Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) groups several etiologies of lateral hip, buttock, and thigh pain. These etiologies include greater trochanteric bursitis, gluteal medius tendinopathy or tears, gluteal minimus tendinopathy or tears, and iliotibial band snapping. Patients may have coexisting bursitis and tendinopathy. While greater trochanteric bursitis is a self-limiting process, it can cause significant pain and functional impairment. Although conservative management with NSAIDs, activity modification, physical therapy, and weight reduction is often successful, corticosteroid injections of the trochanteric bursa are commonly performed to reduce pain and improve functionality. This activity will review the clinically relevant anatomy, indications, contraindications, technique, and complications associated with trochanteric bursa injections. The activity also highlights the role of the interprofessional team in optimizing outcomes for patients with greater trochanteric bursitis treated with intrabursal corticosteroid injection.
