Low dose radiotherapy effectively improved pain in the trochanteric area in most patients with recurrent or refractory GTPS, allowing a reduction in the need for analgesic medications and, more, importantly, better functioning and mobility. Further randomized studies in selected populations of GTPS are needed to define the treatment position of low-dose radiotherapy in this clinical setting.
