tensor fasciae latae muscle

The Tensor fasciae latae muscle attaches about 5cm away at the iliac tubercle.

The fourth and smallest of the muscles is the tensor fasciae latae muscle, which is located anterior and lateral to the rest.

It then accompanies the upper branch of the deep division of the superior gluteal artery and ends in the gluteus minimus and tensor fasciae latae muscle.

The superior gluteal nerve is a nerve that originates in the pelvis and supplies the gluteus medius, the gluteus minimus, and the tensor fasciae latae muscles.

The ascending branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery passes upward, beneath the tensor fasciae latae muscle, to the lateral aspect of the hip, and anastomoses with the terminal branches of the superior gluteal and deep circumflex iliac artery.
