Sex-Related Differences in Hip Injury Rates and Strength and Conditioning
Hip injuries are common in the athletic population, typically occurring in sports as a result of contact or overuse. Previous literature describes differences in injury rates between male and female athletes, clinical presentation, treatment, and outcomes. In addition, anatomic differences in acetabular and femoral version, hip alpha angles, lateral center-edge angles, pelvic tilt, and knee biomechanics have been demonstrated. These differences may alter injury patterns between male and female athletes and contribute to differences in hip pathology. Therefore, individualized treatment and rehabilitation strategies should b...

Hip Abductor and Peritrochanteric Space Conditions
The hip trochanteric bursa, tendinous insertions of the gluteal muscles, and the origin vastus lateralis make up the main structures of the peritrochanteric space. Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) refers to pain generated by one or multiple disorders of the peritrochanteric space, such as trochanteric bursitis, gluteus medius and minimus tendinopathy or tear, and disorders of the proximal iliotibial band. Patients with GTPS might present with associated intra-articular hip pathology, which requires further investigation and appropriate management. Successful midterm outcomes have been reported in patients undergoi...

Hip Pain in the Athlete: The Source is Key
Compared with the diagnosis and management of pain in the knee and shoulder, diagnosis and management of hip pain in the adolescent and young adult population had been relatively neglected until the twenty-first century. During the past 2 decades, there has been an explosion in the understanding of hip pathologic condition and management of hip conditions in the younger population without arthritis. Improved indications and modern techniques have been developed that make the field of hip arthroscopy relatively safe with a low complication rate. (Source: Clinics in Sports Medicine)

Hip Imaging and Injections
Athletic injuries of the hip often require radiographs and advanced imaging for diagnosis. Plain radiographs evaluate for osseous injury, provide a structural context behind an athlete ’s symptoms and examination, and offer a backdrop for interpretation of advanced imaging. An understanding of normal anatomy, imaging findings, and radiographic measurements allows for recognition of pathoanatomy and ability to diagnose accurately. Advanced imaging modalities, including magnetic r esonance imaging, computed tomography, and ultrasonography, each play a role in evaluation of the athlete’s hip. Although MRI and CT provide h...

Femoroacetabular Impingement and Management of Labral Tears in the Athlete
This article reviews the hip joint anatomy and complex interplay between alterations on the femoral and acetabular sides, in addition to evaluation of soft tissue stabilizers and spinopelvic parameters. Symptom management with a focus on arthroscopic treatment of abnormal bony morphology and labral repair or reconstruction is discussed. In select patients with persistent pain who have failed conservative measures, hip arthroscopy with correction of bony impingement and labral repair or reconstruction has yielded good to excellent results in recreational and professional athletes.
