Prophylaxis
The development of inflammation of the greater trochanter can often be prevented by following simple rules of conduct. One of the most important factors in prevention is to avoid prolonged, uniform movements that place excessive stress on the joints. In addition, an incorrect posture of the body axis during sports should be urgently avoided. In particular, regular stretching and warming of the tendons of the hip muscles is an effective way of preventing inflammation of the greater trochanteric region.
Prognosis
The prognosis for inflammation of the greater trochanter is generally very good. Although the course of this inflammatory disease and thus the painful intervals can be very long, the inflammatory processes can usually be treated with relatively simple means. In order to optimize the healing process and to prevent a new inflammation, however, it is absolutely necessary to get to the bottom of the exact cause of the development of this disease. Only a treatment that is precisely tailored to the causal problem can prevent the inflammatory processes in the long term and thus ensure a good prognosis.
