Rehabilitation After Gluteus Medius and Minimus Treatment.

ABSTRACT: We reviewed the current literature regarding rehabilitation after gluteus medius and minimus tears as part of a conservative management or postoperative protocol. The greater trochanteric pain syndrome includes a constellation of pathologies that generate pain in the greater trochanteric region and may be accompanied by varying degrees of hip abductor disfunction. It may be related to tendinitis of the gluteus medius and minimus, greater trochanteric bursitis, or even formal tears of the hip abductor tendons. The initial management strategy of the hip abductor tears is conservative, including different anti-inflammatory therapies such as physical therapy and cortisone and platelet-rich plasma injections. The clearest indication for surgical management is failure of conservative management
