Gluteal Tendinitis

The goal of this study is to determine if a newer tenotomy technique utilizing an ultrasound needle is more effective than the traditional tenotomy technique utilizing a simple hypodermic needle for gluteal tendinosis. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is pain from the gluteal tendinosis improved with either technique, and, if so, is there a difference in the improvement between techniques? 2. Is there an improvement in function for gluteal tendinosis, and, if so, is there a difference between techniques?

This prospective cohort trial will investigate a progressive exercise protocol and patient education for patients with hip abductor tendon pathology. The primary outcome is patient reported pain measured by the revised Copenhagen Hip And Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS), that will be conducted at baseline and at a 12 week follow-up.
