We report a case of a 53 year old female with breast cancer and elevated glucose activity at the left greater trochanter on PET imaging. Further imaging with CT and MRI showed that this focus of increased FDG activity on PET was calcific tendinosis of the gluteus medius tendon, which mimic...
The 14 tendons in this study included patellar (5), Achilles (4), proximal gluteus medius (1), proximal iliotibial tract (1), proximal hamstring (1), common extensor elbow (1), and proximal rectus femoris (1). The composite VAS score was significantly lower at both 4 weeks (mean +/-...

Intervention: Treatment consisted of independent stretching of the quadriceps, resistive strengthening of the gluteus medius and quadriceps, eccentric overloading of the quadriceps and patellar tendon, and proprioceptive/balance activities for the knee complex. As the primary focus f...
