Clinically Relevant Anatomy[edit | edit source]
The iliotibial tract has its origin on the lateral border of the iliac crest. It is composed of dense fibrous connective tissue that appears from the M. tensor fasciae latae, the gluteal fascia and M. gluteus maximus. It descends vertically at the lateral aspect of the thigh, between the layers of the superficial fascia, and inserts on Gerdy’s tubercle and the lateral proximal aspect of the fibular head.(1)(5)Moreover the ilitibial tract becomes denser in its distal portion and gives an expansion to the lateral border of the patella. In this distal portion, the iliotibial tract covers the lateral femoral epicondyle, The iliotibial tract is stretched by M. gluteus maximus and M. tensor fasciae latae, both inserting on the proximal part of the tract.
