As appropriate sites for injection site in the buttocks, right and/or left upper quadrant of the buttocks and the site of Clark have been considered. The sebaceous thickness of right and/or left upper quadrant of the buttocks had a significantly thicker than the site of Clark (p<0.001), and 12 right and/or left upper quadrant of the buttocks existed the gluteus maximus muscle directly under the sebaceous thickness. However gluteus medius muscle of site of Clark was thicker than right and/or left upper quadrant of the buttocks (p<0.01). Ten buttocks (30.3%) were observed damage to the superior gluteal nerve when the injection needle prick the top of gluteus minimus muscle on right and/or left upper quadrant of the buttocks.
