Study Notes
Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome
- Pain localized to the outer aspect of the hip
- Pain worsens with prolonged walking, climbing stairs, lying on the affected or opposite side
- Difficulty starting to walk, or initiating gait, can cause pain
- Common conditions include trochanteric bursitis and external snapping hip
Trochanteric Bursitis
- Inflammation of the bursal sac
- Tenderness to touch, swelling, and warmth
- Treatment includes rest, ice, NSAIDs, and physical therapy (stretching and strengthening)
Trochanteric Bursitis - Etiology
- Common in active individuals
- Inflammation of trochanteric bursae caused by repetitive friction and compression from the iliotibial (IT) band
- Symptoms: inflammation, pain when lying on the affected side, increased pain with activity, relief with rest
- Treatment: manage pain and inflammation, avoid aggravating activities, stretching, strengthen abductor muscles, injections
Other
- Ischial bursitis can occur in cyclists
Muscle Strains
- Groin or adductor strains are the most common type
- The iliopsoas, adductors, and hamstrings are commonly affected
- Of the adductors, the adductor longus is most commonly injured
- Associated with poor conditioning, fatigue, overloading, and muscle imbalances
- Injuries involve the musculotendinous unit, which includes muscles, tendons, and their attachments to bone
- Classified as Grades I, II, and III
- Symptoms include stabbing pain, edema or bruising after injury, pain with passive abduction and resisted adduction, and muscle guarding
