I also am interested to know what benefits did the surgery give someone and how long and trying was the rehab. I too have fully avulsed and atrophied gluteus medius and minimus with fluid infiltration following a hip replacement August 2025. I hesitate to have surgery as the
Surgeon gives 20-70% chance of success but it is a big surgery with long, immmobilizing recovery. If successful I will still need a cane and have a limp. I do not have a lot of hip pain and my understanding is that relief from pain is the main benefit.
I have severe spinal arthritis, stenosis and extreme degenerative disc disease that is the source of my pain. With physio and targeted exercise I walk with a cane and minimal limp, do stairs and can walk for 40 minutes.
Thanks to everyone for sharing, it is invaluable.
