What is the definition or description of: trochanteric bursectomy with iliotibial band release?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inflamed lat. hip: It is an inflammation of a sac(bursae) that is normally present to lubricate the motion between the muscles on the outside(lateral) area of your hip and the underlying prominent bone(trochanter). Treated with stretching exercises of the muscles, steroid injections. Rarely does it require surgery . Iliotibial band release has been used for relief as well as excision of the bursa.
