GLUTEUS MEDIUS (MUSCLE)

The gluteus medius, one of the three gluteal muscles, is a broad, thick, radiating muscle.

It is situated on the outer surface of the pelvis.

Its posterior third is covered by the gluteus maximus, its anterior two-thirds by the gluteal aponeurosis, which separates it from the superficial fascia and integument.
