A complete tear will lead to loss of hip abduction. In cases of intractable pain with examination findings of trochanteric bursitis and weakness in the hip abductors, imaging studies calling attention to a possible tendon rupture may be diagnostic. Endoscopic repair of gluteus medius tendon tears ...
Most of the critical neurovascular structures are located in the gluteus medius-minimus compartment. Precise knowledge of these structures helps prevent operative injury and improve understanding of this rare compartment syndrome. The superior gluteal artery, vein, and nerve exit from above the piriformis...

Conclusions: Endoscopic surgical repair can be an effective treatment of gluteus medius tears in the short term. Fatty degeneration of the gluteus medius and minimus has a negative impact on clinical outcomes of endoscopic gluteus medius repair.Thaunat, Mathieu...
1Trendelenburg Gait and Sign (Abnormal Gluteus Medius and Minimus Gait) ADefinition of Trendelenburg Gait (or Trendelenburg’s Symptom; Friedrich Trendelenburg 1844–1924) The Trendelenburg gait occurs when the gluteus medius and minimus do not function properly. These two muscles abduct the hip, an...
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 ...
An MRI of his left hip revealed a full-thickness tear of the gluteus medius tendon and partial thickness tear of the gluteus minimus tendon. There was no recent history of a fall or trauma. The patient underwent glut eus medius tendon repair, which was successful. Setting Tertiary care ...
