How Dr Khoo treats Trochanteric Bursitis

For patients with chronic or treatment-resistant trochanteric bursitis, Dr Oliver Khoo offers surgical management to address the source of inflammation and discomfort. His surgical-first approach is guided by the individual’s anatomy, symptom severity, and functional goals.

Surgical Management

In select cases, a bursectomy may be recommended to remove the inflamed bursa. If mechanical factors such as tendon irritation or anatomical abnormalities are contributing to the condition, these may also be addressed during the procedure. Dr Khoo’s surgical care is designed to reduce pain, restore hip function, and support long-term mobility using safe and effective techniques.
