Dysfunction of the superior cluneal nerves is often due to entrapment as the nerves cross the iliac crest – this can result in numbness, tingling or pain in the low back and upper buttocks region. Superior cluneal nerve dysfunction is a clinical diagnosis that can be supported by diagnostic nerve blocks. [1]
The iliacus originates in the iliac fossa of the pelvis. [2] 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 ...
In open-chain exercises, as part of the iliopsoas, the iliacus is important for lifting (flexing) the femur forward (e.g. front scale).In closed-chain exercises, the iliopsoas bends the trunk forward and can lift the trunk from a lying posture (e.g. sit-ups, back scale) because the psoas major crosses several vertebral joints and the sacroiliac joint.
Iliocostal friction syndrome, also known as costoiliac impingement syndrome, is a condition in which the costal margin comes in contact with the iliac crest.The condition presents as low back pain which may radiate to other surrounding areas as a result of irritated nerve, tendon, and muscle structures.
The psoas sign, also known as Cope's sign (or Cope's psoas test [1]) or Obraztsova's sign, [2] is a medical sign that indicates irritation to the iliopsoas group of hip flexors in the abdomen, and consequently indicates that the inflamed appendix is retrocaecal in orientation (as the iliopsoas muscle is retroperitoneal).
The severity of symptoms of damage to the iliohypogastric nerve can show whether damage occurred above or below the anterior superior iliac spine. [6] Bone may be harvested from the nearby iliac crest for use elsewhere in the body. [5] As the subcostal nerve lies close to the anterior superior iliac spine, this is put at risk of damage. [5]

The iliac fossa is bounded above by the iliac crest, and below by the arcuate line. It is bordered in front and behind by the anterior and posterior borders of the ilium. The iliac fossa gives origin to the iliacus muscle. [1] The obturator nerve passes around the iliac fossa. [2] It is perforated at its inner part by a nutrient canal.
