Peritrochanteric Endoscopy

Abstract

Over the last decade, there have been significant advances in endoscopic techniques for peritrochanteric disorders of the hip. Endoscopic repair of gluteus medius and minimus tears has demonstrated good to excellent results in most patients who meet surgical indications with extremely low complication rates. Treatment of coxa saltans and other peritrochanteric disorders are also described, though the literature lacks sufficient evidence to guide treatment. As our understanding of peritrochanteric disorders evolves, endoscopic intervention will continue to progress with the development of improved technology to treat these disorders and ensure good outcomes.

Keywords: Coxa saltans; Gluteal tears; Trochanteric bursitis.
