Muscles that Move the Thigh01:20

Muscles that Move the Thigh

The thigh's motion is primarily governed by muscles originating in the pelvic girdle and inserted into the femur. One crucial muscle, the iliopsoas, is a combination of the psoas major and the iliacus muscles, sharing a common insertion point on the lesser trochanter of the femur.
Three other significant muscles are the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus. The gluteus maximus originates from the posterior surface of the ilium, sacrum, and coccyx, and the thoracolumbar fascia...

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Aesthetic Surgery

    Background:

    • The buttocks region has long been associated with aesthetic appeal.
    • Gluteoplasty using silicone implants has been available for over 30 years, yet detailed guidance on evaluation, reshaping, and implant selection/placement is limited.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the clinical anatomy of the buttocks.
    • To summarize the properties of silicone elastomer gluteal implants.
    • To present an approach for gluteal area evaluation and augmentation using solid silicone elastomer implants.

    Main Methods:

    • Gluteal augmentation was performed via a single intergluteal incision.
    • Implants were placed in the intramuscular position.
    • Lipoplasty and fat grafting were utilized for further contouring in most cases.

    Main Results:

    • Seventy-three gluteal augmentations were conducted between February 2002 and May 2003.
    • Patient satisfaction rates were high.
    • Wound dehiscence occurred in 30% of cases, while implant removal and infection rates were low at 2%.

    Conclusions:

    • Understanding implant characteristics is crucial for selecting the optimal implant based on individual gluteal anatomy.
    • Intramuscular implant placement enhances natural shape, minimizes migration, and importantly, reduces the need for implant removal.
