Abstract
A 36-year-old male presented with a traumatic partial tear of the gluteus maximus tendon following a fall with twisting mechanism of injury. He presented with pain that did not improve despite 6 months of conservative treatment and eventually required surgical repair. He recovered fully after repair and returned to a normal lifestyle at 3-month follow-up. Gluteus maximus tendon tear is a rare injury with little published literature regarding the clinical presentation, data related to epidemiology, and treatment management options. We present our case report to shed some light on this rare pathology.Keywords
