Abstract

|
The most common anatomic location of calcific tendinitis is the suprasupinatus muscle of the shoulder joint. However, it is known to develop in any joint including the hip, knee, wrist, and elbow. Around the hip joint, it occurres at three sites, namely in the tendon of gluteus medius, in the bursa between the tendon of gluteus medius and the greater trochanter and in the undersurface of gluteus medius but not connected to the trochanter. The occurrence of calcific tendinitis in the rectus femoris is very rare. We report an unusual case of calcific tendinitis, which developed in the rectus femoris. Plain radiographs and CT of the pelvis showed calcification within the rectus femoris. Ultrasound-guided injection of corticosteroid and local anaesthetic showed to be effective in relieving pain
