Tensor Fasciae Latae (TFL) Anatomy: Origin, Insertion & Action

⭐ Tensor Fasciae Latae (TFL) Anatomy ⭐
💪 Origin: Anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and the anterior aspect of the iliac crest.
💪 Insertion: Fascia of the iliotibial tract. The iliotibial tract inserts onto the iliotibial tubercle (also known as Gerdy’s tubercle).
💪 Action: Stabilisation of the hip and knee, hip abduction, hip internal rotation, weak hip flexion, knee flexion past 30 degrees and lateral rotation of the tibia.
💪 Nerve: Superior gluteal nerve (L4, L5, S1).
💪 Artery: Deep branch of the superior gluteal artery.
