Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the outcomes of hip abductor tendon (HAT) repair for patients suffering from greater trochanteric pain syndrome, revealing significant clinical and functional improvements post-surgery.
- 112 patients underwent a comprehensive surgical procedure and were evaluated for hip function and strength over a year, showing consistent enhancement in various measures such as hip scores and walking tests.
- Most patients reported high satisfaction levels with their recovery, alongside a low 2.7% failure rate after 12 months, indicating the procedure's effectiveness.
