MPS is characterized by the presence of hyperirritable nodules, known as myofascial trigger points (MTPs), within muscles and fascia. MTPs limit the range of motion of the joints. Moreover, they induce a local contraction response triggered by mechanical stimulation. The stimulation of MTPs induces pain and sensory changes that can be localized or referred. The MTPs present in the gluteus medius muscle play a role in inducing patellofemoral pain, pain in the lower limbs, anterior region of the knee and thigh, and lower back; however, the anatomy of MTPs remains to be elucidated. This study is aimed at relating the entry points of the superior gluteal nerve into the gluteus medius muscle with the MTPs described in the literature via anatomical dissection.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Twenty gluteus medius muscles of 10 adult cadavers were divided into four areas: posterosuperior, posteroinferior, anterosuperior, and anteroinferior.
