It involves tendinopathy or tears of the gluteus medius and minimus tendons, often misdiagnosed as trochanteric bursitis. Accurate diagnosis and management require thorough clinical assessment and diagnostic imaging.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This review examines the pathogenesis, clinical examination, and diagnostic tools like ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for GTPS. A narrative literature was conducted from May 2002 to February 2024 using PubMed. A total of 85 articles were reviewed, with 56 included, focusing on conservative and interventional treatments such as physical therapy, extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), corticosteroid injections, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Non-surgical interventions showed variable efficacy. ESWT provided significant long-term pain relief, while corticosteroid injections offered short-term benefits that diminished over time. PRP injections demonstrated sustained improvement. US-guided procedures were found superior in precisely targeting anatomical structures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>GTPS remains a challenging, often chronic condition. Non-surgical approaches can effectively manage early stages, but persistent cases may require advanced interventional strategies.
