Dissection and release.....

[Guest guest]

Hi Gang,

I understand the dissection of the Gluteus Maximus lengthwise,

following the femur. But can anyone tell me where the

underlying " short rotators " are released? I am curious if they are

released near the trochanter, or at some medial point. Maybe one of

you Doctors knows how the complete release and reattachment game is

played. I feel a pain deep in the hip when I walk: it occurs as my

leg moves behind me during the step process. And the " clunk " is

still there. It feels like there is a rubber band in between the

acetabular cup and the femoral head....you know how rubber bands are

kinda rectangular, and if you rub them between your hands they kinda

go thunk- thunk....thunk-thunk....it's kinda like that. I wonder if

Dr. Amstutz lost his lucky rubber band from his wrist during my

procedure.

I really do have too much time on my hands...
