The approach to the evaluation and surgical treatment of mechanical hip pain in the young patient: AAOS exhibit selection

Jack G Skendzel et al. J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2013.

Abstract

The mechanical causes of hip pain in a young athlete often reflect a complex combination of static and dynamic factors. A comprehensive diagnostic approach is paramount to the development of a rational treatment strategy that will address all underlying pathologic factors. The goals of this paper are to highlight the pertinent biomechanical factors of the hip joint in femoroacetabular impingement and to discuss the clinical history, physical examination, and radiographic findings that are essential to formulating a proper diagnosis and an effective treatment plan. In addition, the current literature and reported outcomes of femoroacetabular impingement surgery in athletic patients are reviewed.
