Does Strengthening The Gluteus Medius Prevent Injuries?

Description
The gluteus medius has multiple actions- hip abduction, hip internal rotation, hip external rotation, and single leg stability to prevent hip drop. Most runners have heard of the gluteus medius because social media told them to strengthen it or they have learned about it in previous PT.
The gluteus medius is an important muscle to run stronger and stabilize the hip and knee, but does it prevent injuries? Specifically if we strengthen into hip abduction?
