Technical note describes a new tendon repair method for high-grade abductor tears, suggesting improved healing.
This technical note describes a knotless trans‐tendon proximal‐pulley repair with distal suture‐bridge fixation and bioinductive collagen patch augmentation for high‐grade partial gluteus medius and minimus tears. The technique preserves intact tendon fibers, restores broad footprint compression, and supports biologic healing through a resorbable collagen scaffold. Detailed steps emphasize anatomic anchor placement, controlled tensioning, and efficient suture management to improve construct reliability. This combined mechanical and biologic augmentation offers a promising option for enhancing tendon healing and optimizing outcomes in patients with degenerative high‐grade partial‐thickness abductor tears.
