The cutaneous branches of the superior gluteal nerve with special reference to the nerve to tensor fascia lata.
Cutaneous branches from the superior gluteal nerve were studied in 39 half pelves (18 right, 21 left) of 23 adult Japanese cadavers. A detailed description of the branches is not currently available in the literature. Most of these branches perforated tensor fascia lata and were distributed to the centre of the lateral gluteal region.
