Abstract

Background: Hip abductor pathology is increasingly recognized as a contributor to impaired mobility and suboptimal outcomes following total hip arthroplasty (THA) and hemiarthroplasty. However, the prevalence and clinical significance of abductor disruption across fracture-related and elective indications remain unknown. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 67 patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty, hemiarthroplasty, or hip abductor repair between 2017 and 2023, identified using CPT codes from the AthenaOne healthcare system and Alpine Ortho Spine Clinic database. Results: Fracture patients were significantly older than elective total hip arthroplasty patients (76.8±8.2 versus 66.4±7.9 years, p
