The psoas lies posterolateral to the lumbar sympathetic ganglia, and the needle tip will often pass through the psoas major during a lumbar sympathetic block. The genitofemoral nerve is formed in the midsection of the psoas muscle by the union of branches from the anterior rami of L1 and L2 nerve roots. The nerve then courses inferiorly within ...
The psoas major unites with the iliacus at the level of the inguinal ligament. It crosses the hip joint to insert on the lesser trochanter of the femur. [1] The iliopsoas is classified as an "anterior hip muscle" or "inner hip muscle". [2] The psoas minor does contribute to the iliopsoas muscle.
In human anatomy, the lesser trochanter is a conical, posteromedial, bony projection from the shaft of the femur. It serves as the principal insertion site of the iliopsoas muscle . [ 1 ]
The psoas minor muscle (/ ˈ s oʊ. ə s / or / ˈ s oʊ. æ s /; from Ancient Greek: ψόᾱ, romanized: psóā, lit. 'muscles of the loins') is a long, slender skeletal muscle . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] When present, it is located anterior to the psoas major muscle .

The medial arcuate ligament is an arch in the fascia covering the upper part of the psoas major.It is attached to the side of the body of the first or second lumbar vertebra, laterally, it is fixed to the front of the transverse process of the first and, sometimes also, to that of the second lumbar vertebra.
In the thigh, the nerve lies in a groove between iliacus muscle and psoas major muscle, outside the femoral sheath, and lateral to the femoral artery. After a short course of about 4 cm in the thigh, the nerve is divided into anterior and posterior divisions, separated by lateral femoral circumflex artery .
The thickness of the fascia can give problems when any inflammation present in the leg has little room to expand into. Blood vessels and nerves can also be affected by the pressure caused by any swelling in the leg. If the pressure becomes great enough, blood flow to the muscle can be blocked, leading to a condition known as compartment ...
