Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) presents a complex challenge in orthopedic and sports medicine, significantly impacting individuals, especially women, due to distinctive pelvic biomechanics and hormonal influences. This complex condition is influenced by interactions among various tissues under mechanical stresses and compasses conditions like greater trochanteric bursitis, abductor tendinopathy, and external snapping hip syndrome, leading to a broad spectrum of clinical presentations. Patients often report intermittent, debilitating pain across the lateral thigh and buttock, which can be aggravated by daily activities such as sitting, stair climbing, or engaging in high-impact exercises. Carefully assessing the patient’s history, examination, and focused diagnostic imaging are essential for an accurate diagnosis.This educational course discusses the complexities of GTPS and multifaceted nature—from clinical presentation, marked by pain and tenderness at the lateral aspect of the hip, to comprehensive management strategies. This activity equips healthcare professionals with an extensive toolkit covering conservative treatments, including physiotherapy and pharmacotherapy, alongside innovative interventions like platelet-rich plasma injections and discussing surgical options for cases that persist despite conventional therapies. Emphasizing an interprofessional team approach, the course highlights the importance of collaboration among healthcare professionals, from physicians to physical therapists, in developing effective patient care plans.
