Description
Summary:Abstract A case of acute calcific tendinitis of gluteus maximus muscle is presented. The X-ray showed classical amorphous cluster of calfication at the lateral aspect of the proximal femur around the linea aspera. MRI findings included minor cortical erosion and diffused edema in the affected area. Local and radiating pain along the sciatic nerve was prominent in this case, which was unusual in gluteus maximus tendinitis.
