Surgical Correction of Internal Coxa Saltans

Abstract

In this series, primary iliopsoas tendon lengthening in patients with internal coxa saltans was without any complication in only 60% of patients; however, overall patient satisfaction was 89%.

MRI of the Hip: Important Injuries of the Adult Athlete

“…Iliopsoas snapping has received attention in recent orthopedic literature because of positive clinical outcomes of arthroscopic release techniques [93][94][95]. The iliopsoas tendon may snap over the iliopectineal eminence, at the lesser trochanter, or between the iliacus muscle and iliac wing [22,93,96,97], resulting in a palpable or audible snap that may be elicited with movement from the frog-leg position (flexed, abducted, and externally rotated hip) to an extended, internally rotated position [22,41].…”

“…MRI also may identify those patients with snapping hips due to ischiofemoral impingement. Conservative management is preferred [41,97], though athletes with continued pain may proceed to ultrasound-guided injection and/or surgical intervention (iliopsoas tenotomy), with nearly all athletes returning to play following surgery [93][94][95].…”

Operative Arthroskopie des Hüftgelenks

“…Offene Verfahren zeigten Komplikationsraten bis zu 40% wie Rezidive, eine bleibende Schwäche der Hüftbeugung und Parästhesien im ventralen Oberschenkel [1,23,34,45]. Byrd [8,9] …”
