Hip dysplasia in wrestlers: three lessons learned.

Hip problems due to dysplasia are commonly associated with female athletes in sports demanding supraphysiologic motion, such as ballet, gymnastics and figure skating. However, hip problems are rarely mentioned among wrestlers, a male sport in which flexibility is advantageous. Dysplasia may have a mostly unrecognized prevalence among wrestlers that can lead to problems and benefit from reorientation periacetabular osteotomy (PAO).

Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4.

Arthroscopic management of femoroacetabular impingement.

Femoroacetabular impingement is a well-recognized cause of intra-articular pathology and secondary osteoarthritis among young adults. It has been proposed that femoroacetabular impingement that does not require periacetabular osteotomy sometimes can be managed by arthroscopic methods. Clinically relevant impingement is suspected based on the patient history, examination findings, and radiographic features.
