Two 19-year-old Tulane University sophomores discovered a previously unknown muscle attachment deep in the human hip during a routine cadaver lab session โ€” a find so unusual that even their professor, a co-editor-in-chief of Gray's Anatomy, couldn't identify it.

Dominic Roy and Cooper Bruce had been assigned to measure the fusion point between two well-known hip muscles when Roy spotted something unfamiliar on the other side of the iliac fascia.

After an exhaustive search through medical literature and textbooks turned up nothing, the team confirmed it was a new anatomical discovery. The findings were recently published in the journal Clinical Anatomy.

The discovery is real and it's been reported widely, but the coverage gives different dates, so check the paper itself. The students are Dominic Roy and Cooper Bruce, and their professor is R. Shane Tubbs, who co-edits Gray's Anatomy. They were comparing where the iliacus meets the psoas major when they found an attachment that the literature and textbooks they searched didn't describe. Becker's Spine reports that the paper was outlined July 29 in Clinical Anatomy, and that a follow-up study of 200 more donated specimens found the attachment on 28% of sides. Tubbs described it as the first report of an iliac attachment of the psoas major in humans. Fox News says the find was made in a routine cadaver lab, and another outlet dates the dissection to 2024.

What's shown so far: the structure exists in some bodies, and its fibers attach to the front of the hip joint. What's only suggested: that it helps steady the psoas, and that the same attachment appears in gorillas, which would point to a possible evolutionary link. The function is not yet determined. Surgical and rehab uses are the researchers' own hopes, not tested results. A sample of 200 extra specimens is useful, but it comes from one lab, so the attachment still needs checking in other populations.

The Becker's Spine report has the sample numbers, and the Fox News story has the quotes.
