Action, — to extendthe thigh, and pull it baekwardsand a little outwards. The fascia at the back part ofthe thigh is a continuation of thefascia that serves to bind downall the muscles except the glu-teus maximus, keeping them intheir proper place, preventingthe one muscle from starting overthe other, thereby increasing theiraction. Above the fascia which investsthe thigh behind, we meet withseveral cutaneous nerves ; these * The following incisions arc better calculated to dcvelope the glutii. One.

The gluteus maximus is now to be lifted from its origin, and lefthanging by its tendon ; remark the large bursa niucosi formed betweenthe tendon and the trochanter major; and another between its insertioninto the fascia and the tendon of the vastus externus.
