Is a hip bursa ever removed if all treatments fail? lateral hip pain accompanied by intermittent groin pain. mra clear, x-ray clear, pt no help.

See details: Groin pain is not related to a hip bursitis. A bursitis should be apparent on an MRI. You likely have another reason for your hip pain. See a rheumatologist.

Yes : Yes. If the pain is clearly coming from the bursa, and nonoperative care has failed, the bursa can be removed in a procedure known as a bursectomy.

Before any surgery..: Without knowing the specifics, depending on when you feel the pain. If the pain is felt while ambulating, then a structural problem should be considered. A limb length discrepancy can cause such a condition.
