| “ | It arises from the upper two-thirds of this fossa, and from the inner lip of the iliac crest; behind, from the anterior sacroiliac and the iliolumbar ligaments, and base of the sacrum; in front, it reaches as far as the anterior superior iliac spine and anterior inferior iliac spine, and the notch between them.
The fibers converge to be inserted into the lateral side of the tendon of the Psoas major, which contributes to flexing the femur anteriorly onto the pelvis. Some of the iliacus fibers may reach the body of the femur, for about 2.5 cm. below and in front of the lesser trochanter. The Iliacus is sometimes considered a part of the Iliopsoas group of hip flexor muscles. This muscle is innervated by the anterior branches of the Femoral nerve (anterior branches of L2-3). Working synergistically with the Psoas in gait (walking) and evaluation for low back pain, careful attention is placed on the slightly different spinal innervation from L4 with the psoas and a more horizontal action (leg further out). |

Rotation
This is not mentioned under actions, but based on the line of pull, it looks like this muscle would work to rotate the thigh as the psoas does. Is this something we could add or mention to the page? Dictabeard (talk) 23:07, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
