Abstract:
Running is an increasingly popular sport and form of exercise. Because of the importance of the hip in the biomechanics involved with running, forming the primary connection between the axial and appendicular skeleton of the lower extremities, accurate diagnosis and reporting of hip pathology are vital for appropriate management. This review provides an overview of the most common hip pathologies and injuries encountered in runners. Radiologic studies, primarily conventional radiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provide useful diagnostic information and should be used in combination with clinical findings to help guide therapeutic management.
