The technique of a gluteus maximus transfer represents a method for the treatment of chronic abductor deficiencies and improves abduction function as well as the gait pattern in short-term follow-ups. Fifteen patients (mean age at time of surgery 62 years) had after a mean follow-up of 2.5 years. The modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) improved from 48 points preoperatively to 60 points at follow-up. Preoperatively, 100% had a positive Trendelenburg sign; at follow-up, this was about 50%.
