Muscles that Move the Thigh

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...

Summary

Gluteal augmentation techniques vary in complication rates and patient satisfaction. While implants offer high satisfaction, they have more complications; fat grafting has fewer complications but risks serious ones like fat embolism.

Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Aesthetic Surgery
Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

Gluteal augmentation techniques have evolved, with numerous studies on specific methods.
No comprehensive review has previously assessed overall complication and satisfaction rates across diverse gluteoplasty techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

To conduct a comprehensive literature review of gluteoplasty techniques.
To determine outcomes, complication rates, and patient satisfaction associated with various gluteal augmentation methods.

Main Methods:

A systematic literature search was performed on PubMed/Medline for clinical studies on gluteal augmentation.
Fifty-two studies (1969-2015) involving 7834 patients were included based on a priori criteria.

Main Results:

Five techniques were analyzed: implants (n=4781), fat grafting (n=2609), local flaps (n=369), hyaluronic acid (n=69), and tissue rearrangement (n=6).
Complication rates: implants (30.5%), fat grafting (10.5%), local flaps (22%).
Patient satisfaction was consistently high across all five techniques.

Conclusions:

Implant gluteoplasty yields high satisfaction but has a high complication rate.
Autologous fat grafting has the lowest complication rate but carries risks of serious complications like fat embolism.
Local flaps/tissue rearrangement are suitable for massive weight loss patients; hyaluronic acid data is limited but suggests temporary, expensive results.
