Dr. Angie Fearon (e-mail, Google Scholar, Twitter) of the University of Canberra is interviewed by Dhinu Jayaseelan regarding a publication from BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders titled, “The natural history of greater trochanteric pain syndrome: an 11-year follow-up study.” This episode contains information that will be interesting for practitioners who want to improve their understanding of an understudied but ever-present diagnosis associated with clinical orthopaedics. Additionally, to find the LEAP study mentioned during the interview about exercise and education for GTPS use this link (Mellor et al 2018). Dr. Fearon also recommends checking out Ganderton et al 2017 (Title: Gluteal Loading Versus Sham Exercises to Improve Pain and Dysfunction in Postmenopausal Women with Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome: A Randomized Controlled Trial).
