Importance: Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) is a chronic condition commonly defined as pain in the lateral hip joint that can be severely limiting to activities of daily living, sleep, and overall quality of life. It encompasses numerous disease states causing pain in the region of the greater trochanter of the femur. Non-invasive management approaches of GTPS include corticosteroid injections and physiotherapy, preferred as first-line interventions prior to surgical interventions.
