Origins and Insertions
This powerful muscle has asuperficial and deep origin.
Superficial Fibres: Arise from the iliac crest, the posterior superior iliac spine, the thoracolumbar fascia, the cacrum and coccyx.
Deep Fibres: Arise from the Ala of the ilium behind the posterior gluteal line, from the sacrotuberal ligament and fascia of the sacrotuberous ligament and fascia of the gluteus medius (Aponeurosis glutealis).
Theproximal part of the muscle inserts into the iliotibial tract.
The distal part inserts into the gluteal tuberosity.
