Summary

During total hip arthroplasty surgery, the trochanteric bursa is routinely excised. This anatomical structure, which functions as a soft tissue barrier, is generally recommended for removal as it facilitates the surgical approach. However, recent studies have suggested that the trochanteric bursa is an important soft tissue barrier and may protect against infections. The aim of this study is to evaluate the differences in infection rates, wound complications, deep gluteal syndrome presence, pain, and clinical scores within the first 90 days between patients in whom the trochanteric bursa was repaired and those in whom it was not, and to provide recommendations regarding bursal repair.

Conditions

  • Bursa; Tuberculous
  • Hip Bursitis
  • Deep Gluteal Syndrome
