We report a case of postoperative fracture of the right femoral tuberosity with a resultant pain in the lateral part of the right hip experienced at the start of walking. During steady-state gait, right pelvic rotation with medial rotation of the right hip occurred in the right stance phase of the patient. However, at gait initiation, medial rotation of the right hip was limited. We focused on and treated the anterior fibers of the right gluteus medius muscles, which are responsible for internal hip rotation. Post treatment, the patient reported an improvement in the pain felt at gait initiation, an improvement in the medial rotation of the right hip during the right stance phase, and an improvement in walking stability.
