• Lesser sciatic foramen

• Obturator foramen

• Adductor hiatus

• Femoral canal

Intramuscular injection is given in the following quadrant of the gluteal region:

• Midline

• Upper lateral

• Upper medial

• Lower medial

• Lower lateral

Which of the following muscle is inserted to the quadratic tubercle on the intertrochanteric crest of the femur?

• Piriformis

• Superior gemellus

• Inferior gemellus

• Obturator internus

• Quadratus femoris

The following structures pass through the greater sciatic foramen below the piriformis except:

• Posterior cutaneous nerve of the thigh

• Inferior gluteal nerve

Tensor fasciae latae muscle is supplied by:

• Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve

• Inferior gluteal nerve

• Nerve to vastus lateralis

• Superior gluteal nerve

• Anterior division of femoral nerve

The inferior gluteal nerve supplies:

• Piriformis

• Gluteus maximus

• Gluteus medius

• Gluteus minimus

• Quadratus femoris

Which of the following structures does not pass through the greater sciatic foramen?

• Inferior gluteal nerve and vessels

• Posterior cutaneous nerve of the thigh

• Sciatic nerve

• Nerve to obturator externus

• Pudendal nerve and vessels

The gluteus maximus muscle:

• Rotates the hip medially

• Flexes the hip joint

• Supplied by the superior gluteal nerve

• Is inserted more into the iliotibial tract than the femur

• Abducts the hip joint

Greater sciatic notch is formed into a foramen by which of the following ligament?

• Interosseous sacroiliac

• Sacrospinous

• Dorsal sacroiliac

• Arcuate

• None of the above

All of the following muscles are short lateral rotators of the hip except:
