Excerpt: ... J XI. OF THE MUSCLES OF THE LOWER EXTHEMITY. The right extremity may now be separated from the upper part of the trunk at the interval between the third and fourth lumbar vertebrae. Let the detached limb be laid upon its fore part, with a block under the upper part of the thigh, in order that the hip-joint may be bent. It is convenient to begin with the dissection of the muscles of the hip, of which the first in order, as the outermost or uppermost, are the glutasi. Three large muscles of this name, which are employed in extending the hip-joint, form three layers of flesh interposed between the integuments of the hip and the jlium; each glutaeus rises from the ilium, and is inserted into the back or outer part of the femur. Make an incision through the integuments from the tuberosity of the ilium to the great trochanter of the os femoris; this incision will nearly correspond with the direction of the coarse fasciculi of the outer muscle. 1. Origin of the Gluteus Maximus. From the outside of the tuberosity of the ilium, from the side of the sacrum and os coccygis, and from the outer surface of the posterior sacro-sciatic ligament; the fibres pass obliquely downward and outward. Insertion. By a flat tendon, which passes over the great trochanter, a bursa mucosa being interposed, into the upper half nearly of the linea aspera; an aponeurosis extends from the anterior margin of the muscle to the crest of the ilium, and the tendon is continuous at either margin with the fascia lata. Use. Extension of the hip-joint, and abduction and rotation outwards of the thigh. Divide the gluteus maximus transversely, and dissect it together with its aponeurosis from the next muscle, to some of the fibres of which the latter part gives attachment. 2. Origin of the Gluteus M...
