Gluteal Region

by Asyiqin Amran

1.      Gluteus maximus
            is supply by superior gluteal nerve                                                                             
            form  iliotibial tract together with tensor fascia lata                                                   
            is an anti-gravity muscle                                                               
            separate the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus                              
            is inserted into iliotibial tract and gluteal tuberosity                       

2. Structures under gluteus maximus are
            Gluteus minimus and gluteus medius                      
            Sciatic nerve                                                                      
            Iliotibial tract                                                                                                
            Sacrotuberous ligament                                                                 
            Inferior and superior gluteal nerve                                                            

3. Powerful abductors of hip
            are supply by superior gluteal nerve                                                               
            referring to gluteus maximus and gluteus medius                                                  
            are inserted into greater trochanter                                                                     
            are significance for sitting position                                                                    
            are not significance for trendelenburgs sign                                                       

4. Sciatic nerve
            is the thickest nerve in the body                                                                              
            root value L5, S1, S2, S3                                                                                        
            enters gluteal region through lesser sciatic foramen                                               
            branch into common peroneal nerve and tibial nerve                                          
            end at the base of popliteal fossa                                                                           

5. Arteries of gluteal region,
            are branches from external iliac artery                                                                    
            comes out into gluteal region via greater sciatic foramen                                       
            superior gluteal artery form trochanteric anastomosis to supply head of femur  
            inferior gluteal artery gives branch to sciatic nerve                                          
            inferior gluteal artery supply gluteus medius and minimus
