Beatty Maneuver | Piriformis Syndrome | Deep Gluteal Syndrome Hip<\/h2>\nDeep gluteal syndrome, abbreviated as DGS is defined as pain in the buttock area caused by a non-discogenic entrapment of the sciatic nerve in the subgluteal space.\n\nThe structures that can be involved in sciatic nerve entrapment are not only the piriformis, but also fibrous bands containing blood vessels, gluteal muscles, hamstring muscles, the gemelli-obturator internus complex, vascular abnormalities and space-occupying lesions.For this reason, the term \u201cdeep gluteal syndrome\u201d instead of \u201cpirformis syndrome\u201d is now preferred.\n\nCommonly reported symptoms include hip or buttock pain and tenderness in the gluteal and retro-trochanteric region. The pain is often described to be sciatica-like, often unilateral and exacerbated with rotation of the hip in flexion and knee extension. Other symptoms include intolerance of sitting for more than 20 to 30 minutes, limping, disturbed or loss of sensation in the affected extremity and pain at night getting better during the day.\n\nNo diagnostic studies have been done on the Beatty maneuver yet, which is why we give it a questionable clinical value in practice.\n

To perform the test, have the patient lie on the unaffected side with hips and knees flexed. Then ask your patient to abduct his thigh so that it comes off the table.\n\nThis test is positive if deep buttock pain is elicited in the affected upper side, while back is described in patients with lumbar disk disease.\n\nOther common tests to assess for deep gluteal syndrome are:\n
