Endoscopic Treatment of Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome - A Case Series of 11 Patients.

Introduction: Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) includes patients with symptoms of peritrochanteric pain, gluteus medius/minimus tendinopathy, and external snapping hip. Non-operative treatment includes iliotibial band (ITB) stretching, gluteal exercises and cortisone injections. When surgery is indicated due to the failure of non-operative strategies, open Z-plasty at the level of the greater trochanter has been the traditional procedure.
