• [Purpose] Trochanteric bursitis is a disease for which there are no effectivestandardized therapy protocols. Very often pain persists in spite of applying alltherapeutic treatments. The purpose of this study was to determine whether treatment oftrochanteric bursitis with a local injection of bicomponent corticosteroid and 2%lidocaine would improve patients’ conditions and relieve pain symptoms in the trochantericarea. [Subjects and Methods] A retrospective observational study was conducted of 2,217patients in a 6 year follow-up period at the Special Hospital “Agens”, Mataruska Banja,Serbia. [Results] Of 2,217 examined patients, 58 (2.6%) patients were found to suffer fromtrochanteritis associated with low back pain, and 157 (7%) were found to suffer fromtrochanteric pains without low back pains. Local corticosteroid therapy followed byphysical therapy was effective in 77 (49%) of these patients, and only corticosteroidinjection in 61 (39%) patients. A single injection was given to 47 (29.9%) of thepatients. Two injections were given to 9 (5.7%) patients, and from 3 to 5 injections weregiven repeatedly every 4–6 weeks to 7 (4.5%) patients. [Conclusion] For most patients,local injections of corticosteroids with lidocaine alone or followed by physical therapygave satisfactory results.
