Inasmuch as the gluteus medius is more simple in arrangement than the maximus, and will aid us in arranging our ideas in connection with the latter, it is with the study of it that we will commence.
As for the gluteus minimus, it is deeply situated, and more or less sharply marked off from the second of the preceding muscles.
When it contracts, taking its fixed point at the pelvis, the gluteus medius extends the thigh, which it is also able to abduct.
Plates of the outer and inner tables still remained connected by their periosteum to the deep aspects of the iliacus and gluteus medius muscles.
Because of the relationship between the long axes of the femur and iliac shaft it is evident that the angle formed by these two bones is maintained chiefly by the gluteus muscles during weight bearing.
Fracture of the trochanter major is signalized by local swelling and evidence of pain; the forward stride is shortened because this movement tenses the tendon of the gluteus major (maximus) which is attached principally to the trochanter.
Contraction of muscular fibers of the gluteus medius causes extension of the femur and muscular strain is prevented to a great degree by the inelastic portion of this muscle.
The "914" preparations may be injected either into the subcutaneous tissue of the buttock or into the substance of the gluteus muscle.
There are two bursæ over the great trochanter, one superficial to, the other beneath the aponeurosis of the gluteus maximus; the latter is not infrequently infected by tuberculous disease that has spread from the trochanter.
Some are normally present--for instance, that between the skin and the patella, and that between the aponeurosis of the gluteus maximus and the great trochanter.
The ischial tuberosity, which in the extended position of the limb is overlapped by the lower margin of the gluteus maximus muscle, and is therefore not easily located with precision.
The head of the femur in its new position may sometimes be felt through the fibres of the gluteus maximus, but swelling of the soft parts often obscures this sign.
The band is usually derived from the fascia lata, sometimes reinforced by the anterior fibres of the gluteus maximus, sometimes by the tensor fasciæ femoris.
In a recent case, an extensive open dissection proved negative, but the stitching of the gluteus to the trochanter was followed by the disappearance of the snapping.
In attempting to extricate his swollen penis from the boy's rectum the dog tore through the sphincter ani an inch into the gluteus muscles.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "gluteus" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
