Video Summary

The speaker begins by expressing gratitude for the opportunity to present and thanking their co-authors. They discuss the background of glute tears, which were initially misdiagnosed as trochanteric bursitis and associated with steroid injections. Glute tears typically occur in females aged 40-60 and present with lateral hip pain, weakness, and Trendelenburg gait. MRI is essential for accurate assessment. Conservative management is attempted before surgery, which involves repairing the tear using a double row technique. Post-operative care includes maintaining a level pelvis and using ambulatory aids until the pelvis is stable. Results of the study showed improved functionality, hip abduction strength, pain reduction, and resolution of Trendelenburg sign. No complications were reported. The speaker concludes that endoscopic abductor tendon repair is safe and successful.
