Ligaments of the Gluteal RegionThe function of these ligaments is to stabilize the sacrum and prevent its
rotation at the sacroiliac joint by the weight of the vertebral column

GLUTEAL MUSCLES
• Muscles of gluteal region share a common compartment but are organized into 2 layers.
• The superficial layer :consists of three large overlapping glutei(Maximus,Medius,Minimus) which mainly abduct and extend the hip.
• An additional muscle in this group , is the tensor fascia latae.
• These muscles are mainly Extensor ,Abductor and Medial rotator of the thigh.
GLUTEUS MAXIMUS
• Is the largest muscle in the gluteal region and overlies most of the other gluteal muscles.
• Is quadrangular in shape
• ORIGIN: Fascia covering the gluteus medius, external surface of ilium behind posterior gluteal line, dorsal surface of sacrum and coccyx , sacrotuberous ligament.

TENSOR FASCIA LATA
• Is a fusiform muscle almost 15cm long is enclosed between 2 layers fascia lata.
• ORIGIN: Lateral aspect of crest of ilium between ASIS and tubercle of the crest.
• INSERTION: Iliotibial tract of fascia lata.
• INNERVATION: Sup gluteal nerve(L4,L5,S1)
• FUNCTION: Stabilizes the knee in extension.
DEEP LAYER MUSCLES
• The deep layer consists of smaller muscles (Piriformis, Obturator internus, Superior and Inferior Gemelli, and Quadratusfemoris ) covered by the inferior half of the gluteus maximus .
• They all have distal attachment on or adjacent to the intertrochantric crest of femur.
• They are lateral Rotator of the thigh and also stabilizes the hip joint.
PIRIFORMIS
• Is the most superior of the deep group muscles.
• ORIGIN: Ant surface of sacrum between ant sacral foramina.
• INSERTION: Medial side of sup border of greater trochanter of femur.
• INNERVATION: Branches from (L5,S1,S2)
• FUNCTION: Laterally rotates the extended femur at hip joint, and abducts flexed femur at this joint.
OBTURATOR INTERNUS
• It is a flat fan shaped muscle. Like the piriformis is a muscle of the pelvic wall and gluteal region.
• ORIGIN: Pelvic surface of the obturatormembrane and surronding bone.
• INSERTION: Medial side of greater trochanter of femur.
• INNERVATION: Nerve to obturatorinternus (L5, S1)
• FUNCTION: Laterally rotates the extended femur at hip joint and abducts flexed femur at hip joint.
GEMELLUS SUPERIOR
• A triangular shaped muscle associated with the upper and lower margin of the Obt Int tendon.
• ORIGIN: External surface of ischialspine.
• INSERTION: Along with the tendon of the obturator internus to the medial side of greater trochanter of femur.
• INNERVATION: Nerve to Obt Int (L5,S1)
• FUNCTION: Laterally rotates the extended femur at hip joint and abducts flexed femur at this joint.
GEMELLUS INFERIOR
• A triangular muscle associated with the upper and lower margins of the Obt Int tendon.
• ORIGIN: Upper aspect of ischialtuberosity.
• INSERTION: Along with the tendon of Obt Int to the medial side od greater trochanter of F
• INNERVATION: Nerve to quadratusfemoris (L5 , S1).
• FUNCTION: Laterally rotates the extended femur at hip joint , abducts flexed femur at hip joint.
QUADRATUS FEMORIS
• A flat rectangular muscle that is the most inferior muscle of the deep group, is below the Obt Int and it’s associated gemellusmuscles.
• ORIGIN: Lateral aspect of ischium just anterior to ischial tuberosity.
• INSERTION: Quadrate tubercle on the intertrochantric crest of the proximal femur.
• INNERVATION:Nerve to quadratus femoris(L5,S1)
• FUNCTION: Laterally rotates femur at hip joint.

Nerves of the Gluteal Region
Sciatic Nerve• Is a branch of the sacral plexus (L4 and 5;
S1, 2, and 3), emerges from the pelvis through the lower part of the greater sciatic foramen.
• It is the largest nerve in the body and consists of the tibial and common peroneal nerves bound together with fascia.
• The sciatic nerve usually gives no branches in the gluteal region.
26
Nerves of the Gluteal Region
Posterior Cutaneous Nerve of the ThighIs a branch of the sacral plexus, enters the gluteal region through the lower part of the greater sciatic foramen below the piriformis muscle.
Superior Gluteal NerveIs a branch of the sacral plexus, leaves the pelvis through the upper part of the greater sciatic foramen above the piriformis.
27
Inferior Gluteal NerveIs a branch of the sacral plexus, leaves the pelvis through the lower part of the greater sciatic foramen below the piriformis.
Nerve to the Quadratus FemorisA branch of the sacral plexus, leaves the pelvis through the lower part of the greater sciatic foramen. Ends by supplying the quadratusfemoris and the inferior gemellus.
Pudendal Nerve & the Nerve to the ObturatorInternusBranches of the sacral plexus, they leave the pelvis through the lower part of the greater sciatic foramen, below the piriformis

Arteries of the Gluteal Region
• The major arteries that supply the gluteal region are the superior gluteal artery and the inferior gluteal artery which are branches from the internal iliac artery.
