The gluteus maximus is a large muscle in the buttocks. The upper fibers of the gluteus maximus insert into the iliotibial tract, and the lower fibers insert into the gluteal tuberosity of the femur. The ischial tuberosity is the origin (not insertion) of the gluteus maximus. The coccyx and sacrum are also origins. The greater trochanter (anterior or lateral aspect) is not an insertion site for the gluteus maximus.
