The influence of surgical trauma on gluteus minimus muscle in total hip arthroplasty (THA) and the impact on functional outcome has been hardly investigated up to now. Potential risks of minimus damage during the approach or femoral preparation is due to its attachment to the anterior facet of the greater trochanter. Possible trauma-associated functional deficits of minimus muscle may result in reduced abduction force or in an unstable hip joint. The aim of the present study was to assess the pre- and post-operative gluteus minimus muscle (tendon defects and fatty atrophy) in patient with anterolateral minimally invasive and modified lateral approach by means of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to investigate the associated impact on functional outcome.
