Traumatic isolated bilateral gluteus minimus injuries misdiagnosed as lumbar radiculopathy: A case report

Figure 2 The images include the initial magnetic resonance images of both hips and the follow-up images. A: Coronal magnetic resonance images (MRI) images obtained during the emergency room visit reveal abnormalities in the bilateral gluteus minimus muscles; B: T2-weighted MRI images of the bilateral hip joints reveal areas of high signal intensity in the gluteus minimus muscles, along with a slight accumulation of fluid around the greater trochanter and partial tearing of the gluteus minimus attachment; C: Follow-up MRI of the bilateral hip joints shows significant improvement in the previously damaged gluteus minimus muscles compared to earlier images.
