Changes of gluteus medius muscle in the adult patients with unilateral developmental dysplasia of the hip
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The gluteus medius muscle is essential for gait and hip stability. Changes that occur in the gluteus medius muscles in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) are not well understood. A better understanding of DDH rela...
