Three cases of contracture of the gluteal muscles were reported. The cases had past hastoryies of repeated intramuscular injections into both buttocks at infancy.Their mothers noticed an abnormal gait with the abducted hips at three years of age. Two of the cases sat in a frog leg position, and they were unable to flex the hips in a sagittal plane, but in an abducted plane.Their trouble and handicaps in daily life could be improved by release operation of the contracted fascia and muscles.
