Abstract No. 330 Efficacy of Greater Trochanteric Bursitis Embolization in Patients Refractory to Conversative Therapy

Greater Trochanteric Bursitis (GTB) is a leading cause of greater trochanteric pain syndrome and is marked by inflammation of the greater trochanteric bursa, situated between the greater trochanter and the iliotibial band. This inflammatory process is often a result of repetitive stress or trauma to the area. The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of greater trochanteric bursitis embolization (GTBE) in patients with greater trochanteric bursitis who are unresponsive to conservative treatments.
