Gluteus Medius Muscle
By: Tim Barclay, PhD
Medically reviewed by: Stephanie Curreli, MD, PhD
Last Updated: Jun 26, 2015
The gluteus medius muscle is partly covered by the gluteus maximus. Its fibers extend from the ilium to the femur, and they function to move the thigh out and rotate it medially. The gluteus minimus lies beneath the gluteus medius and is its companion in attachments and functions.
