The
iliacus and iliopsoas muscles are innervated chiefly by branches of femoral nerve namely nerves to
iliacus.
Caption: FIGURE 6: Muscle groups in the sagittal plane (IL:
iliacus, HA: hamstrings, RF: rectus femoris, GA: gastrocnemius, BF biceps femoris short head, VA: vastus, TA: tibialis anterior, SO: soleus, and GL: gluteus maximus).
A needle (white arrow) can be inserted close to the anterior superior iliac spine and advanced between the psoas major and
iliacus muscles.
The
iliacus lies in front of your pelvic bone and connects to the top of the femur (thigh bone).
Diagnostic ultrasound confirmed MO in the right
iliacus muscle due to a finding of calcification in the muscle measuring 2.7 cm (Figure 5).
We present a case of a 23-year-old male delayed diagnosis of pyomyositis of the
iliacus muscle and gluteal minimus muscle complicated with pulmonary septic embolism and septic shock who was treated with early goal directed cardiovascular resuscitation and surgical exploration combined with parenteral antibiotics.
Abdominal CT scan with intravenous contrast revealed an 8.1 x 10.2 x 14.4-cm enhancing mass in the right retroperitoneal space extending into the right psoas and
iliacus muscles, with an enlarged external iliac lymph node (Fig.
It lies between the
iliacus and psoas muscles, which form a tendon inserting into the lesser trochanter of the femur.
The hip flexors (
iliacus, psoas) and knee flexors (biceps femoris short head, sartorius) showed the greatest increases in activation over both the full gait cycle and double support phase (0.24, 0.23, 0.33, and 0.21 during double support, resp.).
The five muscles are Adductor Magnus, Gluteus Maximus, Gluteus Medius, Rectus Femoris and
Iliacus.
The telescopic end-block for hip joint flexion and extension (SG 150) was attached in parallel with the hip joint on a half way to
iliacus and gracilis.
