Often associated with gluteus medius tendinitis, this condition is characterised by an inflammation of the bursae overlying the greater trochanter of the femur, most commonly the large multilocular bursa that lies between the gluteus medius and the tensor fascia latae. It is an overuse injury, predominantly seen in runners. Pain is often reproduced on stretch(hip flexion to 90 degrees with full lateral rotation of the hip) or contraction of the gluteus medius(resisted abduction of the hip).

CONT

A hip flexion deformity commonly occurs in diseases of the hip but is often overlooked. Unilateral flexion of the hip in the standing position reduces weight bearing on the involved side, and relaxes the joint capsule, causing less pain.... There is a hyperlordotic curve of the lumbar spine to compensate for lack of full hip extension.
