The purpose of this study is to evaluate the short- to mid-term outcomes of gluteus maximus transfer as a treatment for irreparable GM tears in the native hip.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Data was reviewed for all patients with native hips who underwent gluteus maximus transfer between 2011 and 2021. Patient were eligible for inclusion in the study if they presented with a full thickness irreparable GM tear treated with a gluteus maximus transfer and had completed preoperative and minimum 2-year postoperative questionnaires; or had a documented endpoint (revision surgery) within the study's timeframe. The minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for the mentioned PROs was calculated and included in the analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 15 native hips were included in the study, with all having a minimum 2-year follow-up and 8 reaching a minimum 5-year follow-up. The study group was predominantly female (93.3%), with a mean age of 66.7\u2009\u00b1\u20093.1\u2009years, 3 (20%) patients underwent the gluteus maximus transfer as a primary surgery while 12 (80%) underwent a revision surgery from a prior failed GM repair. Significant improvements were observed across all evaluated patient reported outcome measures with high patient satisfaction. Additionally, only 3 patients (20%) showed a residual Trendelenburg gait, with 80% of patients regaining a normal gait. These improvements were sustained from the 2-year to the 5-year timepoint. A high percentage of patients reached the calculated MCID.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Gluteus maximus transfer remains a salvage procedure for irreparable GM tears. This procedure demonstrated favourable short- to mid-term outcomes, high patient satisfaction rates, high rate of restoration of normal gait, and a substantial percentage of patients achieving clinically meaningful improvements in functional scores.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/11207000251371551","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,18]],"date-time":"2025-12-18T11:05:48Z","timestamp":1766055948000},"page":"437-443","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Short- to mid-term outcomes of gluteus maximus transfer for irreparable gluteus medius tears"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"36","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2164-5583","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roger","family":"Quesada-Jimenez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"American Hip Institute Research Foundation, Chicago, IL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-7723-4217","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elizabeth G","family":"Walsh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"American Hip Institute Research Foundation, Chicago, IL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Krishi","family":"Rana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"American Hip Institute Research Foundation, Chicago, IL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-8396-7099","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ady H","family":"Kahana-Rojkind","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"American Hip Institute Research Foundation, Chicago, IL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3937-8647","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Benjamin G","family":"Domb","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"American Hip Institute Research Foundation, Chicago, IL, USA"},{"name":"American Hip Institute, Chicago, IL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546520952766"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00402-019-03228-1"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/20503121211022582"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jhps\/hnz046"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jhps\/hnv035"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1120700020922522"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546519826969"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167-020-06354-1"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00256-015-2220-7"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.asmr.2021.07.026"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546513481575"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2023.11.031"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.eats.2022.06.015"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2021.02.020"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jisakos-2020-000474"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2010.06.002"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2015.04.101"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_19_2","article-title":"Combined transfer of the gluteus maximus and tensor fasciae latae for irreparable gluteus medius tear using contemporary techniques: short-term outcomes","volume":"5","author":"Maldonado DR","year":"2020","unstructured":"Maldonado DR, Annin S, Chen JW, et al.
