Conditions associated with greater trochanteric pain syndrome

GTPS is frequently associated with the following conditions:

  • hip arthritis - on the affected side and/or on unaffected side
  • lumbar spine conditions - such as degenerative osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disease
  • low back pain
  • rheumatoid arthritis (1)
  • osteoarthritis of the knee (2)
  • radiculopathy or other neurologic sequelae
  • fibromyalgia

Although some suggest that leg length inequality (LLI) contributes to trochanteric pain by adding stress to the area, a study involving 1,430 subjects found no association between GTPS and LLI (3).
