MRI showed good accuracy for the diagnosis of tears of the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus tendons. The identification of an area of T2 hyperintensity superior to the greater trochanter had the highest sensitivity and specificity for tears at 73% and 95%, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
