Abstract:
Tendinopathy of the gluteus and minimus tendons is an increasingly recognized source of lateral hip pain. In recalcitrant cases, following exhaustion of nonoperative modalities, operative treatment is being considered more aggressively and optimistically with both open and endoscopic techniques, promising significant pain relief and gait improvement. Recent cadaveric biomechanical analysis demonstrated increased anatomic footprint coverage and higher load to failure of double-row compared to single-row suture anchor techniques. Because of the combined advantages of both double-row anchors and rip-stop repair demonstrated in rotator cuff repair, this article proposes and highlights an open, double-row, rip-stop suture anchor technique to address abductor tendon tears.

Steel Fastening Techniques
Rivets are cylindrical steel fasteners with a specially designed head. During application, rivets are heated until white-hot and then inserted through pre-drilled holes in the steel sections. A pneumatic hammer is used to shape the exposed end into a second head, securing the sections together.
