The tensor fasciae latae (TFL) is a muscle located in the proximal anterolateral thigh, situated between the superficial and deep fibres of the iliotibial (IT) band. While there is considerable variability in muscle belly length, in the majority of patients, the TFL muscle belly concludes before reaching the greater trochanter of the femur.[1] The length of the TFL muscle is approximately 15 cm.[2][3]

The deep fascia of the thigh is called fascia lata (L. lata, broad). The fascia lata is substantial because it encloses the large thigh muscles, especially laterally, where it is thickened and strengthened by additional reinforcing longitudinal fibers to form the iliotibial tract. This broad band of fibers is the shared aponeurosis of the tensor fasciae latae and gluteus maximus muscles. The iliotibial tract extends from the iliac tubercle to the anterolateral tubercle of the tibia (Gerdy…
