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.
Tendinopathy is a type of tendon disorder that results in pain, swelling, and impaired function. [2] The pain is typically worse with movement. [2] It most commonly occurs around the shoulder (rotator cuff tendinitis, biceps tendinitis), elbow (tennis elbow, golfer's elbow), wrist, hip, knee (jumper's knee, popliteus tendinopathy), or ankle (Achilles tendinitis).
Gmax = gluteus maximus; Pm = piriformis muscle; sn = sciatic nerve; S = sacrum; H = hip bone. Injections are part of multi-modal therapy and can be therapeutic. [29] [2] They may be used with conservative treatments like physical therapy or after the failure of conservative treatments. Injections deliver medication directly to the piriformis ...

The various causes of non-discogenic sciatic nerve entrapment are categorized. [3] 2011 - Endoscopic surgery to decompress the sciatic nerve in the deep gluteal space. [34] 2015 - Definition, diagnosis, treatment, etc. proposed for deep gluteal syndrome. [1] [6]
Gluteus medius tendonitis, also known as Gluteal amnesia or colloquially as Dead Butt syndrome is a lifestyle disease that affects the gluteus maximus muscle characterized by a lack of muscle tone and strength in the buttocks, typically from excess sitting.
Medical treatment of the condition requires determination of the underlying pathology and tailoring therapy to the cause. The examiner may check muscle-tendon length and strength, perform joint mobility testing, and palpate the affected hip over the greater trochanter for lateral symptoms during an activity such as walking.
Trendelenburg's sign is found in people with weak or paralyzed abductor muscles of the hip, namely gluteus medius and gluteus minimus. [1] It is named after the German surgeon Friedrich Trendelenburg. It is often incorrectly referenced as the Trendelenburg test which is a test for vascular insufficiency in the lower extremities.
