Abstract

Trochanteric bursitis is a common postoperative complication following total hip arthroplasty (THA), characterized by inflammation of the bursa located over the greater trochanter. This condition can lead to significant pain and functional impairment, adversely affecting patient recovery and quality of life. Identifying risk factors associated with the development of trochanteric bursitis post-THA is crucial for implementing preventive strategies and improving surgical outcomes. This study reviews the literature on the various risk factors for trochanteric bursitis following THA, including demographic, surgical, and clinical variables. Key factors identified include advanced age, female gender, obesity, pre-existing musculoskeletal disorders, and the surgical approach used during the procedure. Additionally, postoperative factors such as rehabilitation protocols and patient adherence to activity modification are discussed. Understanding these risk factors can help clinicians better predict and manage the incidence of trochanteric bursitis in patients undergoing THA. This abstract aims to highlight the importance of recognizing high-risk individuals to tailor postoperative care and improve overall patient outcomes in hip arthroplasty. Further research is needed to explore effective prevention strategies and long-term implications of this condition on hip surgery patients.
