- Anatomy:
      - from the lumbo-sacral plexus, arises from posterior branches L4, L5, S1;
      - exits the pelvis and enters the gluteal regioin through the upper margin of the greater sciatic notch, just superior to the piriformis muscle.
      - it courses with superior gluteal artery  between gluteus medius and minimus, and supplies motor branches to both as well as the 
             tensor fascia lata.
