A Schematic diagram showing the initial location of the probe. The probe is moved from the proximal to distal hip joint along the region between the sartorius and tensor fasciae latae muscles (arrow). ASIS, anterior superior iliac spine; TFL, tensor fasciae latae; S, sartorius. B Transverse ultrasound image of the non-fan variation within the intermuscular space between the sartorius and the tensor fasciae latae (yellow arrow: main branch, White arrow: thin branch). TFL, tensor fasciae latae; S, sartorius. C Transverse ultrasound image of the fan variation within the intermuscular space between the sartorius and the tensor fasciae latae (arrows: several nerve branches). TFL, tensor fasciae latae; S, sartorius
