Treatment of Abductor Deficiency Post Total Hip Arthroplasty Using Gluteus Maximus Transfer and Cortical Button Fixation
Securing the transfer of the anterior third of gluteus maximus using polyethylene suture tape and cortical button suspensory fixation results in flap healing to the recipient site. Clinical results obtained in patients undergoing this modified technique are consistent with the published results, supporting its use.
