Gluteus Minimus
Abstract
Detached slips may connect the muscle with the tensor fasciae latae, superior gemellus, upper part of the origin of the vastus lateralis, or the capsule of the hip joint. This last form may appear as an accessory muscle under cover of the main mass. The anterior and posterior parts may be separate, or the anterior fibers may detach from the rest and form an independent muscle, the gluteus quartus. Gluteus quartus may be homologus to invertor femoris of apes. Syn.: m. gluteus minor s. tertius, Kleiner Gefässmuskel, petit fessier.
