Question 1

hip bursitis caused by a tear in gluteus medius tendon mri showed  tear of 23mm ap  and 30 mm retraction fluid distension and tears of acetabular  lab

Accepted Answer

Review mri : You need to have your MRI reviewed and get a good exam of the affected area
you will likely improve with rest, nsaids and
physical therapy 
surgical treatment is unlikely unless you are
very young and athletic which sometimes
requires a hip arthroscopic surgery.

Question 2

is prp (platelet rich plasma therapy) effective for severe tendon tears (gluteus minimus and medius)?

Accepted Answer

PRP unproven: Prp has been used for tendonitis in the elbow but has not been studied in hip muscles.  It will not aid in the repair of complete tendon tears, but may aid in the resolution of tendonitis around the hip.  If you have a complete tendon tear, you need surgery to repair the ruptured tendons.  It is much more likely to have tendonitis which may respond to prp.  I would try pt and nsaids before prp.

Question 3

went for xrays these are the results there is a tendonapothy noted of the gluteus medius insertion on to the greater trochanter thickening of tendon?

Accepted Answer

Tendonitis: It appears that you have tendon pathology rather than significant hip arthritis. An orthopedic specialist could evaluate you, review the films and advise you best about diagnosis and treatment. Other imaging studies may or may not be recommended for diagnostic purposes.

Question 4

is it possible to hear your tendon tear?

Accepted Answer

Would feel more likE: A "popping" than a tear.

Question 5

is it actually possible to hear a tendon tear?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely: I have had patients tell me that their tendon tears have sounded like a gun going off, a loud pop, a snap, etc.  These tendon tears have included rotator cuff, pectoralis major, triceps, biceps, hamstrings, quads, patellar, and achilles.

Question 6

can a tendon tear in my forearm?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Tendons tear from trauma and if the injury was directed at the forearm, it could happen there. You should ice the injured area and seek the attention of an orthopedic surgeon as soon as possible.

Question 7

what could cause a patellar tendon tear?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately No: No.  Patellar tendons, like other tendons in the body, do not regrow.  They need to be surgically re-attached or augmented with tendon graft materials in the event of a rupture or injury.

Question 8

patellar tendon tear. how could that happen?

Accepted Answer

Patellar tendon: Any rupture of a tendon requires surgery or repair. Patellar tendon is pretty strong, it needs enormous amount of force or injury to rupture.

Question 9

will i go to surgery for a quads tendon tear?

Accepted Answer

Patellar tendon: Any rupture of a tendon requires surgery or repair.

Question 10

how to know if i have an achilles tendon tear?

Accepted Answer

See below: Clinical exam and perhaps and mri. Can be partial tear or complete tear. Complete tear is more obvious and will prevent you from walking or standing.
