Définitions

anglais

Often associated with gluteus medius tendinitis, this condition is characterised by an inflammation of the bursae overlying the greater trochanter of the femur, most commonly the large multilocular bursa that lies between the gluteus medius and the tensor fascia latae. It is an overuse injury, predominantly seen in runners. Pain is often reproduced on stretch (hip flexion to 90 degrees with full lateral rotation of the hip) or contraction of the gluteus medius (resisted abduction of the hip).
