Abstract

Lateral hip pain and peritrochanteric disorders are a common cause of hip pain in athletes. The term greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) has been used over the years to describe a spectrum of conditions that cause lateral-sided hip pain, including tendinopathies and strains of the hip abductor complex, trochanteric bursitis, external snapping hip syndrome, and proximal iliotibial band syndrome. Diagnosis of these conditions may be challenging due to variability and sometimes overlap in their clinical presentations. Recent advancements in our understanding of pathomechanics, biomechanics, and anatomic relationships between bony structures and soft tissues in the hemipelvis have resulted in better treatments and more accurate diagnostic tools. In this chapter, we will review common peritrochanteric disorders and the current treatments and diagnostic modalities.
