Abduction and extension of the hip is reduced and painful in patients with coxarthrosis. Contracture of the pectineus and iliopsoas muscles restricts the abduction and extension of the hip, respectively. Pectineus myectomy and tenotomy of the iliopsoas muscle result in clinical improvements. This symptomatic therapy is relatively simple, with minimal invasion. Clinical results are satisfactory.
