Abstract

The diagnosis of hip and pelvic pathology can be difficult, and a complete understanding of anatomy and pathology combined with a thorough history and physical examination is essential. Differentiation between primary hip and pelvic pathology and secondary compensatory dysfunction is crucial to designing an appropriate treatment strategy. The treating clinician should be aware of all available imaging modalities, including radiographs, MRI, and CT, which are essential to formulating an accurate diagnosis. There is a high rate of asymptomatic hip and pelvic pathology in athletic individuals. Imaging findings should be correlated with clinical symptoms and examination findings.

Most hip and pelvic pathologies respond favorably to an initial trial of non-operative treatment. Femoral neck fractures, joint sepsis, and traumatic hip dislocations in an athlete require emergent treatment. Surgical treatment options for injuries that do not respond to conservative measures are evolving. The increased utilization of hip arthroscopy has expanded the surgical indications for hip and pelvic pathology with promising results. Femoroacetabular impingement is an increasingly recognized pathology that can contribute to symptomatic impingement, instability, and other painful conditions.
