Pain syndrome of the greater trochanter of myofascial origin: a study of two cases
Keywords:
pain syndrome, great trochanter, trochanteric bursitis, myofascial pain syndrome.Abstract
It is relatively frequent the diagnostic confusion, in the case of trochanteric pain, between the en¬
ity known as great trochanteric pain syndrome, frequently caused by the inflammation of the tro¬
hanteric bursa, and the myofascial syndrome caused by trigger points of some muscles as such: qua-dratus lumborum, gluteal muscles, piriformis, tensor fasciae latae or vastus lateralis.
This study shows two clinical cases with such mistake in the diagnostic and its evolution after a co¬
rect evaluation of the patients, considering the differential diagnostic.
The difference in the recuperation time, when the myofascial pain is identified correctly as the ori¬
in of the problem, shows us the need of consider this cause in the exploration of the trochanteric syndrome.
