The fascia lata (FL) is a fascial plane that surrounds the deep tissues of the thigh. It varies in thickness throughout its course from the hip to the leg. It receives fibers from gluteus maximus and tensor fascia lata (TFL) laterally. This arrangement could explain the often interchangeability with the (TFL) and the iliotibial band (ITB) colloquially. The TFL often serves as a landmark for surgical procedures, including anterior/anterolateral hip and femur procedures. It functions as a lateral stabilizer to the knee and an abductor of the hip/thigh. The ITB is an extension of the tensor fascia, and it is redundant tissue in the lateral thigh compartment partially composed of the TFL. All of these components work synchronously to stabilize the lateral compartment of the thigh.
阔筋膜（FL）是一个围绕大腿深部组织的筋膜平面。从髋部到腿部，它在整个行程中的厚度各不相同。它在外侧接收来自臀大肌和阔筋膜张肌（TFL）的纤维。这种结构可以解释为何在通俗说法中它常常与（TFL）和髂胫束（ITB）互换使用。TFL常作为手术操作的标志，包括前侧/前外侧髋关节和股骨手术。它起到膝关节外侧稳定器以及髋关节/大腿外展肌的作用。ITB是阔筋膜张肌的延伸，是大腿外侧间室的冗余组织，部分由TFL组成。所有这些组件协同工作以稳定大腿的外侧间室。
