    Summary

    Corticosteroid injections effectively treat trochanteric bursitis, a chronic hip pain condition common in older women. Most patients experience significant relief, though some may relapse within two years.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Rheumatology
    • Sports Medicine

    Background:

    • Trochanteric bursitis is a common cause of hip pain, often presenting as a chronic condition.
    • The condition is frequently observed in older female populations and can coexist with other medical issues.
    • Clinical diagnosis is the primary method for identifying trochanteric bursitis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of corticosteroid injections for treating simple trochanteric bursitis.
    • To assess the long-term outcomes and relapse rates following treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective analysis of 36 patients diagnosed with simple trochanteric bursitis.
    • Evaluation of treatment response and follow-up data after corticosteroid injections.

    Main Results:

    • Excellent response was achieved in two-thirds of patients following one or two local corticosteroid injections.
    • The remaining patients showed improvement in their symptoms.
    • A relapse rate of approximately one-fourth was observed within a 2-year follow-up period.

    Conclusions:

    • Corticosteroid injections provide a highly effective treatment for trochanteric bursitis.
    • The condition should be considered in the differential diagnosis of hip pain due to its responsiveness to treatment.
