ABSTRACT
The superior gemellus muscle (SGM) normally arises from the outer surface of the spine of the ischium, blends with the upper part of the tendon of the obturator internus, and is inserted with it into the medial surface of the greater trochanter. In this paper, we describe an anatomical variation in which the SGM is absent bilaterally. Therefore, as there are not many cases in literature, our attention has been drawn to the importance about absence of SGM, in order to improve anatomical and clinical knowledge about this finding.
RESUMEN
El músculo gemelo superior (SGM) que se origina de la superficie externa de la parte posterior del isquion, se une a la parte superior del tendón del músculo obturador interno, y se introduce con él en la superficie medial del trocánter mayor. En este trabajo se describe una variación anatómica en la que el SGM está ausente bilateralmente. Debido a la escaza descripción de esta variación, es relevante conocer la ausencia de la SGM, con el fin de mejorar el conocimiento anatómico y clínico de este hallazgo.
