AI Article Synopsis

  • The article reviews common hip injuries in adolescent athletes, including avulsion injuries, stress fractures, and conditions like SCFE and Legg-Calve-Perthes disease.
  • It emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and treatment, highlighting potential complications if these issues are overlooked.
  • The focus is on conservative therapies and minimizing the need for advanced imaging when possible.

Article Abstract

This article provides concise and up-to-date information on the most common hip pathologies that affect adolescent athletes. We cover the evaluation and treatment of avulsion injuries, stress fractures, slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE), femoroacetabular impingement, developmental dysplasia of the hip, Legg-Calve-Perthes disease, and coxa saltans focusing on minimizing advanced imaging and using conservative therapy when applicable. Although this is not an all-encompassing list of disorders, it is key to understand these hip pathologies because these injuries occur commonly and can also have detrimental complications if not diagnosed and addressed early, especially SCFE and femoral neck stress fractures.

January 2025

Adnan Menderes Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Ortopedi ve Travmatoloji Anabilim Dalı, 09010 Efeler, Aydın, Türkiye.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to measure the reliability of the expanded and revised Melbourne Cerebral Palsy Hip Classification System (r-MCPHCS) across different medical specialties.

Patients And Methods: Anteroposterior pelvic radiographs of a total of 44 patients (20 males, 24 females; median 16.7 years; range, 12 to 32 years) with cerebral palsy (CP) were analyzed between January 2005 and December 2020.

Assessment and quantitative analysis of hip surrounding muscles in children with developmental dysplasia of the hip via magnetic resonance imaging.

J Orthop Surg Res

December 2024

Department of Pediatric Orthopedics, Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University, No. 36 Sanhao Street, Heping District, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, 110004, China.

Background: The muscles that encase the hip serve a crucial role in both joint stability and functional efficacy, and as developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) progresses, the surrounding musculature may undergo specific adaptations that reduce joint stability, thereby exacerbating dislocation. Yet, the exact nature of changes in muscle morphology and quality remains inadequately investigated. This study aimed to compare magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluations of the iliopsoas and other hip flexor and extensor muscles in children with unilateral DDH before and after treatment.

Adverse local tissue reaction (ALTR) and osteolysis formation are more frequently described complications after total hip arthroplasty (THA) with metal-on-metal bearings. In this report, we present a unique case of ALTR and osteolysis formation with ceramic-on-ceramic bearing THA, which has been less commonly described in the existing literature. This rare case occurred in a 54-year-old patient who had a primary THA done 17 years prior to representing to our institution.

➢ Low back pain has a lifetime incidence of up to 84% and represents the leading cause of disability in the United States; 10% to 38% of cases can be attributed to sacroiliac joint (SIJ) dysfunction as an important pain generator.➢ Physical examination of the SIJ, including >1 provocation test (due to their moderate sensitivity and specificity) and examination of adjacent joints (hip and lumbar spine) should be routinely performed in all patients presenting with low back, gluteal, and posterior hip pain.➢ Radiographic investigations including radiographs, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging with protocols optimized for the visualization of the SIJs may facilitate the diagnosis of common pathologies.
