Has anyone had gluteus medius/minimus tendon repair with good outcome?

I just had a gluteal tendon repair of the piraformis, gluteal medium and minimus muscles. on Tuesday, the 11th. Discharged from hospital yesterday. On a walker with
pain but have pain meds. I think it’s a long recovery but I am looking for a good outcome. Tore these tendons back in December of 2025, so have been living with pain since then, but it’s only gotten worse over the last 6 months. Took a long time to find a doctor who would perform the surgery too as I am 73. Good luck to you.

@egray8666 Would you describe your corrective procedure as a gluteus medius/minimus transfer? And was it an MRI who diagnosed pain? Was what you experienced a full thickness tear with or without fatty infiltration or atrophy? Thank you for response.
