ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) is a term covering different conditions generating lateral hip pain. Recalcitrant cases may require surgery but there are only a few studies evaluating endoscopic treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of endoscopically treated GTPS at minimum two years postoperatively using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), and to assess the complication rate associated with endoscopic surgery.METHODS:
A total of 33 patients, mean age 43.2 years, 88% women, with a mean symptom duration of 3.5 years, were included in the study. A total of 36 operated hips were included. Pre- and at minimum two years postoperatively the patients completed questionnaires consisting of the International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-12) and the Hip Sports Activity scale (HSAS), the Visual analogue scale for overall hip function (VAS-OHF), the Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS), the EuroQoL-5 Dimension Questionnaire (EQ-5D) and the EQ-VAS. Complications were assessed using the Clavien-Dindo classification.RESULTS:
Median follow-up time was 24.5 months postoperatively. Statistically significant improvements were seen for the following PROMs (p < 0.05); iHOT-12 (36.3 vs 54.0), HAGOS different subscores (40.8 vs 59.0, 46.5 vs 62.6, 29.9 vs 53.1, 33.5 vs 51.4, 20.7 vs 41.4, 23.4 vs 43.3), EQ-VAS (55.9 vs 63.3) and EQ-5D (0.392 vs 0.648). VAS-OHF and HSAS did not reach significance. There was a 71% satisfaction rate with the surgery. Three Clavien-Dindo grade 1 and one grade 2 complications were registered postoperatively, with 41% of patients achieving PASS for iHOT-12 at two years follow-up.CONCLUSION:
Endoscopic surgery for greater trochanteric pain syndrome improved patient-reported outcomes and the procedure was associated with low risk of complications. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV.
