Pearls and Pitfalls of Partial Articular Gluteus Tendon Avulsion Repair

Pearls
 Identify partial articular gluteus tendon avulsion tears between the lateral footprint of the gluteus medius and the long head of the gluteus minimus.
 Use the bubble sign test to locate subtle tears.
Pitfalls
 Do not increase the tear size of the gluteus medius to access it from the bursal side.
