What Is the Prevalence of Hip Abductor Pathology in Patients Undergoing Total Hip Arthroplasty?
There is a high prevalence of hip abductor pathology in patients presenting for THA. Clinicians should evaluate patients for signs of abductor tendon pathology when presenting for consideration of THA. Careful examination and MRI may be helpful to further evaluate the status of the gluteus minimus and gluteus medius musculotendinous units.
