Xie-Xie Dr. Xiaoming Zhang, Professor Dr. Ji-cheng Li, and Professor Dr. Lizhong Du
Gluteal Region • Teaching Objectives • Discuss the functional and clinical importance of the gluteal region • Illustrate the muscles, nerve supply, and vasculature of the gluteal region, in the context of their clinical importance
Gluteal Region • Functional and clinical importance of the gluteal region? • Locomotion • Site for intramuscular injection • Site for nerve injury • Gateway for neurovascular structures to the perineum
Overview of the Gluteal Region • Location • Posterior region of the os coxae (pelvic bone or hip bone)
Overview of the Gluteal Region • Contents • Gluteal muscles (three) • Nerves for the gluteal muscles • Nerves for the lower limb, including the sciatic nerve (largest nerve in the body), and the perineum • Vessels to the gluteal muscles and perineum
Gluteus maximus Muscles of the Gluteal Region Gluteus medius • Gluteus maximus • Gluteus medius • Gluteus minimus • Piriformis • Superior gemellus • Obturator internus • Inferior gemellus • Quadratus femoris
Muscles of the Gluteal Region • Deep muscles • Gluteus minimus • Piriformis • Superior gemellus • Obturator internus • Inferior gemellus • Quadratus femoris
Muscles of the Gluteal Region 1. Gluteus maximus (cut) 2. Gluteus medius (cut) 3. Gluteus minimus
Muscles of the Gluteal Region • Deep muscles • 4. Piriformis • 5. Superior gemellus • 6. Obturator internus • 7. Inferior gemellus • 8. Quadratus femoris
Gluteal Region • Functional and clinical importance of the gluteal region • Locomotion • Site for intramuscular injection
Gluteal Region- Locomotion - • Gluteus medius and minimus are key muscles • Hold the pelvis secure over the stance leg • Prevent pelvic drop on the opposite swing-side during walking
Gluteal Region- Site of Intramuscular Injection - Safe area for injections
Gluteal Region- Site of Intramuscular Injection - Tubercle of the iliac crest Safe area (Gluteus medius) Anterior superior iliac spine Location of the sciatic nerve
Located deep to the gluteus maximus and piriformis* muscles * >87% of cadavers Gluteal Region • Sciatic nerve • Largest nerve in the body • Spinal segments L4-S3
Gluteal Region • Functional and clinical importance of the gluteal region • Locomotion • Site for intramuscular injection • Site for nerve injury
Gluteal Region- Injury - • Injury to the superior gluteal nerve • Gluteus medius limp and gluteal gate
Gluteal Vessels • Superior gluteal a and v • Inferior gluteal a and v
Internal pudendal a Gluteal Vessels • Internal pudendal a and v
Perineum- Today’s Word & Intellectual Challenge - • The region that closes the pelvic outlet • Means “modest or private” • Divided into two spaces (triangles) • Ischioanal (Anal) triangle • Urogenital (UG) triangle • Relevant to the gluteal region • Thoroughfare for the internal pudendal a and v, and pudendal n
Perineum Abdominopelvic Region
Sacrotuberous ligament Perineum – 2 Triangles
Int. pudendal a. Pudendal n. Scrotum Ext. anal sphincter m. Ischial tuberosity Levator ani m. Sacrotuberous lig. Coccyx Gluteus max m.
