Introduction to Static and Dynamic Overload of Hip Pathology

Hip Arthroscopy and Hip Joint Preservation Surgery

Abstract

Diagnosis and management of hip pain in the absence of osteoarthritic changes is challenging for the orthopedic surgeon and requires a thorough understanding of the various static and dynamic mechanical factors that affect the hip joint. Dynamic factors occur as a result of abnormal contact between the femoral head and acetabular rim throughout the hip arc of motion, whereas static factors occur while a patient is standing or in an axially loaded position and undergoes asymmetric or increased loading between the femoral head and acetabulum. When considering surgical treatment for these patients, one must appreciate that compensatory motion due to altered hip mechanics can cause specific injury patterns and pain. This chapter aims to clearly describe the static and dynamic factors associated with mechanical hip pain and the importance of addressing all concomitant pathology to develop a thoughtful and effective treatment plan for this patient population.
