“…Despite limited epidemiological research, GTPS commonly affects post-menopausal women and the unilateral and bilateral prevalence of this condition is reported to be 15.0% and 8.5% respectively, in community-dwelling women between 50 and 79 years (Del Buono et al , 2012, Lievense et al , 2005. Clinically, these women complain of pain lying on their side, ascending and descending stairs, walking, and moving from a sitting to standing position (Collee et al , 1990, Gordon, 1961, Karpinski and Piggott, 1985, Lequesne et al , 2008, Schapira et al , 1986, Shbeeb et al , 1996, Spear and Lipscomb, 1952, Tortolani et al , 2002, Woodley, Nicholson, 2008.…”

“…Populational studies estimate its prevalence around 10-25% in industrialized countries (24)(25)(26) . In individuals with lumbar pain, the syndrome prevalence increases to 20-35% (27,28) . In the context of primary health care, its incidence is approximately 1.8:1,000 patients/ year (25) .…”

ResumoIliotibial band lesions constitute a potential source of discomfort and are frequently confounded with other conditions which cause pain on the lateral aspect of the hip, thigh and knee. Ultrasonography is usually regarded as a first-line imaging modality in the assessment of such conditions because of its excellent diagnostic accuracy, low cost and wide availability. The correct identification of the structure involved in the production of symptoms leads to an appropriate management and to a higher probability of resolution of the clinical complaint. The present article is aimed at reviewing the different sonographic presentations of iliotibial band syndromes.Keywords: Sonography; Iliotibial band; Iliotibial band friction syndrome.Lesões no trato iliotibial constituem potencial fonte de desconforto e são frequentemente confundidas com outras enfermidades causadoras de dor na face lateral do quadril, coxa e joelho. A ultrassonografia é reconhecida como um método de imagem de primeira linha na investigação destas alterações, em virtude da excelente capacidade diagnóstica, baixo custo e ampla disponibilidade. A correta identificação da estrutura geradora dos sintomas resulta em tratamento específico e maior probabilidade de resolução da queixa clínica. O objetivo deste artigo é revisar as diferentes apresentações ultrassonográficas de doença do trato iliotibial.Unitermos: Ultrassonografia; Trato iliotibial; Síndrome do trato iliotibial.

“…Today Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS), also known as trochanteric bursitis, is defined as tenderness to palpation over the greater trochanter with the patient in the sidelying position [2,3]. This regional pain syndrome often mimics pain generated from other sources, including, but not limited to myofascial pain, degenerative joint disease, and spinal pathology [4]; in fact, GTPS may be associated with myriad causes such as tendinitis, muscle tears, trigger points, iliotibial band disorders (ITB), and general or localized pathology in surrounding tissues [5,6]. The prevalence of GTPS in adults with musculoskeletal low back pain (LBP) has been reported to be 20% to 35% [7,8].…”

Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) is a common cause of lower extremity pain. This is frequently attributed to trochanteric bursitis and distension of the subgluteal bursae. Patients are suffering from pain radiating to the posterolateral aspect of the thigh, paraesthesiae in the legs, and tenderness over the iliotibial tract. Often the symptoms are mild, with the patient treating himself successfully through activity modification and other conservative measures. including relative rest, ice, compression, elevation, anti-inflammatory medication and treatment modalities such as ultrasound and electrical stimulation, combined with a structured rehabilitation program. Patients whose symptoms persist despite conservative therapy are likely to benefit from an injection of corticosteroid and anaesthetic into the inflamed bursa. More invasive surgical interventions have anecdotally been reported to provide pain relief when previous treatment modalities fail.In this article, we review the pathogenesis, common initial symptoms, diagnostic approach, and treatment options for trochanteric bursitis.
