Relationship between the Arthroscopic Findings and Pathology of Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome.
Acta Medica Okayama 2023 August
In recent publications on greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS), the pathology receiving the most attention has been gluteus medius muscle tendinous injury, and surgical techniques such as gluteus medius tendon repair and their outcomes for GTPS have been reported. In our department-related facilities, arthroscopic surgeries are routinely performed for the patients with recalcitrant GTPS. A total of 51 patients were diagnosed with GTPS. Surgical treatment was carried out 22 patients (24 joints; 4 males and 18 females; mean age at surgery of 52.0 years). Arthroscopic findings confirmed bursitis in all 24 joints. In all cases, debridement of the greater trochanter bursa provided rapid relief of greater trochanter pain. The Numerical Rating Scale showed significant improvement, from the preoperative mean of 7.8 (range, 6-10) to the postoperative day 7 mean of 1.6 (range, 0-3). The modified Harris Hip Score was significantly improved from the preoperative mean of 65.5 (range, 52.5-78.3) to the final follow-up (average 2.9 months) mean of 96.0 (range, 85.2-100). Fascial damage of the gluteus medius muscle was observed in 21 joints while only 2 patients had a gluteus medius tendinous injury. Greater trochanteric bursitis and fascia or muscle-fiber injury of the gluteus medius muscle are the most common pathologies in patients with lateral hip pain.
