Obturator Internus Fascia

The fascia of the internal obturator muscle (f. musculi obturatoris interni) is a connective tissue sheath covering the internal obturator muscle.

The obturator internus muscle is located in the pelvic cavity and belongs to the muscles of the pelvic girdle. It originates from the inner surface of the pelvic bone and the obturator membrane, runs laterally and attaches to the greater trochanter of the femur.

The main function of this muscle is abduction and rotation of the hip.

The fascia of the obturator internus muscle is a connective tissue sheath that tightly envelops the muscle fibers. It performs a supporting and trophic function, and also separates the muscle from surrounding tissues.

Fascia has a shiny surface and consists of collagen and elastic fibers. It is quite strong, but at the same time elastic, which allows the muscle to contract.

Thus, the fascia of the obturator internus muscle plays an important role in ensuring the normal functioning of this muscle.



Fascia is the sheath that covers muscle tissue and tendons. Their task is to protect against external influences and ensure muscle function. In this article we will look at the fascia of the obturator internus muscle.

The fascia of the internal locked muscle is a sheet of skin that covers the inner thigh. It is part of the large muscular fascia of the pelvis, also known as the fascia of the femur. The fascia is located on the upper border of the inner surface of the femoral joint and is attached to the pelvis.

The functional significance of the intrinsic muscle fascia is to support the internal obturator muscle, support blood vessels and nerves, and strengthen the connection between the thigh muscles. The attachment of the obturator internus fascia to the pelvic area also allows for more efficient movement of the pelvis during stepping and maintaining the correct alignment of bones and joints.

However, the fascia has some limitations in its functional potential. Under stress in anaerobic athletes, it can be subject to wear and tear, which can lead to ineffectiveness and pain. This may be due to insufficient attention to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, poor diet and violation of the exercise regime.

Thus, it can be concluded that the obturator internus fascia plays an important role in maintaining the health and functionality of the hip joint by providing support to the muscles and ligaments. Disturbances and damage to the fascia can lead to movement problems and pain that require attention from athletes and people leading a healthy lifestyle.
