Results Musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound of the left hip revealed a high-grade gluteus medius partial tear and gluteus minimus tendinosis and partial thickness tear. Discussion Gluteal tendon tears are commonly underdiagnosed. Greater trochanteric pain syndrome is commonly due to gluteus minimus or ...
Greater trochanteric pain syndrome includes a spectrum of hip pathology, including trochanteric bursitis, gluteus medius or minimus tendinosis, partial abductor tear, full-thickness tear, and full-thickness tear plus retraction (with or without fatty atrophy). Physical diagnosis includes palpation for ...
Tear characteristics (partial or full-thickness) did not correlate with fatty degeneration or muscular atrophy and did not affect postoperative outcomes. Conclusions: Endoscopic surgical repair can be an effective treatment of gluteus medius tears in the short term. Fatty degeneration of the gluteus ...
