Bones of the Gluteal region:

The gluteal region comprises dorsal surfaces of three bones

• Hip bone
• Sacrum
• Proximal femur

•  Acetabulum faces antero-laterally
•  Obturator foramen is antero-inferior
•  Pubis faces Anteriorly
•  Ischial tuberosity is postero-inferior
•  Iliac crest faces supero-lateral

In the anatomical position, the anterior superior iliac spine is in the same plane as the pubic symphysis.

Siding the femur:

• The head of the femur faces supero-medial.
• The greater trochanter faces laterally.
• The anterior surface is convex while the posterior is concave.
• Femoral condyles are inferior.
