The impact of bursa repair and steroid injection on lateral trochanteric pain following total hip arthroplasty: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT: Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of preserving and repairing the bursal tissue-rather than excising it-during total hip arthroplasty (THA), and to assess the additional e!ect of administering a steroid injection into the repaired bursa. Methods: Patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) via a posterior approach were retrospectively reviewed and divided into three groups based on the intraoperative bursal tissue management technique. The first group (PB) included patients who received an intraoperative injection of corticosteroid (40 mg methylprednisolone) and local anesthetic (bupivacaine 5 mg/mL) into the pre- served bursa. The second group (BR) consisted of patients who underwent bursal repair without injection. The third group (BE) comprised patien
