Percutaneous Ultrasound-Guided Tenotomy of the Iliotibial Band for Trochanteric Pain Syndrome: A Longitudinal Observational Study With One-Year Durability Results
2023
Overview
BACKGROUND: Upper lateral hip pain is a common complaint in adults and is referred to as greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) and is more prevalent among older women. This is a debilitating condition that could result in lower physical activity and quality of life, and higher unemployment rate. GTPS is a clinical diagnosis, and many cases improve with conservative medical management (CMM). However, there is still a gap between patients not responding to CMM and those who are not good surgical candidates. Thus, percutaneous ultrasound tenotomy (PUT) may be a valuable treatment option to limit this gap. OBJECTIVES: Demonstration of the one-year pain and functional outcomes, including sit to stand. SETTING: Academic tertiary care medical center. METHODS: Forty-eight consecutive patients with refractory trochanteric pain due to iliotibial band (ITB) tendinopathy. Fifty-six hips were treated; 8 patients underwent bilateral procedures. Electronic medical record review of consecutive patients who underwent ITB TENEX® was performed at Montefiore Medical Center from December 2019 to December 2021. Institutional guidelines recommended TENEX® for greater trochanteric pain refractory to conservative treatment and ultrasound (US) confirmed ITB tendinopathy (hypoechogenicity or thickened tendon > 6 mm). Pain level, as well as sit-to-stand, side-lying, and walking tolerance levels were evaluated at baseline preprocedure visit and one-year visit. Follow-up was performed by independent practitioners and corroborated by chart review. RESULTS: Numeric Rating Scale (NRS-11) improved by 4 points across all patients. Seventy percent of patients endorsed pain relief at one-year visit. Median preprocedure NRS-11 was 9. The reported median NRS-11at one year was 5 (Wilcoxon signed rank NRS-11 demonstrated a Z score of -6.042 with P < 0.001). One-year analysis among all patients revealed 57%, 78%, and 66% improvement in side-lying, sit-to-stand, and walking tolerance levels, respectively. LIMITATIONS: We believe that our results must be confirmed with a randomized control trial with a control arm and more patients included. CONCLUSIONS: PUT of the ITB using the TENEX® tissue remodeling device could be a safe and effective treatment for ITB tendinopathy-associated GTPS.
