Abstract
Anatomical understanding of the peritrochanteric space and abductor insertions has been well documented in the literature. Extrapolating this knowledge to perform a "successful" abductor tendon repair has led to controversy over the best method to achieve a durable, stable repair and improve patient outcomes. I feel that the debate in the hip over single- versus double-row fixation is only beginning and we are in for a ride to uncover the best method, as we have with the shoulder over the last 15 years. What is best? Single or double row?
