Abstract:
The variations of the gluteus maximus muscle are not frequently mentioned in anatomy textbooks. These variations may be of clinical importance when surgery of this region is considered.
We report the observation of a 44-year-old patient admitted for total hip prothesis, we report the observation of a patient admitted for a total hip prosthesis in whom during the surgical approach we found a bipinnate gluteus maximus. the literature reports isolated cases in cadavers as well as the presence of the variation in the fetus but which disappeared with growth.
