How Open Release of Gluteal Muscle Contracture (Complex/Recurrent) is performed
Open release is mostly used for those with a wide range, recurrence, or anatomical variation. The common practice is to directly separate the layers through a longer incision under anesthesia, identify and protect the nerves and blood vessels, and release the scarred muscle groups and fascia in segments, and correct the accompanying contracted structures when necessary. During the operation, hip movement is evaluated by traction test and hemostasis is thoroughly performed, and drainage can be placed. Postoperative focus is on monitoring pain, bleeding, and incision healing, and gradually restoring function under rehabilitation guidance. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
