PURPOSE: To evaluate trochanteric anatomy with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging,
bursography, MR bursography, and anatomic analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: T1 …

Background Improving activity and strength of the gluteus medius muscle is a common goal
among clinicians aiming to rehabilitate lower extremity and low back injuries. The functional …

Background The gluteus medius (GMED) affects hip function as an abductor. We evaluated
muscle volume and degeneration of the GMED by using CT-based analysis and assessed …

BACKGROUND: Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is a major cause of morbidity. Rehabilitation for this
population focuses on strengthening the hip muscles, particularly the abductors, however …

Background: The anterior approach to the hip joint is widely used in pediatric and adult
orthopaedic surgery, including hip arthroplasty. Atrophy of the tensor fasciae latae muscle …

The organization of fibers within a muscle (architecture) defines the performance capacity of
that muscle. In the current commentary, basic architectural terms are reviewed in the context …

Gluteus minimus is believed to consist of two structurally and functionally unique segments
(anterior and posterior); however there is a lack of electromyography (EMG) research that …

The fascia lata, or deep fascia of the thigh, is a complex anatomic structure that has not been
emphasized as a potential source of pelvic and hip pain. This structure represents a broad …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the area, dimensions, and orientation
of the gluteus medius footprint to provide an improved understanding of its insertional …

This study aimed to investigate changes in the deep abductor muscles, gluteus medius
(GMED), piriformis (PIRI), and gluteus minimus (GMIN), occurring in association with …
