title: Association between trochanteric bursitis, osteoarthrosis and total hip arthroplasty.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  this was an epidemiological study on trochanteric bursitis at the time of performing total hip arthroplasty.
  
  
  METHODS
  sixty-two sequential patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty due to osteoarthrosis, without any previous history of trochanteric bursitis, were evaluated. The bursas were collected and evaluated histologically.
  
  
  RESULTS
  there were 35 female patients (56.5%) and 27 male patients (43.5%), with a mean age of 65 years (±11). Trochanteric bursitis was conformed histologically in nine patients (14.5%), of whom six were female (66.7%) and three were male (33.3%).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  14.5% of the bursas analyzed presented inflammation at the time that the primary total hip arthroplasty due to osteoarthrosis was performed, and the majority of the cases of bursitis were detected in female patients.
