Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures
  • Musculoskeletal Disorders

Background:

  • Peritrochanteric hip pain, often caused by gluteus medius tears, frequently requires surgical intervention when conservative treatments fail.
  • Endoscopic gluteus medius repair is a viable option for patients with debilitating hip pain.
  • The procedure is most commonly performed in women aged 45-75.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic gluteus medius repair for debilitating peritrochanteric hip pain.
  • To describe different surgical techniques based on tear characteristics.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of endoscopic gluteus medius repair cases.
  • Surgical techniques included single-row repair (undersurface partial-thickness, small full-thickness tears), double-row repair (larger full-thickness tears), and side-to-side repair (superficial partial-thickness tears).

Main Results:

  • Short-term follow-up demonstrated significant improvements in the Hip Outcome Score for activities of daily living.
  • Patients also reported significant improvements in their Numeric Rating Scale pain scores.

Conclusions:

  • Endoscopic gluteus medius repair is an effective treatment for debilitating hip pain resulting from gluteus medius tears.
  • The choice of repair technique (single-row, double-row, side-to-side) is tailored to the specific tear morphology.
  • The procedure leads to substantial short-term functional and pain relief.
