Major risk factors that may lead to the development of this condition are:

  • Repetitive stress or injury: Associated with activities like running, cycling, standing for long hours.
  • Hip injury: A direct injury to the hip may lead to hip bursitis
  • Spine disease: Such as arthritis of the lumbar spine, scoliosis
  • Inequality in the length of legs: May lead to inflammation of the bursa
  • Rheumatoid arthritis may lead to the development of this condition
  • Previous surgical procedures around the hip

An untreated condition of hip bursitis will eventually lead to chronic bursitis that will result in the build-up of calcium in soft tissues, which will result in a permanent loss of movement of that area.
