Calcific tendinitis of the gluteus maximus is a rare condition with poorly described operative treatment options. We present a 51-year-old man with chronic left posterolateral hip pain because of gluteus maximus calcific tendinitis that was refractory to conservative treatment. Endoscopy was pursued given the severity and chronicity of his symptoms. The patient remains asymptomatic without recurrence.
This is the first description of endoscopic management of calcific tendinitis of the gluteus maximus. This is a minimally invasive, efficacious option for management of this pathology.
臀大肌钙化性肌腱炎是一种罕见疾病,其手术治疗选择描述不佳。我们介绍了一位 51 岁男性,他因臀大肌钙化性肌腱炎导致慢性左侧髋关节后外侧疼痛,且对保守治疗无反应。鉴于其症状的严重程度和慢性程度,我们采用了内窥镜治疗。患者无症状,无复发。
这是首例描述经内镜治疗臀大肌钙化性肌腱炎的病例。这是一种微创、有效的治疗该病理的方法。
