Psoas Minor

Muscular System

The psoas minor is a small, weak muscle with a short belly and long tendon lying in front of the psoas major; it is absent in about 40–50 percent of people.

Attachments and Innervation

  • Origin: the bodies of T12 and L1.
  • Insertion: the iliopectineal eminence and pectineal line of the pelvis; unlike the psoas major, it does not reach the femur.
  • Nerve: the anterior ramus of L1.
