Long-Term Effects of Untreated Gluteus Medius Injuries

What are the long-term effects of an untreated gluteus medius injury?

When gluteus medius tendon tears are left untreated, the gluteus medius tendon can retract and make future treatment more challenging. Addressing gluteus medius tendon injures early through conservative treatments or surgical intervention can help reduce the risk of this and improve hip joint function and overall quality of life.
