Abstract
Complete avulsion of hip abductor muscles may cause severe gait dysfunction and pain. An open surgical procedure to transfer tendons of the gluteus maximus and the tensor fasciae latae to the greater trochanter to make up for the deficient hip abductor has been proposed. The purpose of this study was to describe an endoscopic procedure to transfer gluteus maximus and the tensor fasciae latae to the greater trochanter for hip abductor deficiency.
