The gluteofemoral bursa is located between the gluteus maximus muscle and the greater trochanter of the femur, which is the origin of the vastus lateralis muscle. The ischial bursa is located between the ischial tuberosity and the hamstring muscles, the iliopsoas bursa is located around the iliopsoas muscle, and the trochanteric bursa is located over the greater trochanter of the femur. None of these bursae are specifically situated between the gluteus maximus and the origin of the vastus lateralis.
