Tensor fasciae latae
Origin: Ilium - Anterior, superior iliac spine; anterior aspect of iliac crest
Insertion: Iliotibial tract
Blood:
Nerve: Superior gluteal nerve (L4-L5)
Action: Thigh - flexion, medial rotation. Trunk stabilization.

The Tensor fasciae latae (singular: "Tensor fasciae lata") are muscles of the thigh. It has origins in the anterior, superior iliac spine as well as the anterior aspect of the iliac crest, and inserts into the iliotibial tract. It plays a role in thigh flexion and medial rotation.

Fascia Biosystems - Preserved Particulate Fascia Lata for Soft Tissue Augmentation: A Review and Early Results of ... (2099 words)
[5] Solid fascia harvested from fascia lata and the Achilles tendon is commonly used in orthopedics for repair of the cruciate ligaments in the knee joint[6,7] and in urology for bladder suspension.
Prior to injection, preserved particulate fascia lata is hydrated with 1.5 to 3.0 cc of 0.5% or 1.0% lidocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine or with normal saline.
Bone-patellar ligament-bone and fascia lata allografts for reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament.
Surgery Exposure Hip (7751 words)
The interval between the anterior edge of the gluteus medius and the tensor fascia lata is identified; the gluteus medius and minimus are retracted laterally and posteriorly, while the tensor is retracted medially thereby exposing the fatty tissue overlying the joint capsule.
The tensor fascia lata is retracted anteriorly and the gluteus maximus posteriorly (Fig.
The femoral insertion of the gluteus maximus on the gluteal tuberosity is identified and the incision in the fascia lata is extended approximately one finger’s breadth anterior to that insertion.
