ObjectiveTo explore the method and efficacy of self-made gluteus muscle contracture cutter in the treatment of gluteus muscle contracture. MethodsA 1.0-1.2 cm incision was made on the 2 cm posterior upper part of the greater trochanter, flexion, internal rotation and adduction hip joint, the self-made gluteus muscle contracture cutter was employed to cut off the contracture fascia by hand feeling through blindness. Functional training was guided after operation. The therapeutic effects of patients were observed. ResultsAll patients were followed up for 15 to 52 months. There were no complications for incision infection, hip joint instability, sciatic nerve injury in patients. The cross legs test, knees together and squat, gait, and exercises returned to normal. The Ober test and “frog legs” test was negative. The four evaluation results of this group of patients were all excellent. ConclusionEmploying self-made gluteus muscle contracture cutter in treating gluteus muscle contracture has small trauma, which is safe and feasible, easy to operate, and coincident to the minimally invasive theory, and thus it is of clinical promotion and application.
