Clinical outcomes after endoscopic repair of gluteus medius tendon tear using a knotless technique with a 2-year minimum follow-up
Arthroscopy Sep 01, 2020
Kirby D, Fried JW, Bloom DA, et al. - This study was attempted to assess clinical outcomes in patients who had undergone endoscopic gluteus medius repair with at least a 2-year follow-up. Researchers conducted a single-center, single-surgeon retrospective study including a total of 19 patients (20 hips) who had undergone endoscopic knotless gluteus medius repair between August 2010 and August 2016 with ≥ 2 years of follow-up. They examined preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and graded according to the Goutallier/Fuchs classification; preoperative x-rays and graded according to the Tonnis classification. In comparison with baseline, endoscopic repair for gluteus medius tears results in improved modified Harris hip score and non-arthritic hip score at 2 years of follow-up. It was noted that most individuals reach critical thresholds of minimal and satisfactory clinical improvement.
