What are the two major fascias that are associated with the gluteal region
1) Deep Fascia
2) Superficial Fascia
Describe the deep fascia that’s associated with the gluteal region
1) Continuous with deep fascia of thigh (fascia Lata)
2) Attached to iliac crest and lateral condyle of tibia
3) Continues as iliotibial tract on lateral surface of thigh
Describe the Superficial Fascia of Gluteal Region
1) Tied down to bottom of buttock
2) Forms gluteal (natal) fold
What is the Deep fascia of the gluteal region relationship with gluteus medius and Maximus muscle
1) Covers outer surface of gluteus medius and splits to enclose gluteus Maximus
What forms sheath for tensor fascia latae muscle?
Iliotibial tract
Purpose of the Greater sciatic foramen
Passageway for structure entering or leaving the pelvis
What is the purpose for the lesser sciatic foramen
Passageway for structures entering or leaving perineum
What are the structures that pass through the greater sciatic foramen
1) Piriformis Muscle
2) Sciatic Nerve
3) Superior/inferior gluteal vessels and nerves
4) Pudendal nerve
5) Internal pudendal artery/vein
6) Posterior femoral cutaneous nerve
7) Nerves to quadratus femoral and obturator inter us
What are the structures passing through lesser sciatic foramen
1) Tendon of obturator internus
2) Nerve to obturator internus
3) Pudendal nerve
4) Internal pudendal vessels
What are the attachments of the sacrotuberous ligaments
Posterior iliac spine
Lower sacrum
Coccyx to ischial tuberosity
Describe the attachments of the sacrospinous ligaments
Sacrum
Coccyx to ischial spine
Which ligament divides greater sciatic notch into greater sciatic foramen and lesser sciatic foramen
Sacrospinous
List the posterior gluteal compartment muscle(s)
Gluteus Maximus
List the Lateral gluteal compartment muscles
Gluteus medius
Gluteus Minimus
Tensor fascia latae
What is the collective function of the abductor gluteal muscles
Prevent pelvis and body from falling to the unsupported side when one foot is off the ground
What is the function of the 6 deep external rotators of the gluteal group
Rotate unsupported side of pelvis forward to increase stride
Describe the origin of the Gluteus Maximus
Posterior gluteal line of ilium
Surfaces of sacrum
Coccyx
Sacrotuberous ligament
Where does the gluteus Maximus insert
Gluteal tuberosity and iliotibial tract
What are the actions of gluteus maximus
1) Extends and externally rotates thigh
2) Extends pelvis by reverse action when lower limbs are flexed
3) Necessary for rising from seated position, climbing, running to jumping
* * Not required for normal walking
Describe the innervation and vascular supply of the gluteus Maximus
Inferior Gluteal Nerve (L5, S1-2)
Inferior Gluteal Artery (From internal iliac)
