Gluteus minimus tendon: MR imaging features and patterns of tendon tearing

ConclusionsThe spectrum of GMin tendon pathology observed on MR imaging ranges from tendinopathy to complete tears. The majority of complete distal GMin tendon tears from the greater trochanter show continuity of distal tendon fibers with the proximal vastus lateralis, distally tethering and limiting proximal tendon retraction.
