Document Summary
Comprised of 3 gluteal muscles, 6 small lateral rotators of the thigh, nerves and vessels. Extends from the iliac crest to the gluteal fold. Form the posterior and lateral regions of the hip: muscles the of gluteal region: Gluteus maximus (extend and laterally rotate the thigh) The deep fascia forms over the gluteal region to keep it intact and runs down the lateral side of the thigh and leg. The fascia lata connects longitudinally into a band called iliotibial tract" which. The iliotibial tract and its two associated muscles (gluteus maximus and tensor runs from the tuberculum on the iliac crest to just below the knee. fascia lata) prevent lateral displacement of the head of femur: gluteal muscles: External surface of illium between anterior and posterior gluteal lines. External surface of the illium between the inferior and anterior gluteal lines. Prevents pelvic drop during walking: lateral rotators of the thigh: Abduction of the flexed thigh at the hip joint.
