Summary

Internal snapping hip, caused by the iliopsoas tendon catching on bone, leads to hip pain and gait issues. Surgical lengthening of the tendon via an inguinal approach is recommended.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Human Anatomy

Background:

  • Internal extraarticular snapping hip is a rare condition.
  • It often presents with functional limitations and gait disturbances.
  • Misdiagnosis is common due to its infrequent occurrence.

Observation:

  • This paper details a case of internal snapping hip.
  • The condition was provoked by the iliopsoas tendon.
  • The tendon impinged on the lesser trochanter or iliopectineal eminence.

Findings:

  • The iliopsoas tendon's abnormal catching mechanism causes the snapping hip.
  • Standard surgical treatment involves lengthening the affected tendon.
  • An inguinal surgical approach is suggested for this procedure.

Implications:

  • Accurate diagnosis and timely surgical intervention can restore hip function.
  • Lengthening the iliopsoas tendon can alleviate pain and gait problems.
  • The inguinal approach offers a viable surgical option for treating internal snapping hip.
