In human's, the two muscles that rotate the thigh are the gluteus medius and the gluteus minimus. The gluteus medius is located on the outer surface of the pelvis with the gluteus minimus underneath it.
gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus
The "glutes" including the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, and the tensor fasciae latae
If you are looking for the answer of what assists all of those movements at the same time, the answer would be the Gluteus Medius and Minimus muscles. Think of a squat, while you are squatting both your hip and knee are flexed (the gluteus medius and minimus are the stabilizers/assisters during a squat), and while the hip is flexed the gluteus medius can internally rotate the thigh.

There are three primary muscles that make up the muscular (not fat) tissue of your butt; the gluteus maximus, the gluteus, medius, and the gluteus minimus. As you might have guessed, the gluteus maximus muscle is the largest of the three.
The title G. medius implies that the muscle It is smaller than G. maximus, but bigger than G. minimus.
There are more than three muscles in that area, but the major ones composing the buttocks, or gluteal area are: gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus.
The gluteus medius is an agonist for the lateral rotator group The gluteus medius is responsible forward propulsion and balance.
