Is gluteal contracture syndrome a minor surgery

In most cases, surgery for gluteal contracture syndrome is minor. Correction of this type of deformity is done by localized cutting or lengthening of the spastic muscle strips. This is because the spastic muscle is closer to the body surface and is easier to expose. For the reasons mentioned above, the surgical procedures for these deformities are not technically difficult and are minor. However, in some cases where the deformity is very severe, a more major surgery is required, such as adjusting the spastic muscles with a corresponding displacement of the muscle stops, or doing osteotomy orthopedic surgery on the femur, pelvis, and relatively large bones. Only through simultaneous bone and soft tissue related orthopedics can severe lower limb deformities be improved. Patients with gluteal contracture syndrome need to be treated early, and early treatment results in less difficult surgery and better correction. Once a severe deformity has developed before surgery, the difficulty of surgery increases and the orthopedic results are not always good.
