This case report illustrates a common clinical issue, where an 86-year-old woman was being referred to an emergency department because of severe hip and groin pain. The primary examination ruled out proximal femoral or pelvic fracture, and after an MRI was performed, the unusual cause of her pain was revealed: a rupture of the iliopsoas tendon at its insertion on the lesser trochanter. We present the causes and dispositions for iliopsoas tendon rupture among elderly, as well as the diagnostic order of imaging techniques and treatment for this condition.

Objective: Validated patient-reported outcome measures for patients with hip-abductor tendon pathology are lacking. Recent studies indicate that the Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS), in the original or the revised scoring format, and the Oxford Hip Score (OHS) may be relevant for use in patients with hip-abductor tendon pathology. The objective of this study was to assess the validity of the Danish version of the HAGOS, the revised HAGOS, and the OHS psychometrically in patients with hip-abductor tendon pathology.

Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head accounts for up to 10% of all total hip arthroplasties performed annually. Typically associated with intravascular coagulation, AVN is extremely rare in patients with bleeding disorders such as hemophilia B. In this report, we describe the therapeutic management of a 46-year-old male with hemophilia B, presenting with chronic left hip pain and AVN of the femoral head.
