Gluteal Tendinopathy is pain that emanates from the outside of your upper leg over your greater trochanter (see image 1). In the past this has also been termed ‘trochanteric bursitis’, ‘lateral hip pain’ or ‘greater trochanteric pain syndrome’. We now understand that irritation of the tendons known as Tendinopathy is likely to be the primary cause of the pain which has contributed to more targeted and optimal management.
