The periformis muscle, often referred to as the piriformis muscle, is located in the pelvis. It originates from the anterior surface of the sacrum and attaches to the greater trochanter of the femur. This muscle plays a key role in hip movement and stability, particularly in external rotation and abduction of the thigh. Its proximity to the sciatic nerve can sometimes lead to piriformis syndrome, where the muscle compresses the nerve, causing pain.
