Hip pathology in the adolescent athlete
The Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons
|November 5, 2013
Summary
Hip injuries in young athletes are increasingly diagnosed due to advances in imaging and surgical techniques. Early diagnosis and management are crucial to prevent debilitating consequences for adolescent athletes.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Sports Medicine
- Pediatric Sports Medicine
Background:
- Hip injuries in young athletes are rising.
- Improved diagnostic and surgical technologies aid in identifying previously untreated intra- and extra-articular derangements.
- Injuries can stem from trauma, repetitive stress, or underlying pediatric hip conditions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review common causes of hip and groin pain in adolescent athletes.
- To discuss advances in diagnostic interventions for hip injuries.
- To highlight therapeutic interventions for young athletes with hip pain.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of common hip and groin pathologies in adolescent athletes.
- Analysis of current diagnostic imaging modalities.
- Overview of contemporary surgical and non-surgical treatment strategies.
Main Results:
- Adolescent hip injuries present diverse osseous and soft-tissue etiologies.
- Advanced imaging like MRI and arthroscopy improve diagnostic accuracy.
- Timely intervention is key to mitigating long-term disability.
Conclusions:
- Accurate diagnosis and prompt management of hip injuries in young athletes are essential.
- Advances in diagnostics and therapeutics offer better outcomes.
- Understanding injury mechanisms and underlying conditions improves patient care.

01:16Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella
8.3K
The femur is the body's longest and strongest bone spanning the thigh region. Its head articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone to form the hip joint. A minor indentation on the medial side of the femoral head, called the fovea capitis, serves as the site of attachment for the ligament of the head of the femur. This weak ligament spans the femur and acetabulum and supports the hip joint. The narrowed region below the head is the neck of the femur. The inclination angle between the...

The upper and lower limb initially develops as a small bulge called a limb bud, which appears on the lateral side of the early embryo. The upper limb bud appears near the end of the fourth week of development, with the lower limb bud appearing shortly after.
Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...

01:19Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus
11.3K
The upper limb consists of the arm, forearm, wrist, and hand bones. The humerus is the single bone of the upper arm region. Proximally, it has a large, spherical, smooth head that articulates with the glenoid cavity of the scapula to form the glenohumeral or shoulder joint. The margin of the head is the anatomical neck, a residual epiphyseal plate. Laterally it extends to form bony projections called the greater tubercle and the lesser tubercle. Next to the tubercles is the surgical neck, a...

01:07Development of the Limb Synovial Joints

Joints form during embryonic development in conjunction with the formation and growth of the associated bones. The embryonic tissue that gives rise to all bones, cartilage, and connective tissues of the body is called mesenchyme.
The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.

01:27Signs of Puberty
2.2K
Puberty is a critical phase, typically beginning between the ages of 8 and 13 in girls and 9 and 14 in boys, though timing can vary based on genetics, environmental factors, and overall health. This period is characterized by the development of secondary sexual characteristics and the attainment of reproductive potential. Endocrine changes underpin puberty, with hormonal surges of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) instigated by Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH)...
