Low back pain improves after surgery for lesser trochanteric-ischial impingement
Arthroscopy Jan 20, 2021
Hatem M, et al. - In this study, the effects of surgery for lesser trochanteric-ischial impingement (LTI) on low back pain were explored. Researchers examined records of patients with LTI who had undergone endoscopic partial resection of the lesser trochanter (LT) between May of 2017 and February of 2019. Individuals were evaluated before a surgery and at the most recent follow-up with the modified Harris hip score and Oswestry disability index for the lumbar spine. The study included a total of 30 patients (31 hips). This study’s findings demonstrate that a decrease in low back pain above the minimal clinically important difference is observed in 2 out of 3 patients after partial resection of the LT.
