Surgical Treatment of Gluteus Medius Tears Augmented With Allograft Human Dermis.

ABSTRACT: Greater trochanteric pain syndrome can be caused by gluteus medius and minimus tendinopathy/tears and chronic trochanteric bursitis. Specifically, moderate-to-severe abductor tendon tears can cause severe lateral hip pain, limp, and abnormal gait. A variety of open and endoscopic techniques to treat glut abductors hip tears have been described. The use of scaffolds, such as acellular human dermal allograft, to augment tendon repair, already has been successfully reported in rotator cuff repairs of the shoulder. Still, the use of acellular human dermal allograft in the hip has been limited. However, there are some clinical scenarios in which augmentation of abductors hip tendon repair with scaffold is indicated. Chronic or massive gluteus tears or revision cases may benefit from augmentation with a scaffold. The purpose of this technical note and accompanying video is to describe our indications, pearls, and pitfalls of repair of moderate to severe gluteus tears via a minimally invasive technique augmented with acellular human dermal allograft.

Project description:Purpose To evaluate the effect of hip flexion and rotation on excursion of the gluteus medius (Gmed) and minimus (Gmin) myotendinous unit. Methods Seven hips from 4 cadaveric specimens (males, 68.5 ± 18.3 years old) were dissected to isolate the Gmed posterior and lateral insertions and the Gmin proximal and distal insertions. Sutures were placed from tendon insertions through origins created in the iliac fossa to simulate the myotendinous unit. A load of 10N was applied. Myotendinous excursion was measured at 10° hip extension and 0°, 45°, and 90° of hip flexion in neutral rotation, and from maximum internal and external rotation in 90° flexion. The amount of abduction and rotation was also measured at each flexion position with 20N applied to each tendon. Repeated-measures analysis of variance with Tukey post hoc was used for statistics. Results Gmed-lateral excursion ranged from 2.4 ± 0.4 mm in 10° of hip extension to 23.0 ± 1.5 mm in 90° of flexion (P < .001), and Gmed-posterior excursion ranged from 0.92 ± 0.5 mm in 10° of extension to 38.1 ± 1.1 mm in 90° of flexion (P < .001). Gmin excursion shortened with hip flexion from 4.2 ± 0.3 mm in 10° of extension to −0.2 ± 1.5 mm in 90° of flexion (Gmin-prox: P = .525, Gmin-distal: P < .001). At 90° flexion from maximum internal to maximum external rotation, Gmin-distal and proximal demonstrated a 92.6% and 51.3% increase in excursion, respectively (P < .001). Gmed-lateral and Gmed-posterior demonstrated 49.4% and 23.1% increase in excursion with external rotation, respectively (P < .001). Conclusions The Gmed myotendinous unit undergoes significant excursion with hip flexion, whereas both Gmed and Gmin had significant excursion with femoral external rotation in 90° flexion. Clinical Relevance It is important to understand whether active or passive hip flexion or rotation in the early postoperative period causes excessive strain to an abductor tendon repair. We found that consideration should be given to limit flexion after Gmed repair and external rotation after Gmed or Gmin repairs.
