What are the attachments of the gluteus maximus?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The gluteus maximus attaches to the posterior iliac crest, the posterolateral sacrum, and the coccyx, and then inserts into the iliotibial band and the gluteal tuberosity of the femur. Option A is incorrect because the gluteus maximus attaches to the internal ilium, not external ilium. Option B is incorrect because the gluteus maximus does not attach to the lesser trochanter of the femur. Option C is partially correct but includes the bodies of L1-L3, which are not part of the attachments of the gluteus maximus.
