rarely a primary disorder

18
Q

bursitis: occurs secondary to

A
  • sprains

19
Q

bursitis: key to diagnosis

A

palpation

20

trochanteric bursitis: special testing

A

(+) Ober

26
Q

trochanteric bursitis: these can be diagnostic

A

injections

27
Q

trochanteric bursitis: radiographs may reveal

A

calcification of bursa

28

A

no

31
Q

greater trochanteric pain syndrome: inflammation

A

no s/s of inflammation

32
Q

greater trochanteric pain syndrome: etiology

A

unknown - high correlation with glute med tears

33
Q

greater trochanteric pain syndrome: ddx

A
  • LBP
  • femoral neural tension
  • fibromyalgia
  • DJD
  • bursitis
  • insufficiency fx of proximal femur
  • trauma
  • AVN
  • glute med/min tendon tears
34
Q

greater trochanteric pain syndrome: more common in males/females

A

females

35
Q

greater trochanteric pain syndrome: correlated with

A

Q

greater trochanteric pain syndrome: correlated with hip IR ROM?

A

no

38
Q

greater trochanteric pain syndrome: imaging

A
