Degenerative gluteal tears associated with hip arthroplasty by Dani Gaillard-Campbell, Thomas Gross

“…All reported clinical outcomes (excluding mean HHS) in our cohort of hip arthroplasty patients did not differ significantly between cases without abductor tears and those that had gluteal repair at time of surgery. These results suggest abductor tears may be repaired at time of hip arthroplasty surgery without forgoing desirable functional outcomes. …”
