Greater trochanteric pain syndrome?

Everyone wants to be healthy and does not want to be sick. Being sick will not only affect one's physical health, but also cause psychological pressure. Pain in the greater trochanter of the femur is a very common phenomenon in daily life. Generally, most of the causes of this phenomenon are caused by strenuous exercise. However, there is no need to worry too much. Generally, it will recover slowly. It is best to pay more attention to rest before recovery.

What causes greater trochanter percussion pain? What are the diseases that cause greater trochanter percussion pain?

(I) Clear trauma history

1. Among the causes of trauma, femoral neck fracture is the most significant. It is a relatively serious injury. After the injury, most patients need to undergo examination, X-rays, traction, reduction, fixation, and surgical treatment, so the medical history is clear, but they should also ask questions and recall. The patient can even clearly describe the cause and location of the injury, the course of treatment, etc., so it has a clear reference value for diagnosis.

2. Hip dislocation is also a relatively serious trauma. The patient will remember it clearly and can describe the injury and treatment in full, which is of reference value.

3. Other fractures In addition to the above-mentioned traumas, there are some other fractures. For example, in cases of intertrochanteric fracture, femoral head fracture, slipped capital femoral epiphysis, simple acetabular fracture, etc., further questioning is needed, and it is best to present the original examination and diagnostic data. This is not only necessary for diagnosis, but also for observing, summarizing cases, and conducting analytical research.

4. Hip sprains and contusions are relatively minor injuries that require more detailed prompts and inquiries. Because these injuries often do not attract the patient's attention and the memory of them is not deep or clear, repeated questioning is required to recall them.

(ii) The site of injury is clear. Most cases caused by trauma are unilateral femoral head injuries, and the disease must occur on the injured side. It is rare for the disease to occur on both sides. Unless there is a bilateral injury, bilateral necrosis may also occur, which is different from other causes.

(III) Recall of the treatment process: Patients who have suffered hip trauma must undergo systematic treatment. Such as whether traction, repeated reduction, surgery, etc. have been performed. The treatment effect is good or bad, such as whether the reduction is satisfactory, whether there is any unreduction, malunion, or whether the internal fixation device is still in the body. Both provide important materials for timely and correct diagnosis.
