Iliotibial Tract

The iliotibial tract (Iliofibular tract, Iliac tract) (lat. tractus iliotibialis) is a fibrous formation connecting the psoas major and minor muscles to the fibula. The iliotibial muscles begin at the sacrum and end at the fibula.

The iliotibial band muscle is one of the largest muscles in the human body. It is responsible for hip flexion and knee extension. In addition, it is involved in maintaining balance and coordination of movements.

This tract is one of the most important formations in the human body. It provides the connection between muscles and bones, which allows us to move and perform various activities.

**Iliotibial tract**:

*Iliac and tibial tracts* are intramuscular cavities located in the pelvic cavity. Along the upper lateral surface of the thigh, with their viscera they connect in front with the pubic symphysis and pelvic bones. Their medial walls in the form of pockets are crossed by a wide fascial plate (*messia symphysis*) or a thin and deep intermuscular septum (*messiata fascia*). The size, shape, and position of P. - B. t. change depending on whether they originate from the periosteum (then they are elongated) or develop from muscle tissue, like their own
