This case report describes an 18-year-old woman, who had symptomatic bilateral external and internal snapping hip and completed 28 of 30 training sessions during a 12-week resistance training intervention. The intervention proved to be feasible and improved maximal strength in hip abduction and extension measured with Isokinetic Dynamometry. Improvements were also seen in The Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score, and The Forgotten Joint Score. Furthermore, visual analog scale pain markedly decreased after the intervention.

Introduction: Iliopsoas bursitis and tendinopathy are common causes of hip pain and major contributors to snapping hip syndrome, which affects 5-10% of the general population. These conditions often are treated with conservative measures, including corticosteroid injections into the iliopsoas bursa. However, the clinical effectiveness of such injections has not been well studied.

The iliopsoas muscle complex traditionally consists of the iliacus muscle and psoas major, occasionally including the psoas minor. These elements were distinguished based on their shared function and common distal attachment. Although accessory structures have been previously reported within the complex, they are rare.

This article highlights the use of MSK-US for assessing the iliopsoas tendon and musculature in the anterior hip. The iliopsoas complex is often implicated in conditions such as tendinitis, snapping hip syndrome, and hip flexor strains, and accurate assessment can be challenging due to its deep anatomical location.

Snapping hip is a common cause of hip complaints, so radiologists should have it on their radar when involved in the workup and care of young patients with hip complaints, especially those whose symptoms are localized to the greater trochanter or iliopsoas. Although history and physical examination often suggest the correct diagnosis, imaging evaluation, including ultrasonography and MR imaging, is valuable to identify responsible extra-articular structures, assess for the presence of any concurrent intra-articular pathology, identify underlying anatomic variants that might necessitate alterations in surgical technique, and guide steroid injections.
