All of the following statements regarding the deep fascia of the thigh are true except:
Deep Fascia of the Thigh's (Fascia Lata) upper end is attached to the pelvis and the inguinal ligament. On its lateral aspect, it is thickened to form the iliotibial tract, which is attached above to the iliac tubercle and below to the lateral condyle of the tibia. The iliotibial tract receives the inseion of the tensor fasciae latae and the greater pa of the gluteus maximus muscle.In the gluteal region, the deep fascia forms sheaths, which enclose the tensor fasciae latae and the gluteus maximus muscles.The saphenous opening is a gap in the deep fascia in the front of the thigh just below the inguinal ligament. It transmits the great saphenous vein, some small branches of the femoral aery, and lymph vessels.The saphenous opening is filled with loose connective tissue called the cribriform fascia.
It splits in the gluteal region to enclose gluteus maximus muscle
Iliotibial tract forms a sheath for tensor fasciae latae muscle
Medially the fascia is thickened to form iliotibial tract
It is also known as fascia lata
