The greater sciatic notch is a notch in the ilium, one of the bones that make up the human pelvis. It lies between the posterior inferior iliac spine (above), and the ischial spine (below). The sacrospinous ligament changes this notch into an opening, the greater sciatic foramen .
The sciatic nerve supplies sensation to the skin of the foot, as well as the entire lower leg (except for its inner side). Sensation to skin to the sole of the foot is provided by the tibial nerve, and the lower leg and upper surface of the foot via the common fibular nerve. [2]: 422–4 The sciatic nerve also innervates muscles.

What is the sciatic nerve? The sciatic nerve is about 2 centimeters in diameter and consists of the L4 to S2 nerve roots, which join at the pelvis and run down the back of the thigh, says Chellsen.
Beneath this eminence is a notch from which the sartorius takes origin and across which the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve passes. Below the notch is the anterior inferior iliac spine, which ends in the upper lip of the acetabulum; it gives attachment to the straight tendon of the rectus femoris and to the iliofemoral ligament of the hip-joint.
The gluteus minimus is a fan-shaped convergent muscle, arising from the outer surface of the ilium, between the anterior and inferior gluteal lines, and behind, from the margin of the greater sciatic notch. The gluteus medius muscle originates on the outer surface of the ilium between the iliac crest and the posterior gluteal line above, and ...
Sciatic nerve pain can cause mild, daily aching or severe pain. These sciatica stretches, like prone press-ups and nerve glides, help reduce and prevent pain. 7 sciatica stretches that ease pain ...
Piriformis syndrome occurs when the piriformis irritates the sciatic nerve, which comes into the gluteal region beneath the muscle, causing pain in the buttocks and referred pain along the sciatic nerve. [8] This referred pain is known as sciatica. Seventeen percent of the population has their sciatic nerve coursing through the piriformis muscle.
