The gluteus minimus is the deepest and smallest of the superficial gluteal muscles. It is similar is shape and function to the gluteus medius. 1  Attachments: Originates from the ilium and converges to form a tendon, inserting to the anterior side of the greater trochanter.
Gluteus medius arises from this part of the ilium. Itâs inserted here, on the outer aspect of the greater trochanter. Though gluteus medius is mainly an abductor as weâll see, its anterior part also produces medial rotation at the hip. The last of the abductors is called the tensor fascia lata. Before we look at it, we need to digress for a minute, and get acquainted with the structure that gives it its name, the fascia lata.
