The Endoscopic-to-Open Proximal Hamstring Repair Technique for Chronic, High-Grade Tears.

Arthroscopy techniques·2025

Open gluteus medius repair using acellular allograft augmentation is effective for complex tears, offering immediate structural support. This technique shows promise for improving patient outcomes and hip strength in challenging cases.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Musculoskeletal Research

Background:

  • Gluteus medius tears are common, particularly in older women, often due to degeneration.
  • Gluteus medius insufficiency leads to significant morbidity, necessitating surgical repair.
  • Both open and endoscopic repair methods yield similar biomechanical results.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the indications and technique for open gluteus medius double-row repair with acellular allograft augmentation.
  • To highlight the benefits of acellular allograft in enhancing repair construct strength.

Main Methods:

  • The procedure involves a lateral decubitus position and a direct lateral incision.
  • Gluteus medius/minimus tendons are mobilized, debrided, and repaired using a double-row technique with proximal anchors.
Keywords:

  • Acellular allograft is incorporated to augment the repair, with fixation checked dynamically.

    • Main Results:

    • Limited outcome studies, primarily case series, indicate favorable results.
    • Patients report improved outcomes, reduced pain, and enhanced hip abduction strength.
    • Improvements in gait have also been observed post-surgery.

    Conclusions:

    • Open gluteus medius repair with acellular allograft provides immediate structural integrity.
    • This technique is recommended for massive, retracted, degenerative, or revision tears with poor tissue quality or weakness.
