Primary subacute osteomyelitis of the greater trochanter.
Primary subacute osteomyelitis is difficult to diagnose, because of its insidious onset, mild symptoms, lack of a systemic reaction, and similarity with tumoral conditions. This condition is seen mostly in the epiphysis or metaphysis of tibia. Although it has been reported at various bones, its occurrence in the greater trochanter is rare. We describe two patients, 4 and 14 years old, with mild...
متن کاملTuberculous bursitis of the greater trochanter mimicking ankylosing spondylitis.
Tuberculous trochanteric bursitis (TTB) is a rare condition that accounts for 1% of musculoskeletal tuberculosis cases. Extrapulmonary TB is usually diagnosed late because of reduced diagnostic suspicion, particularly in the absence of signs of systemic infection. Herein, we report a case of right hip pain that was misdiagnosed as ankylosing spondylitis. The patient had a history of inflammator...

متن کاملThe blood supply of the greater trochanter.
We perfused 16 human femora with a 50% barium sulphate suspension and studied the intra-osseous vessels by microfocal radiography and histology. There were few anastomoses between the vessels of the greater trochanter and those of the adjacent cancellous bone of the shaft. Ischaemia of the trochanter may contribute to nonunion after trochanteric osteotomy.
متن کاملDistal transfer of the greater trochanter.
After congenital dislocation of the hip, Perthes' disease and some other conditions, the femoral neck may be short and the greater trochanter in a relatively proximal position. Distal transfer of the greater trochanter is an effective and relatively simple operation to correct this deformity. We have reviewed 26 patients (27 hips) at a mean follow-up of eight years. Pain relief and improvement ...
