TENSOR FASCIA LATA ORIGINOuter surface of anterior iliac crest between tubercle of the iliac crest and anterior superior iliac spine INSERTIONIliotibial tract (anterior surface of lateral condyle of tibia) ACTIONMaintains knee extended (assists gluteus maximus) and abducts hip NERVESuperior gluteal nerve (L4, 5, S1)
The cruciate anastomosis is an anastomosis in the upper thigh of the inferior gluteal artery, the lateral and medial circumflex femoral arteries, and the first perforating artery of the profunda femoris artery. The first perforating artery is the artery that provides blood to the cruciate anastomosis. The cruciate anastomosis is clinically relevent because if there is a blockage between the femoral artery and external iliac artery, blood can reach the the popliteal artery by means of the anastomosis. The route of blood is through the internal iliac, to the inferior gluteal artery, to a perforating branch of the deep femoral artery, to the lateral circumflex femoral artery, then to its descending branch into the superior lateral genicular artery and thus into the popliteal artery.
