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...

Summary

Surgical intervention for gluteal artery injuries, primarily from stab wounds, can achieve good outcomes. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial for reducing mortality and morbidity in these traumatic injuries.

Area of Science:

  • Trauma Surgery
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

  • Gluteal artery injuries are uncommon but can result in significant bleeding.
  • Stab wounds are the predominant cause of these injuries, particularly in young males.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the surgical management and outcomes of gluteal artery injuries.
  • To identify key factors influencing morbidity and mortality in patients with gluteal trauma.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 27 patients surgically treated for gluteal injuries over 17 years.
  • Analysis of injury mechanisms, affected arteries, surgical techniques, and patient outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Most patients were young males with stab wounds to the buttock, frequently involving the superior gluteal artery.
  • Arterial ligation was the primary surgical approach, with one case of coil embolization.
  • An 11% mortality rate was observed, including pre-hospital and intraoperative deaths.

Conclusions:

  • Prompt surgical or endovascular treatment is essential for managing gluteal artery injuries.
  • Careful physical examination and timely intervention can minimize complications and improve survival rates.
