Abstract

Endoscopic techniques accessing the peritrochanteric space have enabled more effective identification and treatment of disorders including external coxa saltans, trochanteric bursitis, and gluteus medius and minimus tears when conservative treatment has failed. A thorough understanding of the anatomy of the hip and proper placement of portals facilitates access to the peritrochanteric compartment and procedural ease. Outcome-based studies and improved surgical instrumentation will continue to allow more effective management of extra-articular hip pain.
