Document Summary

The piriformis muscle, sciatic nerve, and pudendal nerve coming out through this opening. The lesser sciatic foramen is formed form the sacrotuberous ligament and involves the pudendal nerve. Injections into the gluteus maximus may go into a venous plexus. Injury to the sciatic nerve will cause paralysis and sensory problems below the knee. Explain the abductors of the hip: by using the superficial fascia that envelopes the thigh and thickening it into a tendon, it creates. There is no actual muscle on the side of the hip. the iliotibial tract of the superficial fascia. The upper parts of the gluteus maximus that insert onto the shaft of the femur and the lower fibers of the gluteus maximum insert into the edge of the iliotibial tract. There is a muscle at the front of the leg, the tensor fascia latta, attaching the anterior/superior iliac spine to the anterior edge of the iliobtibial tract.
