The tensor fascia latae (TFL) primarily inserts into the iliotibial band (IT band), which then continues to insert onto the lateral condyle of the tibia. This muscle plays a role in stabilizing the hip and knee during movement. Additionally, some fibers of the TFL may also contribute to the stabilization of the hip joint.

Why tensor fascia lata muscle given this name?
The tensor fascia lata (TFL) muscle is named for its function and anatomical relationship. "Tensor" refers to its role in tensing the fascia, specifically the iliotibial band, which runs along the outer thigh. "Fascia lata" translates to "wide band," indicating the broad connective tissue that the muscle influences. Together, the name reflects both the muscle's action and its association with the surrounding fascia.
