Muscle Attachments: The piriformis muscle arises off the anterior (internal) surface of the sacrum and passes through the greater sciatic foramen to exit the pelvis laterally and attach to the greater trochanter of femur.
The piriformis muscle is one of the external rotators of the hip and leg. This means that as the muscle works, it helps to turn the foot and leg outward. Problems in the piriformis muscle can cause problems with the sciatic nerve. This is because the sciatic nerve runs under (and sometimes through) the piriformis muscle on its way out of the pelvis. The piriformis muscle can squeeze and irritate the sciatic nerve in this area, leading to the symptoms of sciatica.
