Clinical outcomes after endoscopic repair of gluteus medius tendon tear using a knotless technique with a two-year minimum follow-up

Arthroscopy Jul 30, 2020

Kirby D, Fried JW, Bloom DA, et al. - This research was undertaken to investigate clinical outcomes in patients who had undergone endoscopic gluteus medius repair with at least a two-year follow-up. Between August 2010-August 2016, researchers performed a single-center, single-surgeon retrospective study including a total of 19 patients (20 hips) who had undergone endoscopic knotless gluteus medius repair with at least 2 years of follow-up. They examined preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and analyzed graded according to the Goutallier/Fuchs classification; preoperative x-rays and graded according to the Tonnis classification. They prospectively obtained baseline and two-year postoperative Modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) and Non-arthritic Hip Score (NAHS). They ascertained the number of patients reaching the minimal clinically important difference and patient acceptable symptomatic rate. For gluteus medius tears, endoscopic repair results in improved mHHS and NAHS at two-years of follow-up in comparison with baseline. It was indicated that most individuals reach critical thresholds of minimal and satisfactory clinical improvement.
