Trochanteric bursitis refers to an inflammation of the trochanteric bursa that typically develops over several weeks to months, causing pain and dysfunction. The condition is correlated with low back pain and degenerative disc disorders of the lumbar spine as well as with pelvic injuries and surgeries. As the lumbar and pelvic muscles become deconditioned, excessive stress is placed on the hip abductors, which are overloaded and cannot maintain proper pelvic balance during walking or standing. As a result, the loss of pelvic balance places excessive stress on the IT (ilio-tibial) band, which becomes tight and rubs on the greater trochanter. The increased pressure causes inflammation and thickening of the trochanteric bursa (bursitis), ultimately leading to pain and dysfunction and subsequently, if not treated promptly, to gluteus tendon tears.
