the piriformis.
