A 45-year-old male presents to his primary care provider with an abnormal gait. He was hospitalized one week prior for acute cholecystitis and underwent a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. He received post-operative antibiotics via intramuscular injection. He recovered well and he was discharged on post-operative day #3. However, since he started walking after the operation, he noticed a limp that has not improved. On exam, his left hip drops every time he raises his left foot to take a step. In which of the following locations did this patient likely receive the intramuscular injection?
