Clinical Trials

Overview

About this study

Tears of the abductor tendons have become an evermore-recognized source of debilitating lateral hip pain. Two broad surgical approaches have been described to manage these tears: repairing the tendons or performing a transfer of the Gluteus Maximus tendon. While a classification system has already been proposed to describe tear morphology and quality of the gluteus medius muscle on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging, little evidence is available to guide treatment (reconstruction versus muscle transfer).
