Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Neurology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Groin and thigh pain are common symptoms.
  • Hip joint pathology is a frequent cause of such pain.
  • Malfunctioning hip prostheses and osteoarthritis are primary considerations.

Observation:

  • Three patients presented with groin and thigh pain.
  • Initial diagnoses included malfunctioning hip prosthesis and osteoarthritic hip.
  • Diagnostic imaging and electrophysiological tests were performed.

Findings:

  • Pain in all three patients originated from spinal issues.
  • Myelography confirmed spinal abnormalities in all cases.
  • Electromyography revealed nerve root compression in one patient.

Implications:

  • Spinal referred pain should be considered in hip pain differential diagnosis.
  • Diagnostic workup for hip pain may require spinal evaluation.
  • Accurate diagnosis of referred pain improves patient outcomes.
