hip tendinitis

Hip labral tears are found in 22-55% of individuals with hip pain, but labral tears without cysts are usually not responsible for hip pain, which originates mostly from other structures than the torn labrum, like osteochondral, but also tendinous injuries (rectus femoris, gluteus minimus, iliopsoas) or capsulo-ligamentous tears (iliofemoral ligaments, ligament teres). Those lesions are mainly the consequences of underlying unrecognized functional acetabular dysplasia, and/or femoroacetabular impingements. Although the early repair of labral tears in young sportsmen induces a marked and lasting relief, and might delay the onset of osteoarthritis, the microinstability fostered by labral damages seems less important than underlying dysplasias/impingements...

UNLABELLED: We reviewed the current literature regarding rehabilitation after gluteus medius and minimus tears as part of a conservative management or postoperative protocol. The greater trochanteric pain syndrome includes a constellation of pathologies that generate pain in the greater trochanteric region and may be accompanied by varying degrees of hip abductor disfunction. It may be related to tendinitis of the gluteus medius and minimus, greater trochanteric bursitis, or even formal tears of the hip abductor tendons...

OBJECTIVES: Rhythmic gymnastics injuries have not been studied thoroughly especially in the United States. Existing research studies are predominantly from Europe or Canada or from more than 15 years ago. The purpose of our study was to provide an updated description of injury patterns among rhythmic gymnasts in the United States. METHODS: A retrospective chart review was conducted of 193 rhythmic gymnastics injuries in 79 females, ages 6-20. Patients were seen between January 2010 and March 2020 in a hospital-based pediatric sports medicine clinic...

PURPOSE: This cadaveric study aimed at describing the anatomical variations of the iliopsoas complex. METHODS: The iliopsoas complex was dissected unilaterally in 28 formalin-embalmed cadavers-13 males and 15 females with a mean age of 85.6 years. The number, courses and widths of the iliacus and psoas major tendons were determined. Patients with previous hip surgery were excluded. The following measurements were taken from the mid-inguinal point: the distance to the point of union of the psoas major and iliacus tendon; and the distance to the most distal insertion of iliopsoas...

OBJECTIVE: To explore the feasibility and clinical effects of arthroscopic treatment for the calcific tendinitis at soft tissues around hip. METHODS: A total of 16 patients diagnosed as the calcific tendinitis at soft tissues around hip from May 2013 to July 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. All the 16 patients received arthroscopic procedures. There were 10 males and 6 females with an average age of 35 to 63 (44.50±6.67) years old and 9 left hips, 6 right hips were involved...

Use of the direct anterior approach in total hip arthroplasty is becoming increasingly common. Complications associated with this approach pertain to proximal femoral exposure. Selective capsular and tendinous releases improve exposure intraoperatively. Release of obturator externus has been avoided to prevent postoperative instability. A retrospective case-control review of consecutive patients who underwent direct anterior approach was performed. Demographic information, sequence of releases performed, dislocations that occurred postoperatively, and revision total hip arthroplasties (THAs) were recorded...

CASE: Calcific tendinitis of the gluteus maximus is a rare condition with poorly described operative treatment options. We present a 51-year-old man with chronic left posterolateral hip pain because of gluteus maximus calcific tendinitis that was refractory to conservative treatment. Endoscopy was pursued given the severity and chronicity of his symptoms. The patient remains asymptomatic without recurrence. CONCLUSION: This is the first description of endoscopic management of calcific tendinitis of the gluteus maximus...

PURPOSE: To calculate the iliopsoas muscle/tendon ratio at 3 levels of arthroscopic iliopsoas tenotomy sites in fresh cadaveric specimens. METHODS: An anatomic study design was performed using 16 iliopsoas musculotendinous units from the level of the hip joint to their insertion on the lesser trochanter. All specimens came from 16 fresh cadaveric specimens (10 male, 6 female), with a median age of 41 years (range 31-55.25 years). Circumferential measurements of the composite musculotendinous unit and the iliopsoas tendon were then made at the lesser trochanter insertion, the site of transcapsular tenotomy, and the site of tenotomy at the level of the labrum...

BACKGROUND: Pertrochanteric calcifications can be found in patients with greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS). A systematic description of the types and prevalence of these calcifications has not been undertaken. Furthermore, there is conflicting evidence regarding their association with abductor tendon injuries. PURPOSE: (1) To describe the various types and prevalence of pertrochanteric calcifications in patients presenting for the surgical management of recalcitrant GTPS...

As one of the many causes of groin pain, iliopsoas tendinitis can be hard to identify and even harder to treat. It occurs in the setting of both the native hip joint and following total hip arthroplasty. Internal snapping, or coxa saltans, can result from the iliopsoas snapping over the anterior hip capsule or iliopectineal eminence and can be a source of labral pathology. The snapping can be painful or painless. Iliopsoas impingement over total hip components either from the cup or collar of a femoral stem are causes of anterior groin pain...

