Bursoscopy of the trochanteric bursa
1Sports, Orthopedic and Rehabilitation, Menlo Park, California, USA.
Summary
Bursoscopy and bursectomy effectively treated severe trochanteric bursitis in a single patient. This surgical approach offers a successful solution for refractory hip pain.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Musculoskeletal Disorders
Background:
- Trochanteric bursitis is a common cause of hip pain.
- Severe and refractory cases pose treatment challenges.
Observation:
- This report details two cases in one patient with severe, refractory trochanteric bursitis.
- The patient experienced significant hip pain and limited mobility.
Findings:
- Successful treatment was achieved using bursoscopy and bursectomy.
- The surgical technique involved minimally invasive visualization and removal of the inflamed bursa.
Implications:
- Bursoscopy and bursectomy represent a viable surgical option for refractory trochanteric bursitis.
- This approach may improve patient outcomes and quality of life.

01:23Knee Joint
The knee joint is the most complicated joint in the body. It consists of three articulations– two tibiofemoral and one patellofemoral. As is characteristic of synovial joints, the knee joint has a thin articular capsule that partially surrounds this joint cavity. Additionally, several ligaments, muscles, and cartilaginous structures support the movement of the knee.
A total of seven ligaments support the knee joint. The patellar ligament, which is also attached to the quadriceps femoris group...

01:31Muscles that Move the Arm
Nine muscles are involved in arm movements. Two of these, the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi, originate from the axial skeleton and are called axial muscles. The other seven originate from the scapula and are called the scapular muscles.
The pectoralis major has two origins. Its clavicular head originates on the medial half of the clavicle. In contrast, the sternocostal head originates on the costal cartilages of ribs 1-6, the sternum, and the aponeurosis of the external oblique of the...

01:20Muscles that Move the Thigh
The thigh's motion is primarily governed by muscles originating in the pelvic girdle and inserted into the femur. One crucial muscle, the iliopsoas, is a combination of the psoas major and the iliacus muscles, sharing a common insertion point on the lesser trochanter of the femur.
Three other significant muscles are the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus. The gluteus maximus originates from the posterior surface of the ilium, sacrum, and coccyx, and the thoracolumbar fascia...
