The normal gluteus medius muscle and fascia in an adult cadaveric specimen. A) Lateral view showing the longitudinal fascia reinforcements over the gluteus medius muscle (Gmed). The iliotibial band (itb) inserts on the gluteal tubercle (gt) of the iliac crest and covers the greater trochanter (troch). TFL = tensor fascia latae muscle. The gluteus maximus muscle is resected. B) Transversal cut of the Gmed insertion. Gmax = gluteus maximus. C) Longitudinal cut of the Gmed insertion at the level of a fascia reinforcement. D) Longitudinal cut of the Gmed insertion between fascia reinforcements.
