Trochanteric Bursitis Excision
Trochanteric bursitis excision is a surgical procedure performed to treat trochanteric bursitis, which is the inflammation of the bursa located near the greater trochanter of the hip. The bursa is a small fluid-filled sac that acts as a cushion between the tendons and bones, reducing friction during movement.

Trochanteric Bursitis Excision
When conservative treatments such as rest, physical therapy, medication, or corticosteroid injections fail to provide relief from trochanteric bursitis, a surgical approach may be considered. Trochanteric bursitis excision involves the removal of the inflamed bursa to alleviate pain and restore normal hip function.

What to expect at the time of your surgery:
During the procedure, which is usually performed under general anesthesia, the surgeon makes an incision over the affected hip. The inflamed bursa is carefully identified and excised. In some cases, the surgeon may also address any associated underlying conditions, such as correcting tendon abnormalities or performing repairs if necessary. The incision is then closed with sutures, and a dressing or bandage is applied.
What to expect after your surgery:
Following the surgery, patients typically require a period of recovery and rehabilitation. This may involve physical therapy exercises to restore strength, flexibility, and range of motion in the hip joint. The exact recovery timeline can vary depending on the individual and the extent of the surgery, but most individuals can gradually return to normal activities within a few weeks to a few months.

Trochanteric Bursitis Excision FAQ
Trochanteric bursitis is the inflammation of the bursa located near the greater trochanter of the hip. The greater trochanter is a bony prominence on the side of the hip. Bursitis can cause pain and tenderness in the hip, especially during activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or lying on the affected side.
Trochanteric bursitis excision may be considered when conservative treatments such as rest, physical therapy, medications, or injections have failed to provide relief. If the pain and functional limitations persist and significantly affect a person’s quality of life, surgical intervention may be recommended.
Trochanteric bursitis excision is typically performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes an incision over the affected hip, identifies and removes the inflamed bursa, and may address any underlying conditions contributing to the bursitis. The incision is then closed with sutures, and a dressing or bandage is applied.
Recovery time can vary depending on the individual and the extent of the surgery. Generally, it takes several weeks to fully recover from trochanteric bursitis excision. Physical therapy exercises are often recommended to help restore strength, flexibility, and range of motion in the hip joint. It’s important to follow the surgeon’s post-operative instructions and attend follow-up appointments for proper healing and monitoring of the hip’s progress.
