@bluelizard I also have a full thickness near complete glute minimus tendon tear with fatty atrophyed minimus muscle because I’ve had this sense 2017 wasn’t found till 2025. Was told nothing could be done but there is a salvage surgery where they use a cadaver tendon and a Maximus muscle transfer. Post op surgery is grueling for about 6-12 weeks. I don’t know how much this surgery has been done each year but would love to hear if it’s worth having it done

@grandma71 I can only imagine grueling post-op from the surgery you describe. I'm not sure how I've torn these tendons; it's something that you can pinpoint an injury or trauma. I fear it's just wear and tear on my aging body. I've never been a girl for exercise, but had an active life growing up on a farm and even now manage my household in terms of shopping, cooking, laundry. Sadly I've given up gardening at this point - just too hard getting down and up.
