anterior end of the external lip of the iliac crest the tensor fasciae latae muscle 

 takes origin. 



The anterior border of the ilium stretches from the anterior superior iliac spine 

 to the margin of the acetabulum below. Above, it is thin ; but below, it forms 

 a thick blunt process, the spina iliaca anterior inferior (anterior inferior iliac 

 spine). From this the rectus femoris muscle arises, whilst the stout fibres of the

ilio-femoral ligament of the hip-joint' are attached to it immediately above the 

 ace tabular margin. Posteriorly, the crest terminates in the spina iliaca posterior 

 superior (posterior superior iliac spine). Below this, the posterior border of the bone 

 is sharp and irregularly notched, and descends to a prominent angle, the spina iliaca 

 posterior inferior (posterior inferior iliac spine). In front of the posterior inferior 

 iliac spine the edge of the bone becomes thick and rounded, and sweeps forwards 

 and downwards, round a wide notch called the incisura ischiadica major (greater 

 sciatic notch), to join the posterior border of the ischium behind the acetabulum.
