APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Hip internal rotation muscles These include: the tensor fasciae latae (outer hip) parts of the gluteus medius and the gluteus minimus (upper buttocks) the adductor longus, brevis, and magnus (inner thigh)

Detailed explanation-2: -Adductor Longus acts to adduct and flex the hip as well as externally rotate the hip. In turn, it limits hip extension, hip abduction, and hip internal rotation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Our hip internal rotators are sartorius, gluteus medius and minimus (when the hip is flexed) and adductor brevis. These muscles that perform internal and external hip rotation should not be forgotten and can be significant in helping you work through some hip/knee/back pain.

Detailed explanation-4: -The adductor magnus muscle has a dual role being a dynamic stabilizer of the pelvis and femur as well as a prime mover of the femur into adduction. The adductor magnus is similar to the deltoid muscle in that: One portion flexes the thigh and works as a medial rotator.
