Description:[1][edit | edit source]
Gemellus inferior is the second of the gemelli muscles. It lies inferior to gemellus superior and the Obturator internus tendon [2].
Origin:[edit | edit source]
Ischial tuberosity and lower part of lesser sciatic notch
Insertion:[edit | edit source]
Blends with tendon of obturator internus, and gets inserted into medial surface of greater trochanter of femur
Nerve supply:[edit | edit source]
Nerve to Quadratus Femoris (L4, L5, S1)[3]
Artery :[edit | edit source]
Supplied by medial circumflex femoral artery.
Function:[edit | edit source]
It works with gemellus superior to externally (laterally) rotate the hip and provide dynamic stability to the hip joint.
