Great trochanter bursitis vs sciatica, a diagnostic –anatomic trap: differential diagnosis and brief review of the literature

ConclusionsThe GTB is a common clinical entity in middle-aged women, which can escape from the physician in cases of incomplete medical history and clinical examination, leading to unnecessary imaging tests and treatment approaches, burdening both the patient and the health system. Early diagnosis of GTB may dramatically reduce cost, prevent unwanted and inappropriate imaging exams and treatment, and make the patient free of symptoms immediately.Graphical abstractThese slides can be retrieved under Electronic Supplementary Material.
