Published: April 2022

Iliopsoas bursitis is a well-established cause of groin pain after total hip arthroplasty (THA), and it can become dramatically more complex when associated with neurovascular compression. Iliopsoas bursitis may be caused by a variety of pathologies in the setting of a THA but most frequently due to a prominent acetabular component or implant wear. Here we report a rare case of a female patient presenting with iliopsoas tendonitis, an accompanying femoral nerve palsy, and debilitating pain beginning 12 years after a previously successful primary THA without apparent implant wear. Ultimately, our patient was treated successfully with iliopsoas tendon release for anterior prominence of the acetabular component.

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.

Musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSK-US) has become an increasingly valuable tool in the evaluation and management of soft tissue and joint pathologies, particularly for rehabilitation providers. 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.

Background: The outcomes of revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA) have become increasingly important as their volume increases. Computer navigation, a reliable method to improve component positioning during primary total hip arthroplasty (THA), is not well studied in the rTHA setting. Given that dislocation rates following rTHA are significantly higher than those of primary THA, component positioning becomes paramount in these cases.

An enlarged iliopectineal bursa (IB) can cause pressure on iliofemoral veins. Clinical presentation can manifest as asymmetrical lower extremity edema. This case report demonstrates extensive asymmetrical leg edema caused by femoral vein compression based on iliopectineal bursitis (IB-itis) associated with advanced osteoarthritis (OA) of the left hip joint with an outline of relevant current literature.

The Iliopsoas: Anatomy, Clinical Evaluation, and Its Role in Hip Pain in the Athlete: A Scoping Review.

Article Synopsis
  • - Disability from iliopsoas (IP) pain is often overlooked in athletes, despite its critical role in hip flexion and stabilization.
  • - Accurate diagnosis can be complicated, as IP pain may mimic labral tears on MRIs, which are also not very effective at detecting IP tendinitis and bursitis.
  • - Functional assessments like hip flexion tests and palpation can help identify IP pain, which is especially risky for those with hip instability or certain anatomical conditions.