The hip trochanteric bursa, tendinous insertions of the gluteal muscles, and the origin vastus lateralis make up the main structures of the peritrochanteric space. Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) refers to pain generated by one or multiple disorders of the peritrochanteric space, such as trochanteric bursitis, gluteus medius and minimus tendinopathy or tear, and disorders of the proximal iliotibial band. Patients with GTPS might present with associated intra-articular hip pathology, which requires further investigation and appropriate management...

PURPOSE: To define the topographic anatomy of the footprint of the adductor longus origin on the pubis and its underlying bony morphology to better inform surgical repair of adductor longus tendon injuries. METHODS: Five cadaveric pelvis specimens were dissected, making 10 adductor footprints available for analysis. The adductor longus tendon origin was isolated and the surrounding tissue debrided. The circumference of the tendinous attachment to the pubic crest was marked before excising the tendon and fibrocartilage enthesis from the pubis...

Background and purpose - Machine learning (ML) techniques are a form of artificial intelligence able to analyze big data. Analyzing the outcome of (digital) questionnaires, ML might recognize different patterns in answers that might relate to different types of pathology. With this study, we investigated the proof-of-principle of ML-based diagnosis in patients with hip complaints using a digital questionnaire and the Kellgren and Lawrence (KL) osteoarthritis score.Patients and methods - 548 patients (> 55 years old) scheduled for consultation of hip complaints were asked to participate in this study and fill in an online questionnaire...

Age-related neural and musculoskeletal declines affect mobility and the quality of life of older adults. To date, the mechanisms underlying reduced walking economy in older adults still remain elusive. In this study, we wanted to investigate which biomechanical factors were associated with the higher energy cost of walking in older compared with young adults. Fourteen younger (24 ± 2 years) and fourteen older (74 ± 4 years) adults were tested. Plantarflexor strength and Achilles tendon stiffness were evaluated during a dynamometer test...

AIMS: Optimal exposure through the direct anterior approach (DAA) for total hip arthroplasty (THA) conducted on a regular operating theatre table is achieved with a standardized capsular releasing sequence in which the anterior capsule can be preserved or resected. We hypothesized that clinical outcomes and implant positioning would not be different in case a capsular sparing (CS) technique would be compared to capsular resection (CR). METHODS: In this prospective trial, 219 hips in 190 patients were randomized to either the CS (n = 104) or CR (n = 115) cohort...

PURPOSE: Recent advances in diagnostic imaging techniques and soft tissue endoscopy now allow for precise diagnosis and management of extra-articular hip pathology. The aim of this scoping review is to present an evidence-based update of the relevant literature focussing only on the pathoanatomy, clinical assessment and the diagnosis of pathology in the peritrochanteric space. METHODS: A literature search was performed on PubMed to include articles which reported on the anatomy and diagnosis of greater trochanteric pain syndrome, trochanteric bursitis, gluteus medius tears and external snapping hip syndrome...

PURPOSE: To determine if any association exists between physical examination, imaging findings [ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)], and iliopsoas tendinitis (IPT) to characterize the reliability of these diagnostic modalities. METHODS: Patients who had undergone US-guided iliopsoas tendon sheath injection (of lidocaine and a corticosteroid agent) as well as MRI performed within 1 year of injection from 2014 to 2019 were retrospectively reviewed...

BACKGROUND: Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions are considered a significant public health problem on account of their high prevalence in communities worldwide and their pervasive impact. Knowledge of the epidemiology of MSK symptoms and diseases is lacking in Qatar. Obtaining this information will guide local health policymakers in the future strategic planning of the health budget. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence rate of MSK disorders in the Qatari population above 15 years of age using the Community Oriented Program for the Control of Rheumatic Disease (COPCORD) survey...

BACKGROUND: Optimal treatment for iliopsoas tendinitis after total hip arthroplasty (THA) with cup malposition, iliopsoas release alone or with cup revision, is controversial, particularly in young, active patients. Moreover, arthroscopic iliopsoas tendon (IPT) release in these patients has been rarely described, and midterm effects of this procedure on THA longevity and groin pain recurrence remain unclear. We performed arthroscopic IPT release after THA and report midterm outcomes in two young patients with acetabular cup malposition...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Hip and shoulder disease can occur in patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA). While hip involvement has been widely assessed in axial SpA patients, studies in the overall SpA population as well as studies focused on shoulder involvement are scarce. Here, we review the most recent studies on the epidemiology, evaluation, and treatment of root joint involvement in SpA patients. RECENT FINDINGS: Radiological hip involvement can affect up to 25% of patients with SpA, reflecting more severe disease and associated with functional impairment...
