Recommendations in the rehabilitation of patients undergoing hip abductor tendon repair: a systematic literature search and evidence based rehabilitation protocol.

In combining the current published literature on rehabilitation after HAT repair and our own clinical experience in the surgical management and post-operative rehabilitation of these patients, we present an evidence-based, structured rehabilitation protocol to better assist surgeons and therapists in treating these patients. This rehabilitation protocol has been implemented for several years through our institutions with encouraging published clinical outcomes.
