The Kocher criteria are a tool useful in the differentiation of septic arthritis from transient synovitis in the child with a painful hip. [1] They are named for Mininder S. Kocher, an orthopaedic surgeon at Boston Children's Hospital and Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at Harvard Medical School.

Initial treatment typically includes antibiotics such as vancomycin, ceftriaxone or ceftazidime. [2] Surgery in the form of joint drainage is the gold standard management in large joints like the hip and shoulder. [2] [5] [8] Without early treatment, long-term joint problems may occur, such as irreversible joint destruction and dislocation. [2]
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.
A multidisciplinary approach, supplementing surgery or other treatments, can also improve outcomes in cases of recurrent TGCT. [25] In the late 2010s, treatment with CSF1R inhibitors emerged as an option [26] that may help improve functionality for patients with recurrent TGCT or TGCT that is not easily managed by surgery.
