However, it is most commonly caused by gluteus medius and gluteus minimus tendinopathy or tear. The purpose of this technical report was to: 1) describe the ultrasound-guided fascial plane block technique targeting the superior gluteal nerve in the plane between gluteus medius\/gluteus minimus to treat moderate-to-severe, chronic, refractory greater trochanteric pain syndrome; 2) anatomically correlate the procedure with cadaveric dissections demonstrating the structures being imaged and the tissues along the needle trajectory; 3) demonstrate the feasibility of the technique with serial dissection of one cadaveric specimen following injection with color dye.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Technique description<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The ultrasound-guided fascial plane block targeting the superior gluteal nerve to treat moderate-to-severe, chronic, refractory greater trochanteric pain syndrome has been outlined with supporting ultrasound scans and anatomical dissections. The cadaveric dissections are correlated to the ultrasound scans of a healthy volunteer and provide visualization of the tissues in the needle trajectory. The feasibility study in a cadaveric specimen showed adequate stain of the superior gluteal nerve without spread to the piriformis muscle belly, the sciatic nerve, or the inferior gluteal nerve.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This ultrasound-guided fascial plane block is a feasible option for blocking the superior gluteal nerve without inadvertent involvement of the sciatic and inferior gluteal nerves. Further randomized controlled clinical trials are necessary to assess the clinical efficacy of the gluteus medius\/gluteus minimus fascial plane block to treat moderate-to-severe, chronic, refractory greater trochanteric pain syndrome.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/pm\/pnac071","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,26]],"date-time":"2022-04-26T19:28:44Z","timestamp":1651001324000},"page":"1875-1881","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Ultrasound-Guided Gluteal Fascial Plane Block for the Treatment of Chronic Refractory Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome \u2014<i> Technique Description and Anatomical Correlation Study<\/i>"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6928-3446","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guilherme","family":"Ferreira-Dos-Santos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Toronto Western Hospital, University Health Network, University of Toronto , Toronto, Ontario,","place":["Canada"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mark Friedrich B","family":"Hurdle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pain Medicine, Mayo Clinic , Jacksonville, Florida,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John","family":"Tran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Anatomy, Department of Surgery, University of Toronto , Toronto, Ontario,","place":["Canada"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jason S","family":"Eldrige","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pain Medicine, Mayo Clinic , Jacksonville, Florida,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Steven R","family":"Clendenen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine, Mayo Clinic , Jacksonville, Florida,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anne M R","family":"Agur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Anatomy, Department of Surgery, University of Toronto , Toronto, Ontario,","place":["Canada"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,2]]},"reference":[{"issue":"5","key":"2024110416014680100_pnac071-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1662","DOI":"10.1213\/ane.0b013e31819d6562","article-title":"Greater trochanteric pain syndrome: A review of anatomy, diagnosis and treatment","volume":"108","author":"Williams","year":"2009","journal-title":"Anesth Analg"},{"issue":"3","key":"2024110416014680100_pnac071-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"966","DOI":"10.1213\/ANE.0000000000001864","article-title":"Landmark-guided and ultrasound-guided approaches for trochanteric bursa injection: A cadaveric study","volume":"124","author":"Mu","year":"2017","journal-title":"Anesth Analg"},{"issue":"2","key":"2024110416014680100_pnac071-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"383","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arth.2012.10.016","article-title":"Greater trochanteric pain syndrome negatively affects work, physical activity and quality of life: A case control study","volume":"29","author":"Fearon","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Arthroplasty"},{"issue":"4","key":"2024110416014680100_pnac071-B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"231","DOI":"10.5435\/JAAOS-D-14-00406","article-title":"Greater trochanteric pain syndrome","volume":"24","author":"Redmond","year":"2016","journal-title":"J Am Acad Orthop Surg"},{"issue":"2","key":"2024110416014680100_pnac071-B5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"162","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pmrj.2008.09.002","article-title":"Diagnostic and interventional musculoskeletal ultrasound: Part 2.
