Gluteal furrow
The gluteal fold ( sulcus gluteus , sulcus gluteal, Ruga glutaea horizontalis), and gluteal fold , gluteal fold or Glutäalfurche, one on either side horizontally extending gutter below is buttocks ( Clunes ) and below the mutual protrusions of the gluteus maximus which the particular when tension Gluteus muscle becomes visible in the standing leg. It delimits the hip region ( regio glutaea ) caudally from the posterior thigh region ( regio femoralis posterior ). This gluteal fold is created by a strip of fascia starting from the fascia lata , which runs between the large overturning point ( greater trochanter ) of the thigh bone and the ischial tuberosity ( tuber ischiadicum ). This reinforcement of the fascia is also called "seat halter".
The gluteal fold is not identical to the lower edge of the gluteus maximus muscle, it runs obliquely and not horizontally.
The gluteal furrow must not with perpendicular thereto Analrinne be confused, especially since both regions even as a gluteal folds are called.
