299:. More specifically, the muscle's tendon inserts into an oblique ridge that runs downward and forward on the lateral surface of the greater trochanter. Before the insertion the fibers cross from anterior to posterior and vice versa.
353:
The posterior fibres of gluteus medius contract to produce hip extension, lateral rotation and abduction. During gait, the posterior fibres help to decelerate internal rotation of the femur at the end of swing phase.
349:
Most of the muscle inserts behind the centre of rotation of the hip. However, its function changes in different positions of the femur. For example: If the leg is flexed, the whole muscle will flex.

466:
The fibers of the gluteus medius cross from anterior to posterior and vice versa before its insertion at the greater
Trochanter. The iliotibial tract has been partially removed.
365:. Thus, its preservation and the accurate anatomical reconstruction of the femoral offset and anteversion is of quintessential importance for the result of surgical
