Abstract: Background/Objectives: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a condition affecting many joints, including the hip. The treatment of advanced hip osteoarthritis (HOA) involves total hip arthroplasty (THA). Atrophy of abductor muscles is often diagnosed in patients with HOA. This review presents a number of studies evaluating changes that occur in the gluteus medius (GMED) and tensor fasciae latae (TFL) as a result of HOA and THA. MyotonPRO is a portable and non-invasive device that allows for the assessment of muscle quality. This review aimed to collect studies assessing changes in GMED and TFL following HOA and THA and to determine whether MyotonPRO can be used for this assessment. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search of databases, including Google Scholar, Science Direct, and PubMed, for relevant articles published between 2012 and 2024. A total of 37 articles were included in our review. Qualified papers evaluated changes in the lower limb muscles, including TFL and GMED, as a result of HOA and THA using MyotonPRO and other methods. Results: In this article, we emphasize the influence of the tested muscles on HOA and the postoperative course after THA using MyotonPRO. We have shown that myotonPRO was used to assess muscle changes due to knee OA and GMED and TFL in other groups of patients. Conclusions: This is the first review of the literature to indicate a new direction of research using myotonPRO. The use of MyotonPRO will allow for the more detailed development of rehabilitation programs for patients with HOA and after THA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
