Fig. 2B —21-year-old man with unilateral (right-side) gluteal contracture. Healthy left buttock can be used for comparison. Spin-echo T1-weighted axial image (600/16) at lower portion of both buttocks shows atrophic and medial retraction of right gluteus maximus muscle (arrowhead), thickening and mild retraction of its tendon and iliotibial tract (black arrows), and depressed groove at muscle-tendon junction. More anteverted axis of right femoral neck (double-headed arrows) suggests mild external rotation of right femur. Healthy left gluteus maximus muscle extends to lateral aspect of greater trochanter and inserts on iliotibial tract (white arrow). Gmax = gluteus maximum muscle.
