Systematic review and meta-analysis show allograft treatment improves clinical outcomes in chronic hip abductor insufficiency, suggesting a viable surgical option.
Allograft reconstruction is a salvage procedure for a challenging problem that provides satisfactory clinical outcomes in patients with chronic hip abductor insufficiency not amendable to primary repair. Complication and revision rates were notably low. Future research should compare the clinical outcomes of allograft reconstruction with other muscle transfer techniques to determine the optimal surgical treatment for chronic hip abductor deficiency.
