Introduction

Trochanteric bursitis is described as pain over the lateral side of the hip and thigh. The usual treatment is rest, administration of NSAIDs and injection of local anaesthetic and corticosteroid. Occasionally it is resistant to these measures.

Background

Whilst performing an ablation of the trochanteric bursa we noticed that the fascia lata looked particularly tight. Therefore a z-plasty of the fascia lata was performed.
