Diagnosis and Treatment of Hip Pain in the Athlete

Jonathan M. Fallon, D.O., M.S. Shoulder Surgery and Operative Sports Medicine www.hamportho.com

Hip and Groin Pain

  • Diagnosis difficult and

confusing

  • Extensive rehabilitation
  • Significant risk for time loss
  • 5‐9% of sports injuries
  • Literature extensive but often

contradictory

  • Consider:

– Bone – Soft tissue – Intra‐articular pathology

Differential Diagnosis

Orthopaedic Etiology Adductor strain Rectus femoris strain Iliopsoas strain Rectus abdominus strain Muscle contusion Avulsion fracture Gracilis syndrome Athletic hernia Osteitis pubis Hip DJD SCFE AVN Stress fracture Labral tear Lumbar radiculopathy Ilioinguinal neuropathy Obturator neuropathy Bony/soft tissue neoplasm Seronegative spondyloarthropathy Non‐Orthopaedic Etiology Inguinal hernia Femoral hernia Peritoneal hernia Testicular neoplasm Ureteral colic Prostatitis Epididymitis Urethritis/UTI Hydrocele/varicocele Ovarian cyst PID Endometriosis Colorectal neoplasm IBD Diverticulitis

 Chronic inguinal or

pubic area pain

 Noted on exertion only  Not explainable by a

palpable hernias

Open vs. Arthroscopic Treatment

  • Burnese experience

– Open dislocation with

  • steoplasty

– Long term results

show minimal change in outcome

  • Arthroscopic

– Minimally invasive – Takedown and repair

possible

Ruptured Ligamentum Teres

 History of injury  Pain with flexion and internal rotation  MRI Arthrography may show lesion in fossa

Tumor

 Should always be considered  Night pain, rest pain  Constitutional symptoms  Mets, Primary Tumor, PVNS

Peritrochanteric/Buttock “Hip Pain”

 Trochanteric Bursitis  External Snapping Hip  Gluteus Medius Tendinosis/ Tears  Piriformis Pain

Bursitis

 Occurs from Repetitive Friction with Nearby Muscle or Traumatic Injury to Surrounding Tissue  Can Be Difficult to Differentiate from

  • ther Soft Tissue Processes

e.g. Contusion or Strain

 Several (13) Bursa About Hip  Four Major Bursa

Trochanteric Bursa

Ischial Bursa

Iliopectineal Bursa

Iliopsoas Bursa

Pelvic/Hip Bursitis

  • Trochanteric

– Friction of IT band over Gr. Troch. – Localized by ER and adduction

  • Ischial

– Common in Hockey and Skaters – Exacerbated by Sitting

  • Illiopsoas

– Anterior Snapping Hip

  • Illiopectineal

– Continuance of Illiopsoas bursa – Irritation of Illiopsoas tendon over

IP eminence

Snapping Hip Syndrome Coxa Saltans

 External is most common

ITB or Gluteus Maximus Sliding Over Trochanter

Inflammation of the Trochanteric Bursa

 Internal

Iliopsoas Snaps over Iliopectineal Eminence or Femoral Head

 Intra‐articular

Labral Tears, Loose Bodies, Osteochondral Injury

Often History of Trauma

Occur in Active Late Teens and 20’s

Gluteus Medius Tear

  • Late‐Middle age (F>M)
  • Tendinosis (similar to Rotator Cuff)
  • Possible cause of recalcitrant Bursitis

Gluteus Medius Tear

 Symptoms:

 Postero‐medial Pain  Sitting and transitional

pain

 Activity related

 Exam

 Trendelenburg Sign  Isolated Weakness

 45’ hip flexion

Arthroscopic Bursectomy and Tendon Repair

 For recalcitrant Bursitis

 Lengthening of IT

band

 Debridement or

Repair of Abductors

Other “Hip Pain Muscle Strains and Tendonitis

 Cause

Violent Eccentric Contraction with Muscle on Stretch

Contused Muscle is Susceptible to Strain Injury

 May also develop from Microtrauma  Muscles that Cross 2 Joints are More Susceptible to Strain

Adductor Longus

Rectus Femoris

External Oblique

Avulsion Fractures

 Skeletally immature athletes  Failure at apophysis

 ASIS  AIIS  Iliac Crest  Greater Trochanter  Lesser Trochanter  Ischial Tuberosity

Apophysitis

  • Can Occur Anywhere in Hip Girdle

Iliac Crest Most Likely

  • Overuse phenomenon

Similar to Other Apophysites

  • Diagnosis by Clinical Exam

Tender to Palpation over Area

  • Radiographs Show Physeal

Widening if Chronic

  • Treat by Modifying Offending

Activities Until Discomfort Subsides

Contusions

 Most Common Athletic Hip Injury  Usually Collision with Another Player, Equipment Collision or Fall to Surface  Can Occur Over Bony Prominences:

Iliac Crest – “Hip Pointer”

Greater Trochanter

Ischial tuberosity

Myositis Ossificans

  • Occurs In:

Areas of Deep Soft Tissue Injury with Hematoma

Around a Joint or Tendon Insertion / Origin

  • Presents as Painful Mass

Associated with Loss of Motion

  • Radiographs Lag Behind
  • Treatment is based on

clinical findings

Questions

 E) Referral to an Orthopaedic or General Surgeon  This is a case of a sports hernia and must be differentiated from other hernias. This can be diagnosed by an

  • rthopaedist, but a general surgeon is best suited to

ultimately manage this condition.

Review Questions in Orthpaedics. Wright, et al., Lippincott, Williams and Wilkins. 2002

Questions

 A) Hip Arthroscopy and Debridement  Labral tears typically affect the anterosuperior portion of the acetabulum rim. They are more common in the presence of acetabular dysplasia. After lack of response to an adequate course of conservative management, arthroscopic evaluation and debridement of the involved portion of the labrum are appropriate.

Questions

 A) A Syndrome of Lower Abdominal and Adductor Pain  Athletic pubalgia is a distinct syndrome of lower abdominal and adductor pain that is most commonly seen in high performance male athletes. This condition must be distinguished from others such as painful inflammation of the symphasis pubis, referred to as osteitis pubis and “snapping hip” symptoms attributable to the iliopsoas tendon.

  • A. Intra articular

  • B. Between the IT band and the greater trochanter

  • C. Between the iliopsoas muscle and the anterior hip capsule

Questions

  • B. Between the IT band and the greater trochanter

 The most common type of “snapping hip” is external which

  • ccurs between the iliotibial band and the greater trochanter.

Other types of snapping hip include the internal type, which is most commonly seen in ballet dancers. The internal type

  • ccurs between the iliopsoas tendon and the anterior hip
  • capsule. A snapping hip can also be caused by intra-articular

pathology including loose bodies and labral tears.
