Insertion of the tensor fasciae latae
The lateral femoral fascia
What lies caudally to the superficial gluteal
Sacrotuberous ligament
Origin of the superficial gluteal
The lateral border of the sacrum and the first caudal vertebra, partly by the sacrotuberous ligament; the cranial dorsal iliac spine by the deep gluteal fascia
