Pseudo-radiculopathy in subacute trochanteric bursitis of the subgluteus maximus bursa

Does Ultrasound Correlate with Surgical or Histologic Findings in Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome? A Pilot Study

“…Authors report lateral thigh pain as the most common complaint [18,24,27,29,31,32,42], and pain on palpation of the greater trochanter [13,18,24,27,29,31,32,42]. Inconsistent findings for passive ROM have been reported; for example, Anderson [1] reported pain was variable and present in one or more of end range internal rotation, external rotation, abduction, and adduction.…”

Increased substance P expression in the trochanteric bursa of patients with greater trochanteric pain syndrome

“…GTPS is present in approximately 20-35% of people with low back pain. [2,3] High levels of disability have been reported in people with this condition [4,5].…”

Lateral Hip Pain: Findings From Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Clinical Examination

“…A variety of clinical tests have been described pertaining to the diagnosis of gluteal tendon pathology, trochanteric bursitis, or LHP in general. For example, it has been reported that palpation, 5,20,44,50,75,81 passive internal rotation, 5,49,81,84 or resisted hip joint abduction 5,6,43,44 may reproduce symptoms of LHP. In addition to standard procedures that examine range of movement or strength, other specialized tests such as Trendelenburg's, 11,42,62 Ober's, 15,53 or the Patrick-Faber 30,33,78,79 test may also be used.…”
