Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Hip Biomechanics
Pain Management

Background:

Ischiofemoral impingement (IFI) is a rare cause of posterior hip pain.
It results from narrowing between the ischium and lesser trochanter.
Symptoms include buttock, groin, and thigh pain, worsened by specific hip movements.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a safe and reliable open surgical technique for ischiofemoral decompression.
To address ischiofemoral impingement refractory to conservative treatment.
To include sciatic nerve neurolysis in the surgical approach.

Main Methods:

Open surgical decompression via a posterior approach.
Sciatic nerve neurolysis performed concurrently.
Focus on treating recalcitrant ischiofemoral impingement.

Main Results:

The described technique provides a safe and reliable method for open ischiofemoral decompression.
This approach addresses ischiofemoral impingement unresponsive to nonoperative management.
The procedure includes sciatic nerve neurolysis for comprehensive treatment.

Conclusions:

Open ischiofemoral decompression with sciatic nerve neurolysis is an effective surgical option for refractory ischiofemoral impingement.
The posterior approach offers a safe and reliable surgical solution.
This technique provides an alternative for patients failing conservative treatment.
