Lateral trochanteralgia: a new concept for an old concept.
Abstract
Statement of the problem: Certain medical terms used to describe different syndromes for musculoskeletal conditions, such as Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS), can be long and large enough to need an acronym.
Objective of the study: The objective of the article is to propose a new concept using neologism to describe a broad spectrum of causes of lateral hip pain previously known as GTPS.
Methodology and Theoretical orientation: A literature review of medical terms, including Greco-Latin words that are widely used to refer to different anatomical areas and specific symptomatology, was performed. Neologism was used to create new words that could be short, meaningful, and straightforward to describe the broad spectrum of causes of lateral hip pain.
Results: Medical terms facilitated scientific communication, standardized procedures, publications, and research. For this reason, Medical Terminology must be as short, simple, straightforward, and meaningful as possible. Greco – Latin words have been broadly used in medical terminology.
Discussion: The term used to describe lateral hip pain syndrome is the Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS), and it is sufficiently large to require an acronym. This term is used to describe a broad spectrum of conditions, including disorders of the tendons, muscles, bursa, bones, and other structures surrounding the greater trochanter. The most common chief complaint was pain (“algia”) over the lateral aspect of the hip. Lateral trochanteralgia is a shorter, simpler, clearer, and more meaningful term that can be used to describe this syndrome.
Conclusion: Lateral Trochanteralgia is a short, simple, clear, and meaningful term that describes a broad spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions that involve pain in the lateral aspect of the hip. The standardized and universal use of this neologism will favor all processes of medical publication, communications, and the digital search of related topics.
