Core Tip	We investigated a plausible theory of prophylactic trochanteric bursectomy at the time of total hip replacement (THR) to reduce the incidence of post-operative bursitis. Our retrospective study included 954 patients over an 11-year period operated by two contemporary surgeons, one excising the bursa and the other not. From our analysis, we found no significant difference in the incidence of post-THR bursitis between the two groups. However, our series did demonstrate that synchronous trochanteric bursectomy during THR is successful at treating the lateral buttock pain component for patients with known trochanteric bursitis and osteoarthritis requiring THR; and therefore, we recommend the procedure in these patients.
