Deep gluteal syndrome [1] Location of piriformis syndrome within the body: Specialty: Orthopedics, sports medicine: Symptoms: Buttock pain that is worse with sitting [2] Duration: Long-term [3] Causes: Trauma, spasms, overuse injury [2] Diagnostic method: Based on symptoms [4] Differential diagnosis: Herniated disc, kidney stones, SI joint ...
The gluteal space is defined by anatomic landmarks. A simple way to think of the boundaries is the buttocks, or the tissue anterior to the whole of the gluteus maximus muscle. The specific boundaries (top, bottom, left, right, front, back) are defined as Posterior (back): the gluteus maximus [1]
In extreme cases, where the pain does not improve after physical therapy, cortisone shots, and anti-inflammatory medication, the inflamed bursa can be removed surgically. The procedure is known as a bursectomy. Tears in the muscles may also be repaired, and loose material from arthritic degeneration of the hip removed. [5]
The sciatic nerve can also be entrapped outside of the pelvic space and this is called deep gluteal syndrome. [19] Surgical research has identified new causes of entrapment such as fibrovascular scar bands, vascular abnormalities, heterotropic ossification, gluteal muscles, hamstring muscles, and the gemelli-obturator internus complex.

Superior gluteal nerve palsy causes injury to the superior gluteal nerve, which results in motor loss that manifests as a disabling gluteus medius limp. [5] The most common cause is an iatrogenic injury during hip surgery or an intramuscular injection. Lesions of the inferior gluteal nerve occur through iatrogenic injuries like surgery, trauma ...
The intergluteal cleft or just gluteal cleft, also known by a number of synonyms, including natal cleft and cluneal cleft, is the groove between the buttocks that runs from just below the sacrum to the perineum, [1] so named because it forms the visible border between the external rounded protrusions of the gluteus maximus muscles.
Medical ultrasound includes diagnostic techniques (mainly imaging techniques) using ultrasound, as well as therapeutic applications of ultrasound. In diagnosis, it is used to create an image of internal body structures such as tendons, muscles, joints, blood vessels, and internal organs, to measure some characteristics (e.g., distances and velocities) or to generate an informative audible sound.
A degloving injury is a type of soft-tissue avulsion injury that can occur anywhere in the body. [1] Commonly affected areas include the face, scalp, trunk, limbs, and genitalia. [ 1 ] Degloving injuries are caused by shearing forces that cause the soft tissue layers to get pulled apart.
