Extension contracture of the hip due to idiopathic fibrosis of the gluteus maximus

S S Yadav. Int Surg. 1978 Jan.

Abstract

Extension contracture of the hip in our case was produced by a thick fibrous band in the substance of the gluteus maximus. The patient had never received an injection around this hip. Z-plasty of the fibrous band led to immediate and full flexion of the hip and the patient was relieved of her symptoms.
