“A tear can be anything from a very mild strain of a few fibers tearing, to 99 percent of the fibers tearing.” When your muscle is torn, it’s either being overstretched or strained with too much weight. Commonly, a strain occurs when your muscles are overloaded in areas like your shoulders, hamstrings, quadriceps, calves and back.
What is Muscle Tear? Muscle Tear is referred to a medical condition in which there is a rupture or strain of a muscle or tendons to which the muscle is attached in the body caused due to an injury or due to overworking of the muscles and acute muscle fatigue.
Why Do Tendons Tear?

The gluteus medius is a muscle lying between the gluteus maximus and gluteus minimus. Its posterior third is covered by the gluteus maximus, while the anterior two-thirds is superficial, covered only by a strong layer of deep fascia. Gluteus medius lies on top of the gluteus minimus, covering the minimus muscle.
upper buttockGluteus medius is located on the lateral aspect of the upper buttock, below the iliac crest. The superior muscle is broad with the muscle narrowing towards its insertional tendon giving it a fan-shape. Gluteus maximus covers all of the gluteal muscles except for the antero-superior third of the Gluteus medius.
Tears to the gluteus medius or gluteus minimus, two of the three muscles in the buttocks, can cause pain and instability in the outside of the hips. These injuries can occur acutely due to a traumatic injury or over time due to degeneration of related tendons.
posterior hipGluteus medius is a large fan-shaped muscle located in the posterior hip, extending from the ilium to the proximal femur.
Special tests such as single-leg squat test or positive Trendelenburg sign confirms the diagnosis of a gluteus medius tear. MRI or ultrasound may be helpful to view the pathological changes of the muscle.
The gluteus medius and gluteus minimus are two of the gluteal muscles that make up the outer buttocks in the human body. They are broad, thick, and relatively strong muscles important in making sure the hips are level. These muscles work together to help maintain balance and lower body control.
The gluteus maximus is the most superficial as well as largest of the three muscles and makes up most of the shape and form of the buttock and hip area. The gluteus maximus is a thick fleshy muscle with a quadrangular shape....These muscles include:Gluteus maximus.Gluteus medius.Gluteus minimus.
That's kind of what the relationship is like between the Gluteus Medius and the Hip Adductors. The Glute Med is responsible for keeping your thigh knee out away from your midline. Conversely, your adductors' job is to pull your thigh and knee inwards towards the midline of your body.
Gluteal Tendon Tears. The gluteal tendons are the attachments of the powerful gluteal muscles to the femur bone. These can tear, which can cause hip pain, weakness, and limping. The gluteal tendons are the attachments of two strong muscles, gluteus medius and gluteus minimus into the femur (thigh bone).
Partial-thickness undersurface tears of the gluteus medius were identified as a common pathologic entity. Although these tears are otherwise analogous to partial-thickness tears of the rotator cuff, the lack of arthroscopic access to the deep side of the gluteus medius tendon represents a unique technical challenge.
The gluteus minimus is located in the buttock region and helps with abduction (movement away from the body) and medial (inward) rotation of the thigh. It is located deep and slightly anterior to the gluteus medius. A tear to the gluteus minimus can occur from a traumatic injury.
The gluteus medius is one of the main pelvic stabiliser muscles and plays a significant role in controlling transverse and frontal plane motion of the femur and hip [8], providing stability to the lumbopelvic-hip complex [9].
When these muscles are weak, you overcompensate by using the muscles in your back to stabilize your body. This adds stress, pressure and tension to the low back, thus increasing the load on the spine, and creating gluteus medius pain and significant discomfort.
The two most common causes of gluteus medius pain are tendonitis and tendon tears. Tendonitis AKA inflammation of the tendon can be caused by a number of different factors. Common examples include repetitive activity, overuse, poor posture, and poor technique (3).
Gluteus medius tears cause pain and weakness on the affected side of the hip. Initial treatment involves ice, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and activity modification to decrease pain and inflammation. If a severe, full-thickness gluteus medius tear is present, surgical repair may be required.
