Tensor fascia latae: ▪ Is the only muscle that lies outside the gluteal region (may appear or may not appear in the gluteal region). ▪ It appears BETTER in the anterior compartment of thigh. ▪ It lies very close to the origin of sartorius. 2. Gluteus maximus: (the largest and most superficial muscle) ▪ All contents of gluteal region are covered by gluteus maximus EXCEPT upper lateral part which is superficial. ▪ To demonstrate the contents of the gluteal region, it must be cut and reflected. 3. Gluteus medius: It is partially covered by gluteus maximus EXCEPT its upper lateral part which is superficial. 4. Gluteus minimus ▪ It is completely covered by gluteus medius. ▪ To demonstrate gluteus minimus, gluteus medius mut be cut and reflected. 5. Piriformis muscle (key muscle for the deep layer of gluteal region): Triangular muscle. ▪ Originates inside the pelvis. ▪ Leaves the pelvis and enters the gluteal region through greater sciatic foramen. ▪ All the structures pass through greater sciatic foramen are classified either superior and inferior to it. 6. Obturator Internus muscle: ▪ Originates inside the pelvis. ▪ Leaves the pelvis and enters the gluteal region through the lesser sciatic foramen. ▪ The superior and inferior gemelli are inserted in its tendon. 7. Quadratus femoris muscle: Quadrilateral in shape. ▪ Its lower border is the inferior boundary of the gluteal region (after which you will enter the hamstring).
