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

J Am Acad Orthop Surg

July 2024

From the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Division of Sports Medicine, Cleveland, OH (Dr. Tramer), the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Sports Orthopedic Research Center - Copenhagen (SORC-C), Copenhagen University Hospital, Hvidovre, Denmark, (Dr. Holmich), Department of Clinical, Medicine, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark (Dr. Holmich) and the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Stanford University, Redwood City, CA (Dr. Safran).

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.

Article Synopsis
  • Mechanical impingement of the iliopsoas tendon can cause persistent pain after total hip arthroplasty, often due to the anterior acetabular component not being properly positioned.
  • A study analyzed CT scans from 622 patients and identified a threshold of 4 mm or more of acetabular overhang that is linked to symptomatic iliopsoas impingement.
  • The findings suggest that below this 4 mm threshold, other causes of pain should be investigated before assuming iliopsoas impingement is the problem.

Article Synopsis
  • - Iliopsoas impingement can cause ongoing pain after total hip replacement, affecting around 4% of patients, likely more in those with unexplained post-surgery pain.
  • - The impingement occurs when the iliopsoas tendon rubs against the acetabular component due to factors like improper positioning or oversized cups.
  • - If conservative treatments fail, options include psoas tenotomy (which is less invasive and has quicker recovery) or revising the cup component; however, there's ongoing debate about which surgical approach is optimal.

Article Synopsis
  • Asymptomatic snapping hip affects about 5% to 10% of people, but when pain occurs, it’s known as snapping hip syndrome (SHS), which can be either external or internal based on where the snap is felt.
  • Diagnosis involves history, physical exams, and possibly imaging to rule out other issues.
  • Initial treatment is often non-surgical, but if unsuccessful, options include both open and arthroscopic surgeries, with arthroscopic methods generally showing better outcomes and fewer complications for internal SHS.
