“…Piriformis, with other extensor rotator muscles, pull femur at different angles and act as a functional muscle. These muscles are regarded as cuff muscles of the hip and helps stabilize the head of femur at acetebulum [18,23,24,27]. These muscles have an importance as postural muscles rather than creating power by providing pelvis with control over stable femur [27].…”

“…Iliopsoas muscle provides balance between hip, pelvis, and lumbar vertebra by clinging to lesser trochanter in the anterior. With obturator muscles joining these muscles, they create a web and help thorax, lumbar vertebra, pelvis, sacrum connect to lower extremity [27]. While various functions of piriformis muscle are defined in literature, its main function that is assessed in anatomy textbooks is its role to make femur do external rotation.…”

Understanding the function of piriformis muscle plays an important role in the procedures of diagnosis and treatment in the piriformis syndrome which is observed as a result of the variations, hypertrophy, or strain of the muscle. Making the differential diagnosis with the anamnesis and physical examination is important in the oftenmisdiagnosed piriformis syndrome. At this point, the functional anatomy of the muscle gains importance. In our study, we tried by performing a literature search and examining anatomy textbooks to compile all the functions of this muscle whose function is defined in various ways. In this regard, we hope this study can be used clinically as a guide for identifying movements that can cause pathology, taking precautions against such scenarios and for muscle test, stretching and strengthening exercises for the muscle.
