Objective: To investigate the MRI manifestations of greater trochanteric pain syndrome in order to improve the understanding of the disease. Methods: The MRI findings of 107 patients with greater trochanteric pain syndrome were analyzed retrospectively. Result: The main MRI findings of greater trochanteric pain syndrome were as follows: on fat suppression T2WI and PD FS images,①tendonitis and tenosynovitis,the former showed high signal intensity along the muscle and its tendon,the latter shows high signal intensity around the tendon sheath. ②tear of tendon,partial tear of tendon shows discontinuous linear high signal separation in gluteus tendon,complete tear of tendon showed continuous interruption of tendon in gluteus tendon .③trochanter bursitis showed extremely high signal intensity. ④local bone changes in the greater trochanter, which showed localized high signal intensity in the greater trochanter bone. ⑤The iliotibial band thickened showed messy signal.Conclusion: MRI examination, especially fat suppression T2WI and PD images, can clearly show the anatomical structures around the greater trochanter, tendons, joint capsule and the internal conditions of the lesions, which has important diagnostic value for greater trochanter pain syndrome. Combined with the clinical data of patients, a clear diagnosis can be made.
