Popis: Abstract Background Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) refers to pain and tenderness over the greater trochanter. It is a common entity of lateral hip pain that is usually related to the overuse or small injuries of the gluteus medius or minimus tendons and their surrounding bursae. MRI is the favored modality for evaluation of the hip region disorders. Treatment options ranges from conservative to surgical treatment. Results Trochanteric (sub-gluteal maximus) bursal fluid was the most common finding found in 55 hips (73%), followed by gluteal tendinosis (64%) and partial thickness gluteal tendon tear (29%). Full thickness tear of the gluteal tendons occurred in 10 hips (13%). The relation between gluteal tendinosis and greater trochanteric bursal fluid was statistically significant (P
