Common tendon of obturator internus and gemelli
Tendo communis musculi obturatoris interni et gemelli
Definition
The tendon of the obturator internus is notable for its relationship with the gemelli muscles (superior and inferior), which attach to it, forming a conjoined tendon (common tendon of obturator internus and gemelli) that inserts onto the greater trochanter. This anatomical configuration is often referred to as the "hip triceps tendon" that plays a significant role in the external rotation and stabilization of the hip joint.
