THE ASSESSMENT OF ATHLETIC HIP INJURY
Section snippets
ETIOLOGY OF HIP PAIN
Because the differential diagnosis of hip pain in the athlete is extensive, etiologies are usually separated into those relevant to the pediatric and adult populations.
ASSESSMENT OF HIP PAIN
Obtaining a complete history and physical is the next step in making a definitive diagnosis.
SUMMARY
The differential diagnosis of athletic hip pain is extensive. The physical demands of sport place the athlete at increased risk to injure the hip. The basis of successful treatment of the athlete with hip pain lies in the ability of the physician to assess and diagnose the etiology accurately. A thorough understanding of the evaluation of the athlete with hip pain allows for an earlier diagnosis, earlier treatment, and ultimately an earlier return to sport.

Pain referral and regional deep tissue hyperalgesia in experimental human hip pain models
2014, PainCitation Excerpt :Refractory hip pain is a common problem. In younger patients, pain resulting from sports injury are frequent, especially in soccer players, and runners, and ballet dancers [37]. In older people, persistent hip pain is generally due to osteoarthritis (OA), and a survey showed that 14% of adults more than 60 years of age reported significant hip pain on most days over a 6-weeks period [7].
Hip internal rotation is correlated to radiographic findings of cam femoroacetabular impingement in collegiate football players
2012, Arthroscopy - Journal of Arthroscopic and Related SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Internal rotation threshold values that detected radiographic findings consistent with cam FAI in football players with 80% sensitivity ranged from 21° to 26° for supine, 37° to 41° for prone, and 38° to 41° for sitting internal rotation. These values are close to what is considered the reference range for normal internal rotation, specifically 30° to 40° for prone/supine27 and 20° to 35° for sitting.28 Because most subjects had radiographic findings consistent with FAI but fell within the normal internal rotation range, an internal rotation threshold that is higher than previous thresholds may be needed to screen for radiographic FAI abnormalities in football players.
