Diagnosis of gluteus medius syndrome can be confirmed by a history of local trauma and other injuries, signs and symptoms of long-term chronic pain, and ancillary tests such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
1. Medical history: Most patients may have a history of localized trauma, prolonged sedentary lifestyle, exposure to cold, and overexertion.
2. Clinical symptoms and signs: most patients may have long-term chronic pain in the buttocks, which is mainly aching, with localized pressure points in the buttocks, and pain in the buttocks and thighs when raising the leg straight up, and the symptoms of calf nerves are negative, and the symptoms will be serious when they are overworked.
3. Auxiliary examination: the main examination includes magnetic resonance of the hip showing inflammatory changes in the gluteus medius muscle, and some patients may have secondary changes such as hip joint subluxation and gluteal muscle atrophy.
It is recommended that patients with gluteus medius syndrome go to the hospital in time for early treatment to minimize the adverse effects of the disease.
