We found a rare case of uncommon branching pattern with a prominent articular ramus of the inferior gluteal artery in a 39-year-old Korean male cadaver, whose cause of death was rectal carcinoma. The inferior gluteal artery branches off downwards at a time, the muscular rami ran in parallel with one another, and the articular ramus gave another muscular branch and has an anastomosis with the me...

INTRODUCTION Focused extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) has been demonstrated to improve wound healing and skin regeneration such as in burn wounds and scars. We hypothesized that the combination of focused ESWT and a daily gluteal muscle strength program is superior to SHAM-ESWT and gluteal muscle strength training in moderate to severe cellulite. METHODS This was a single-center, doubl...

Background: Vulvar cancer is a rare malignancy representing about 4% of all genital cancers in women. Historically, the gold standard for treatment squamous cell carcinoma vulva was en bloc radical vulvectomy with bilateral inguinofemoral lymphadenectomy. For reconstruction options are primary closure, skin grafts, or local and distant flaps. In this case we used gluteal fold fasciocutaneous V-...

Porocarcinoma is a very rare type of skin cancer arising from the eccrine sweat glands and poorly understood. The exact pathogenesis unknown. Clinical features are non-specific. It may present as painless, slow growing mass or nodule, ulcer, plaque, swelling, wart, papule naevus that increases in size over years to decades ulcerate bleed upon trauma. They occur equally both sexes most commonly ...

A case of atraumatic gluteal compartment syndrome complicated by sciatic nerve palsy and acute rhabdomyolysis is presented. A presumed diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis led to a delay in diagnosis. Gluteal compartment syndrome should be considered in the differential diagnosis of the swollen leg.

PURPOSE To compare the outcome of open versus endoscopic gluteal tendon repair. METHODS An extensive review of PubMed was conducted by 2 independent reviewers for articles containing at least 1 of the following search terms: gluteus medius, gluteus medius tear, gluteus medius tendinopathy, gluteus medius repair, hip abductors, hip abductor tears, hip abductor repair, hip rotator cuff, hip rot...

Gluteal strength improvement is positively correlated with improved outcomes following hip arthroscopy femoroacetabular impingement correction. Arthroscopic surgery in itself also postoperative gluteal strength. A trial of physical therapy or best conservative care can improve strength; however, oftentimes this insufficient treatment. Hip pain and function whilst improving When conveyed to pati...

Compartment syndrome is a well described limb-threatening and potentially life-threatening condition. Compartment syndromes of the upper and lower limbs are well documented in the literature. The gluteal region, however, is often not considered as a compartment despite having three osseofascial boundaries. We report a case of gluteal compartment syndrome which resulted from a bone marrow biopsy...

The most common surgical techniques performed for gluteal augmentation employ the use of implants and a combination of liposuction/lipo-injection procedures. We review the major literature concerning this subject with emphasis on gluteal implants, the various indications, surgical techniques and complications are discussed and we present some of our cases. Contour reconstruction, indications su...

The aim of this study was to compare the bacterial load of unclipped gluteal skin in dairy cows following either no treatment or treatment with a standard 70% isopropyl alcohol-based skin treatment protocol. Twenty Holstein-Friesian dairy cows from a commercial dairy herd in Cambridgeshire, England, were used in this randomised, blinded, controlled study. On each of the experimental cows an are...
