Two Minutes of Anatomy: Hip Flexors

The primary hip flexor muscle is the iliopsoas muscle. It is a combination of the psoas major & iliacus muscles. The powerful psoas major muscle originates on the side of several vertebrae in the lower back & runs inferior to the femur. The iliacus muscle originates on the front of the pelvis. These two strong muscles combine & then attach to the lesser trochanter of the femur (Located on the proximal medial aspect of the femur.) The hip flexor muscles contract to raise the anterior thigh toward the chest. This motion is called hip flexion. Psoas Major: Origin: Transverse processes of T12-L5, anteromedial aspect of all the lumbar discs & adjoining vertebral bodies except the L5/S1 disc. Insertion: Lesser Trochanter of the Femur. Shares a common insertion with the Iliacus. Innervation: Lumbar Plexus via anterior branches of L1-L3. Actions: Hip flexion. Iliopsoas: The psoas major unites with the iliacus at the level of the inguinal ligament. Crosses the hip joint & inserts on the lesser trochanter of the femur.
