Posterior hip muscles

There is surprisingly little consensus on the anatomy of the lateral hip rotators[1]

Muscle Origin Insertion Innervation
Piriformis Anterior surface of sacrum between and laterally to the anterior sacral foramina Superior boundary of greater trochanter Nerve to the piriformis (S1-S2)
Gemellus Superior Ischial spine Upper edge of Obturator internus muscle tendon (indirectly greater trochanter) Nerve to obturator internus (L5-S2)
Internal Obturator Medial surface of obturator membrane and the surrounding bone Medial surface of greater trochanter Nerve to obturator internus (L5-S2)
Gemellus Inferior Just above the tuberosity of the ischium Lower edge of Obturator internus muscle tendon (indirectly greater trochanter) Nerve to quadratus femoris (L4-S1)
Quadratus Femoris Lateral edge of the tuberosity of the ischium Intertrochanteric crest Nerve to quadratus femoris (L4-S1)
External Obturator Lateral surface of obturator membrane and the ischiopubic ramus Trochanteric fossa Posterior branch of obturator nerve (L3-L4)
