Abstract
Disorders of the peritrochanteric space include 3 well-described entities: external coxa saltans, greater trochanteric bursitis, and gluteus medius and/or minimus tears. These disorders have been previously grouped into the “greater trochanteric pain syndrome.” In most cases, conservative treatment consisting of local corticosteroid and anesthetic injections combined with a structured physical therapy program, provides a successful outcome. When conservative treatment fails, endoscopic trochanteric bursectomy, iliotibial band lengthening, and/or gluteus medius tendon repair can be performed.
