Gluteal region Flashcards
Pink: Iliac crest
Green: Natal cleft (birth happens through this canal)
Blue: Gluteal fold
Cutaneous Sensory Nerves of the Right Gluteal Region
Blue: Iliohypogastric n (L1)
Small yellow: Subcoastal n (T1,2)
Yellow: Superior cluneal n (L1,2,3)
Pink: Middle cluneal n (S1,2,3)
Green: Inferior cluneal n (posterior femural cutaneous n)
Superficial fasica of Gluteal region
Thick (esp women) and has a large amount of fat. Passage for superficial nerves and veins. The intramuscular injection can be done safely.
Deep fascia of Gluteal region
Splits to enclose the gluteus maximus then continues as a single layer on the outer surface of the gluteus medius and attach to iliac crest.
Where does the Iliotibial tract begin
Iliac crest
Fascia lata
right arrow: Iliotibial tract
Yellow: Tensor fascia lata
Green: Iliotibial tract
Muscle and function
Yellow: Tensor fascia lata (medial rotation)
Green: Gluteus maximus (Lateral rotation)
Are anatagonists
Tensor fascia lata location
Enclosed between 2 layers of fascia lata
Tensor fascia lata origin
Ant part of outer lip of iliac crest, ASIS (anterior superior iliac spine)
What other muscle has an origin at ASIS(anterior superior iliac spine)
Sartorius muscle
Tensor fascia lata insertion
Iliotibial tract
Tensor fascia lata nerve
Superior gluteal n
Tensor fascia lata function
Abd, flex & med rotation of thigh.
Acting through iliotibial tract, extends leg
Boney fragments are protected by what?
Bursa
Right up: Trochanteric bursa
Right down: Gluteofemoral bursa
Left: Ischial bursa
Trochanteric bursa location
Between greater trochanter and gluteus maximus
Gluteofemoral bursa location
Between Iliotibial tract band and vastus lateralis
Ischial bursa location

Inflamed bursa and symptoms
Bursitis
Symp: localized pain and repetitive hip extension

Injection location
Green: Gluteus medius
Yellow: Gluteus maximus
Blue: Attachment of gluteus maximus to iliotibial tract
Uncolored: Iliotibial tract
Gluteus maximus origin
Lateral surface of ilium behind posterior gluteal line; dorsal sacroiliac and sacrotuberous ligament; dorsal surface of sacrum
Gluteus maximus insertion
Iliotibial tract; gluteal tuberosity of femur
Gluteus maximus function
Extension(main), Abduction (upper fiber) and Adduction (lower fibers) of thigh
Gluteus maximus nerve
Inferior gluteal nerve
How can the Sciatic nerve be compressed
At lower border of gluteus maximus by sitting on bench with a sharp edge (sleeping foot)
How can the Sciatic nerve be injured
Misplaced deep intramuscular injections
Where is the intramuscular injection given and why?
Superolateral quadrant to prevent damage to sciatic nerve

Lateral surface of ilium between anterior and posterior gluteus line
Gluteus medius insertion
Greater trochanter of femur
Gluteus medius function
Abduction and medial rotation of thigh
Gluteus medius nerve
Superior gluteal nerve (L5 and S1)
Gluteus minimus origin
Lateral surface of ilium between anterior and inferior gluteus line
