Gluteus Maximus Muscle - Bursae

Bursae

Three bursae are usually found in relation with the deep surface of this muscle:

• One of these, of large size, and generally multilocular, separates it from the greater trochanter;
• a second, often wanting, is situated on the tuberosity of the ischium;
• a third is found between the tendon of the muscle and that of the vastus lateralis.
