Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS), a form of bursitis, is inflammation of the trochanteric bursa, a part of the hip. This bursa is at the top, outer side of the femur, between the insertion of the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus muscles into the greater trochanter of the femur and the femoral shaft. It has the function, in common ...
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy is used as a second line measure to treat tennis elbow, [9] [10] shoulder rotator cuff pain, [11] [12] Achilles tendinitis, [13] [14] plantar fasciitis, [15] [16] and greater trochanteric pain syndrome. [17] ESWT is also used to promote bone healing and treat bone necrosis. [18]
The hip arthroscope may also be used to treat other conditions, which are outside the hip joint capsule. These include greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS), snapping iliotibial band, [19] piriformis syndrome, deep gluteal syndrome [20] and ischiofemoral impingement. Although the majority of these are newly described techniques, the results ...
Greater trochanteric avulsion. Fracture, (or non-union) of the femoral neck. Coxa Vara (the angle between the femoral neck head and shaft is less than 120 degrees). Damage to the hip joint (fulcrum) - Chronic or Developmental Hip Dislocation/Dysplasia Osteonecrosis. Legg-Calve-Perthes disease. Developmental dysplasia. Chronic infection.
Hawkins–Kennedy test: a positive test indicates shoulder impingement syndrome; Empty beer can test: a positive test indicates rotator cuff tear, specifically, supraspinatus muscle tear; Drop arm test: a positive test indicates a supraspinatus tear; External Rotation test: a positive test indicates an infraspinatus or teres minor tear; Lift ...
Arthroscopy is commonly used for treatment of diseases of the shoulder including subacromial impingement, acromioclavicular osteoarthritis, rotator cuff tears, frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), chronic tendonitis, removal of loose bodies and partial tears of the long biceps tendon, SLAP lesions and shoulder instability. The most common ...
