Course Description:

Lateral hip pain is commonly associated with greater trochanteric bursitis, also known as greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS), particularly when present in older individuals. While seemingly straightforward, a case of hip bursitis may be slow to respond to treatment, leaving clinicians scratching their heads as to why. This course presents guidelines for the differential diagnosis of GTPS in recreational athletes and seniors and describes typical progression of healing and evidence-based strategies for treatment.
