Abstract
The hip is a source of morbidity in the young from a variety of problems including developmental dysplasia and Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease to the elderly hip with fractures that often lead to a permanent change in living conditions if not early demise. Finally, high-energy injuries causing fractures to young adult males in the femoral shaft and supracondylar area are costly not only to care for but in terms of wages lost to the patient. In the past, many hip problems first appeared in the orthopedist’s office as arthritis necessitating hip arthroplasty, but in the last decade, earlier intervention in pathologies like hip impingement may ultimately result in fewer hip replacements.
