(A, C): axial US scans carried out at the gluteus muscles and their insertion on to the greater trochanter. (B, D): T1-weighted MR images corresponding to the US scans. US provides visualization of the gluteus medius muscle (MG) and the deeper located gluteus minimus muscle (PG). The image obtained at the level of the tendons provides distinction between the tendon of the gluteus minimus muscle (black arrow) traveling in front of the tendon of the gluteus medius muscle (white arrow). Arrowhead: fasciae latae. VE = external vastus muscle (quadriceps muscle).
