Torn muscles are categorized by the severity of the injury: mild which is a simple strain affecting 5% of a muscle’s fibers; moderate which is up to 25%-30% and accompanied by swelling, decreased range of motion and pain; and severe which is an actual tear in a muscle that is accompanied by extensive swelling.
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].
What is a Gluteus Tendon Tear? Most often found in people over the age of 40, a tear of the gluteus tendons may happen from a fall or repetitive injury to the tendon. A partial, or incomplete, tear of the tendon means that the tendon remains largely attached to the bone.

The gluteus medius muscle arises from the top of the pelvic bone and attaches to the outer side of the thigh bone or femur at the greater trochanter by the gluteus medius tendon. The muscle functions as a hip abductor, controlling side to side movement of the hip and providing stabilization to the joint.

Tears of the gluteus medius usually occur where the tendon inserts at the greater trochanter, causing lateral hip pain. Tears of the gluteus medius can occur due to traumatic injury or degenerative conditions such as tendinopathy (chronic inflammation of the gluteus medius tendon).
A tear to the gluteus minimus can occur from a traumatic injury. In most cases, a gluteus minimus tear is degenerative and is caused by chronic inflammation from repetitive movements and overuse. Primary symptoms of a gluteus minimmus tear includes hip pain, an abnormal gait and lower back pain.
Although there isn't a specific ICD-10-CM code for pain in the buttock, you can use M79. 1 Myalgia.
Tendons are the tissues that attach the bones to the muscles in your body. Abductors are the muscles that rotate an arm or leg to the side of the body. The abductor tendons in the hip help the hip open out to the side. Tendonitis, tendinopathy, and abductor tears can be very painful and might cause other conditions.

Gluteus medius tears are also known as tears of the hip rotator cuff. The gluteus medius muscle helps connect your thighbone and your pelvis on the outside of your hips. This is an important joint for walking, sitting, and standing, and a tear can make it difficult or impossible to walk without a limp.
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.
