Trochanteric bursitis is inflammation or irritation of a fluid-filled sac near the outer side of the hip. It is commonly associated with pain over the greater trochanter, the bony prominence on the outside of the femur. In everyday care, the term is used to describe a frequent cause of “outside hip pain,” especially with walking or lying on the affected side. Clinicians also use it as part of a broader diagnosis called greater trochanteric pain syndrome.

Trochanteric bursa is a small, fluid-filled sac near the outside of the hip. It helps tissues glide smoothly over the bony prominence called the greater trochanter. It is commonly discussed when evaluating outer-hip pain and related soft-tissue irritation. Clinicians also reference it as an imaging landmark and a potential injection target.

Trial components are temporary implant parts used during joint replacement surgery. They help the surgical team test fit, alignment, and joint function before placing the final implant. Trial components are most commonly used in hip and knee arthroplasty (joint replacement). They are inserted, assessed, and then removed during the same operation.

Triradiate cartilage is a growth cartilage in a child’s pelvis where three pelvic bones meet. It forms part of the socket of the hip joint (the acetabulum) while the pelvis is still growing. Clinicians commonly reference it on X-rays, MRI, or CT when evaluating pediatric hip development and certain injuries. It matters because its growth helps shape hip socket depth and orientation over time.

Transient synovitis hip is a temporary inflammation of the hip joint lining (the synovium). It most often presents as sudden hip, groin, or thigh pain with a limp, especially in children. Clinicians use this term to describe a common, usually short-lived cause of hip discomfort. It is discussed mainly in orthopedic, pediatric, sports medicine, and urgent-care settings.

Transient osteoporosis of the hip is a temporary condition where the bone in and around the hip becomes less dense and inflamed. It most often affects the femoral head and neck (the “ball” and upper part of the thigh bone). It commonly shows up as sudden hip pain and difficulty walking, despite no major injury. In clinical practice, it is mainly used as a diagnosis to explain hip pain and characteristic MRI findings that typically resolve over time.

Trabecular metal is a porous metal material used in some orthopedic implants. It is designed to help bone attach and grow into the surface of an implant. It is commonly used in joint reconstruction, especially hip and knee surgery. It may be used in both first-time (primary) and repeat (revision) procedures.

Total hip replacement surgery is an operation that replaces a painful, damaged hip joint with artificial parts. It is most commonly used for advanced hip arthritis and other conditions that wear down the joint surfaces. The goal is to restore smoother movement and reduce pain when non-surgical care is no longer enough. It is performed by orthopedic surgeons in hospitals or surgical centers.

Total hip replacement is a surgical procedure that replaces a damaged hip joint with artificial components. It is commonly used to reduce pain and improve function when the hip joint has advanced wear or injury. Clinicians may also call it “total hip arthroplasty,” meaning reconstruction of the entire hip joint. It is most often performed for long-standing hip arthritis that limits daily activities.

Total hip arthroplasty uncemented is a type of total hip replacement that uses implants designed to attach to bone without bone cement. It replaces both the ball (femoral head) and socket (acetabulum) of the hip joint. It is commonly used for hip arthritis and other conditions that damage the joint surfaces. The goal is to restore smoother motion and reduce pain by replacing the worn joint with artificial components.
