AANA19 Hip Access Pass-Abductor Repair for Dummies-Dr. Benjamin Domb, M.D.

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Lal discusses greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) and the understanding of its underlying pathology. The main focus is on the abductor mechanism and its involvement in GTPS. The initial treatment for GTPS is conservative, including physical therapy and NSAIDs. If these measures fail, injections such as cortisone or PRP may be considered. When conservative treatments don't work, endoscopic or open surgery options may be explored. Three different surgical techniques are discussed for different types of tears: the suture staple technique for tears less than 50% thickness, the transtendinous repair technique for partial thickness tears, and the double row suture bridge technique for full thickness tears. Gluteus maximus transfer is also mentioned as a salvage technique for irreparable gluteus medius tears. The video concludes by highlighting the various non-operative and surgical management options for GTPS and gluteal tears.
