About Trochanteric Bursitis

Trochanteric bursitis is a painful inflammation of the bursa, a fluid-filled sac that cushions the bony point of the hip (greater trochanter). This condition, often called "hip bursitis," causes sharp or aching pain on the outside of the hip, thigh, or buttock, which can worsen with activities like walking, climbing stairs, or lying on the affected side. An orthopedic specialist typically manages this condition. Initial treatment is almost always non-surgical and includes rest, activity modification, physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and corticosteroid injections. A surgical procedure, known as a bursectomy, is considered only in rare, persistent cases where extensive conservative management has failed. This minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery involves removing the inflamed bursa to relieve pain and restore hip function.

Key Highlights

Primarily a non-surgical condition managed with conservative treatments.Surgical intervention (bursectomy) is rare and reserved for chronic, unresponsive cases.Minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques are typically used, leading to smaller incisions and less tissue disruption.Effective in relieving persistent lateral hip pain that limits daily activities.Can improve mobility and quality of life when conservative measures fail.

Who is this surgery for?

Chronic, severe pain on the outside of the hip (greater trochanteric pain) lasting more than 6-12 months.
Significant limitation in daily activities, sleep, or work due to hip pain.
Failure to respond to a comprehensive course of non-surgical treatments, including physical therapy, activity modification, NSAIDs, and at least one or two corticosteroid injections.
Confirmed diagnosis via physical exam and imaging (MRI or ultrasound) showing significant bursal inflammation or thickening.
To rule out or address other concurrent hip pathologies during the same procedure.

How to prepare

Complete a thorough pre-operative evaluation, including medical history, physical exam, and necessary blood tests.
Undergo imaging studies like an MRI or ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis and surgical plan.
Discuss all current medications with the surgeon; you may need to stop certain drugs like blood thinners several days before surgery.
Arrange for assistance at home for the first few days post-surgery for tasks like driving and chores.
Follow fasting instructions (typically no food or drink after midnight) before the procedure if general anesthesia is planned.

Risks & possible complications

General surgical risks: Infection, bleeding, or adverse reaction to anesthesia.
Nerve or blood vessel damage near the surgical site, potentially causing numbness, weakness, or continued pain.
Recurrence of bursitis or incomplete pain relief.
Stiffness in the hip joint.
Rare complications like deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or heterotopic ossification (abnormal bone growth).

Recovery & hospital stay

Immediate post-op: Use crutches for a few days to limit weight-bearing on the operated hip as advised.
Pain management with prescribed medications and ice application to reduce swelling.
Incision care: Keep the surgical site clean and dry, watching for signs of infection.
Begin a structured physical therapy program within 1-2 weeks to restore strength, flexibility, and normal gait.
Gradually return to normal activities; most patients resume light daily tasks within 1-2 weeks and more strenuous activities or sports in 4-8 weeks, following the surgeon's guidance.

Typical hospital stay: 0-1 days (Typically outpatient)
Expected recovery time: 4-8 weeks for full return to activities
