Hip bursae. Bursae are small fluid-filled sacs that reduce friction between moving parts in your body's joints. Hip bursitis is inflammation or irritation of one or more of the bursae (shown in blue) in your hip.
Your hip joint is where your thigh bone (femur) connects to your pelvis. The pointed upper, outside edge of your femur is called the greater trochanter. Trochanteric bursitis happens when the bursa that covers your greater trochanter is damaged, inflamed or irritated.
Hip bursitis — an inflammation between your thighbone and nearby tendons — is commonly diagnosed when patients have pain on the outer side of the hip. However, several other conditions can cause similar pain, and require different treatments.
Bursitis is inflammation of the bursa. There are two major bursae in the hip that typically become irritated and inflamed. One bursa covers the bony point of the hip bone called the greater trochanter. Inflammation of this bursa is called trochanteric bursitis.
Trochanteric bursitis is swelling affecting the bursae of the hip. Bursitis does not only happen in the hip. It can also occur in the shoulder, knee, and elbow joints. Bursitis may be acute (short-lived) or chronic (long-lasting).
Hip bursitis results when the fluid-filled sac (bursa) near the hip becomes inflamed due to localized soft tissue trauma or strain. Symptoms include stiffness and pain around the hip joint. Hip bursitis can be treated with ice compresses, rest, and anti-inflammatory and pain medications.
Hip bursitis is the inflammation of a fluid-filled sac, or bursa, on the outside of the hip joint. Imaging exams can help determine if hip pain is from bursitis or something else, like arthritis. Unlike arthritis of the hip joint, which can require hip replacement surgery, hip bursitis often responds well to conservative treatments.
When that outside hip bursa gets inflamed, you have trochanteric bursitis, also known as greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS). It's a common condition, which is easily treatable.
Fortunately, treatment of hip bursitis is generally accomplished with some simple steps. Efforts to limit pressure directly on the bursa, alleviate inflammation, and restore normal movement to the hip joint will generally lead to resolution of symptoms.
Iliopsoas bursitis, also called hip bursitis, is inflammation of the iliopsoas bursa. This bursa is a large fluid-filled sac found under the iliopsoas muscle, which supports hip movement. The iliopsoas bursa provides cushion for tendons, ligaments, and muscles to prevent friction during movement.
