Snapping hip syndromes have been treated with open surgery for many years. Recently, endoscopic techniques have been developed for treatment of snapping hip syndromes with results that are at least comparable if not better than those reported for open procedures. The greater trochanteric pain syndrome is well known by orthopedic surgeons. However, deep understanding of the pathologic conditions generating pain in the greater trochanteric region and endoscopic access to it has only recently been described. Although evidence regarding endoscopic techniques for the treatment of the greater trochanteric pain syndrome is mainly anecdotal, early published reports are encouraging.

Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) is a prevalent musculoskeletal condition characterised by lateral hip pain and reduced function. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections have gained attention as a potential treatment due to their regenerative properties. However, variability in PRP preparation methods and insufficient standardisation in the literature complicate the evaluation of its efficacy and reproducibility.

Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) is a common cause of hip pain and is often associated with chronic lower back pain and lower extremity osteoarthritis. Its diagnosis is clinical; however, imaging has been shown to aid in the differential diagnosis of challenging cases. Superb microvascular imaging (SMI) is a new technique that may be more effective than power Doppler ultrasonography (PDUS) in the detection of inflammation-related vascularity in patients.

Introduction: Dual mobility (DM) total hip replacement (THR) features an acetabular component with an unconstrained tripolar build which ensures a greater range of motion without provoking any dislocation.We report three cases with extremes of surgical misadventure where we carried out a revision arthroplasty with a DM cup. The causes of the failure of the primary arthroplasty were multifactorial, even individually, and ranged from instability due to component malposition, trochanteric fracture, intrapelvic prosthesis protrusion, etc.

Purpose: Following failed internal fixation of intertrochanteric fractures (FIF-ITF), the decision to use a long-stem or standard-stem femoral implant in hip arthroplasty is still debated. This study aimed to explore how the healing status of fractures after FIF-ITF failure affects the choice of femoral stem and clinical outcomes.
Methods: Our retrospective cohort study reviewed 105 cases of patients with FIF-ITF who underwent hip arthroplasty at three tertiary Grade A hospitals between December 2012 and December 2022.

Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) is one of the most prevalent causes of lateral hip pain. The incidence rate is as high as 1.8 patients per 1000 annually, with females predominantly affected.
