AI Article Synopsis
- The hip rotator cuff tear is primarily seen in middle-aged individuals, often due to gradual degeneration, akin to shoulder rotator cuff tears.
- Acute tears in the hip abductor muscles, particularly in young people, are rare and typically caused by traumatic events.
- The authors share a unique case involving a young male with an acute traumatic tear in the gluteus medius and discuss treatment outcomes alongside a literature review.
Article Abstract
The hip rotator cuff tear usually develops in the middle-aged through gradual degenerative changes, similar to rotator cuff tears in the shoulder. An acute tear in the hip abductor by a traumatic event in young ages is very uncommon. The authors experienced an unusual case of an acute traumatic tear isolated to the gluteus medius in a young male; thus, we report the treatment results in this rare case with a review of the literature.
