Greater Trochanter Pain Syndrome Antoni Morral Greater trochanteric pain syndrome Trochanteric pain syndrome or trochanteric bursitis is a common regional pain syndrome. The incidence of GTPS: 1.8 patients per 1000 per year. The prevalence is higher in females than males (rate 4:1) Segal NA, Felson DT, Torner JC, Zhu Y, Curtis JR, Niu J, Nevitt MC; Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study Group.

CONCLUSION: The effectiveness of the various treatment modalities needs to be tested in carefully conducted randomized controlled trials. Repetitive low-energy radial shock wave therapy and home training approach provide beneficial effect over months, with almost 80% success rate at 15 months.

Each patient received 1 low-energy treatment. N= 66 Conclusion: Shock wave therapy is an effective treatment for greater trochanteric pain syndrome. Study Design: Case control study; Level of evidence, 3. Furia JP, Rompe JD, Maffulli N. Low-energy extracorporeal shock wave therapy as a treatment for greater trochanteric pain syndrome. Am J Sports Med. 2009 Sep;37(9):1806-13. Hypothesis: The null hypothesis was that local corticosteroid injection, home training, and repetitive low-energy shock wave therapy produce equivalent outcomes 4 months from baseline. Study Design: Quasi-randomized clinical trial; Level of evidence, 2. Methods: 229 patients with unilateral greater trochanter pain syndrome were assigned to: 1.- A home training program, 77 patients. 2.- A single local corticosteroid injection (25 mg prednisolone), 76 patients. 3.- A repetitive low-energy radial shock wave treatment. 76 patients. INCLUSION CRITERIA • Local tenderness on palpation of the area of the greater trochanter • Pain located anterior, lateral, or posterior to the greater trochanter for more than 6 months • Pain while lying on the affected site • Positive resisted rotation test Lequesne et al. 2008; Arthritis & Rheumatism 59:241 Lequesne et al. 2008; Arthritis & Rheumatism 59:241 Segal et al. 2007; Arch Phys Med Rehabil 88:988 Segal et al. 2008; Arthritis Res Ther 10: R62 EXCLUSION CRITERIA • History of acute trauma. Acute low back pain. • Presence of signs and symptoms of another cause of regional hip pain, such as dysplasia, deformities, sciatica. Bilateral GTPS. • Previous injection of the trochanteric area during the preceding 6 months. • Previous spinal or hip surgery.Local infection to the hip joint region. • Blood coagulation disorders or use of anticoagulant Medication . • Any known kind of vascular, neurologic, or neoplastic comorbidity. Eligible Patients (n= 229) Home Training Program (n= 76) Corticosteroid Injection (n= 75) Shock Wave Therapy (n= 78) Follow-Up 4 Months (n= 71) Follow-Up 4 Months (n= 69) Follow-Up 4 Months (n=73) Subjects from the various groups did not differ clinically significantly regarding their baseline characteristics (all P > .05). Home training program All exercises were to be performed twice a day, 7 days a week, for 12 weeks. GROUP 2: CORTICOSTEROID INJECTION Position of Patient. The patient should be in the lateral recumbent position with the affected side up. For the patient’s comfort and stabilization, the hip is flexed 30 to 50 degrees and the knee is flexed 60 to 90 degrees. Palpation of Landmarks. The greater trochanter is identified by palpating the femur from the mid-shaft proximally until the area of bony protrusion is reached. The injection site is the point of maximal tenderness or swelling. Approach and Needle Entry. At the area most tender or swollen to palpation in the region of the greater trochanter, a 22- or 25-gauge, one and one-half–inch needle is inserted perpendicular to the skin. In very obese patients, a longer needle may be required. The needle should be inserted directly down to bone and then withdrawn two to three millimeters before injecting.

Group 3: Radial Shock Wave Therapy The patients were treated in 3 sessions (at interval of one week) with 2000 impulses per session. Energy flux density: 0.12 mJ/mm2.(3 bar) Frequency: 8 Hz Device used: Swiss Dolor Clast (EMS) Subjects underwent outcome assessments at baseline and at 1, 4, and 15 months. Primary outcome measures were degree of recovery, measured on a 6-point Likert scale (subjects with rating completely recovered or much improved were rated as treatment success), and severity of pain over the past week (VAS 0-10 points) Likert scale 1. “completely recovered” 2. “much improved” 3. “somewhat improved”, 4. “same” 5. “worse” 6. “much worse” “completely recovered” or “much improved” were counted as successes.

Both corticosteroid injection and home training were significantly less successful than was shock wave therapy at 4-month follow-up. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Brinks A, van Rijn RM, Willemsen SP, Bohnen AM, Verhaar JA, Koes BW, Bierma-Zeinstra SM.

Players with dorsiflexion range less than 36.5° had a risk of 18.5% to 29.4% of developing PT within a year, as compared with 1.8% to 2.1% for players with dorsiflexion range greater than 36.5°. Limbs with a history of 2 or more ankle sprains had a slightly less mean ankle dorsiflexion range compared to those with 0 or 1 sprain (mean difference, -1.5° to -2.5°), although this was only statistically significant for nondominant legs. aaaaaaaaaaaa Backman LJ, Danielson P.

CONCLUSIONS: The current literature is complicated by a lack of standardization of study protocols, platelet-separation techniques, and outcome measures. As a result, there is uncertainty about the evidence to support the increasing clinical use of platelet-rich plasma and autologous blood concentrates as a treatment modality for orthopaedic bone and soft-tissue injuries.
