"The term “greater trochanteric pain syndrome” is currently used to designate chronic lateral hip pain and tenderness over the greater trochanter associated with disorders in the peritrochanteric space. Greater trochanteric pain syndrome replaces the term “greater trochanteric bursitis.”"

"MRI is important in investigating the underlying cause of greater trochanteric pain syndrome by providing views of the greater trochanter and adjacent soft tissues, including the gluteus medius and minimus tendons, peritrochanteric bursae, and the lateral myofascial sheath of the hip. However, the correlation between MRI findings of structural damage and pain is weak to moderate; thus, MRI may reveal similar structural damage in both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients 1."
