The gluteal tuberosity is the lateral prolongation of three prolongations of the linea aspera that extending superior-ward from the superior extremity of the linea aspera [1] on the posterior surface of the femur. [2] The gluteal tuberosity takes the form of either an elongated depression [3] or a rough ridge.
Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS), a form of bursitis, is inflammation of the trochanteric bursa, a part of the hip. This bursa is at the top, outer side of the femur, between the insertion of the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus muscles into the greater trochanter of the femur and the femoral shaft. It has the function, in common ...
As deep gluteal syndrome is defined as entrapment of the sciatic nerve, patients will have pain along the distribution of the nerve, also known as sciatica. [6] These general sciatica symptoms include unilateral, though sometimes bilateral, radiating pain or dysthesias in the affected legs.
The gluteal muscles include the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, and tensor fasciae latae.They cover the lateral surface of the ilium.The gluteus maximus, which forms most of the muscle of the buttocks, originates primarily on the ilium and sacrum and inserts on the gluteal tuberosity of the femur as well as the iliotibial tract, a tract of strong fibrous tissue that runs ...
[20] [66] [64] [67] [32] When VAS scores (pain scores) are measured, patients typically have severe pain (>7.5) before surgery and at most mild pain (< 3.5) after surgery. [ 68 ] [ 66 ] [ 64 ] [ 67 ] A systematic review of deep gluteal syndrome (of which piriformis syndrome is a major cause) found consistently positive results for surgeries in ...
Above, the linea aspera is prolonged by three ridges. The lateral ridge is very rough, and runs almost vertically upward to the base of the greater trochanter.It is termed the gluteal tuberosity, and gives attachment to part of the gluteus maximus: its upper part is often elongated into a roughened crest, on which a more or less well-marked, rounded tubercle, the third trochanter, is ...
The gluteus maximus arises from the posterior gluteal line of the inner upper ilium, and the rough portion of bone including the crest, immediately above and behind it; from the posterior surface of the lower part of the sacrum and the side of the coccyx; from the aponeurosis of the erector spinae (lumbodorsal fascia), the sacrotuberous ligament, and the fascia covering the gluteus medius.
The lowest fibres of gluteus maximus are attached to the posterior surface of the ligament; superficial fibres of the lower part of the ligament continue into the tendon of biceps femoris. The ligament is pierced by the coccygeal branches of the inferior gluteal artery, the perforating cutaneous nerve and filaments of the coccygeal plexus. [2]
