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.
However, surgical observation and cadaver studies reveal that variations in the relationship between the two occur in as much as 22% of the population (see figure 1)(1). Piriformis syndrome is an irritation of the sciatic nerve caused by an inflammation of the piriformis muscle.Athletes may complain of a deep aching pain in the buttock or a radiating sharp nerve pain that extends along the middle of the rear thigh. Occasionally, numbness and tingling can continue to the calf and toes.hile athletes are usually symptomatic in only one leg, the pain-free leg should be treated as well. In the New York study, investigators determined the most common causes of piriformis syndrome are overuse (43% of 876 patients) and trauma (18% of 892 patients).
