Diagnosis certain

Findings
was changed:
Extensive abductor tendon tear at the greater trochanter:
Thethe gluteus minimus tendon and the lateral portion of gluteus medius tendon are retracted, with a gap visible between the greater trochanter and the tendons on the STIR sequence.-
Trochanteric bursitis:
witharea of high STIR-hyperintense signal. -
signal intensity lateral to greater trochanter Fatty muscle degeneration
andand atrophy: of the gluteus minimus and gluteus medius muscle on T1-weighted sequence. -
Hip arthroplasty: without periprosthetic fracture or adjacent bone marrow
edemaoedema. However, there is communication between the trochanteric bursitis and the joint effusion.
