The most common cause of this pain is trochanteric bursitis. This usually improves with conservative treatment. In a few cases it doesn't settle and warrants further investigation and treatment. We present a series of 28 patients who underwent MRI scanning for such pain, 16 were found to have a tear of their abductors. All 16 underwent surgical repair using multiple soft tissue anchors inserted into the greater trochanter of the hip to reattach the abductors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>There were 15 females and 1 male. All patients completed a self-administered questionnaire pre-operatively and 1 year post-operatively. Data collected included: A visual analogue score for hip pain, Charnley modification of the Merle D'Aubigne and Postel hip score, Oxford hip score, Kuhfuss score of Trendelenburg and SF36 scores.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Of the 16 patients who underwent surgery 5 had a failure of surgical treatment. There were 4 re ruptures, 3 of which were revised and 1 deep infection which required debridement. In the remaining 11 patients there were statistically significant improvements in hip symptoms. The mean change in visual analogue score was 5 out of 10 (p=0.0024) The mean change of oxford hip score was 20.5 (p=0.00085). The mean improvement in SF-36 PCS was 8.5 (P=0.0020) and MCS 13.7 (P=0.134). 6 patients who had a Trendelenburg gait pre-surgery had normal gait 1 year following surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>We conclude that hip abductor mechanism tear is a frequent cause of recalcitrant trochanteric pain that should be further investigated with MRI scanning. Surgical repair is a successful operation for reduction of pain and improvement of function. However there is a relatively high failure rate.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/112070000901900412","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,26]],"date-time":"2018-01-26T11:55:29Z","timestamp":1516967729000},"page":"372-376","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":86,"title":["Surgical Repair of Chronic Tears of the Hip Abductor Mechanism"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Hywel","family":"Davies","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Avon Orthopaedic Centre, Bristol - UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sohelia","family":"Zhaeentan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kings College Hospital, London - UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adel","family":"Tavakkolizadeh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"T\u00e4by N\u00e4rsjukhus and Danderyd University Hospital, Stockholm - Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gregory","family":"Janes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Perth Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine, Perth - Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-112070000901900412","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.79B4.7033"},{"key":"bibr2-112070000901900412","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.80B1.0800182b"},{"key":"bibr3-112070000901900412","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2214\/ajr.173.4.10511191"},{"key":"bibr4-112070000901900412","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.PHM.0000140792.48248.49"},{"key":"bibr5-112070000901900412","first-page":"579","volume":"31","author":"Lonner J.H.","year":"2002","journal-title":"Am J Orthop"},{"key":"bibr6-112070000901900412","first-page":"1810","volume":"18","author":"Traycoff R.B.","year":"1991","journal-title":"J Rheumatol"},{"key":"bibr7-112070000901900412","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/JBJS.F.01201"},{"key":"bibr8-112070000901900412","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1054\/arth.2001.19158"},{"key":"bibr9-112070000901900412","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-195436030-00001"},{"key":"bibr10-112070000901900412","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.78B2.0780185"},{"key":"bibr11-112070000901900412","first-page":"316","volume":"113","author":"Kuhfuss W.","year":"1975","journal-title":"Z Orthop Ihre Grenzgeb"},{"key":"bibr12-112070000901900412","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005650-199206000-00002"},{"key":"bibr13-112070000901900412","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.annrmp.2006.07.058"},{"key":"bibr14-112070000901900412","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00003086-199911000-00016"},{"key":"bibr15-112070000901900412","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2006.12.014"},{"key":"bibr16-112070000901900412","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0883-5403(97)90067-X"},{"key":"bibr17-112070000901900412","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1529-0131(200109)44:9<2138::AID-ART367>3.0.CO;2-M"},{"key":"bibr18-112070000901900412","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.88B4.16845"}],"container-title":["HIP International"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/112070000901900412","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/112070000901900412","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,29]],"date-time":"2026-04-29T08:19:54Z","timestamp":1777450794000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/112070000901900412"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2009,10]]},"references-count":18,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2009,10]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/112070000901900412"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/112070000901900412","relation":{},"ISSN":["1120-7000","1724-6067"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1120-7000","type":"print"},{"value":"1724-6067","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2009,10]]}}}
