Thank you. You are being very helpful. I will research your shared sites. What is important to know is just how many successful gl maximus transfers a surgeon has performed. It's a question that needs to be asked. I'll be back to you later. I do think that a national blog ought to be established and readily available. This is a surgical option that is not widely discussed and/or offered. And I am amazed at the number of patients who experience gl tears and the limited amount of treatment centers/surgeons available. I would suggest that if a patient has been treated for bursitis and there is no relief over a reasonable time period then an MRI is mandatory. Because the diagnosis more times than not is a gluteus tear. The health sections of large newspapers need to alert patients with a bursitis diagnosis that maybe just maybe the diagnosis is not bursitis but a full-thickness gluteus medius tear with fatty infiltration and atrophy.....
