The gluteus medius is one of the three gluteal muscles, it is a broad, thick, radiating muscle, situated on the outer surface of the pelvis. When the leg is straightened, the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus function together to pull the thigh away from midline, or "abduct" the thigh. And with the hip flexed the gluteus medius and minimus externally rotate the thigh.
