Abstract
Hip pain may originate from various structures, but gluteus medius and gluteus minimus tendons, iliotibial band and gluteus maximus, pubic symphysis, and rectus abdominis-adductor aponeuroses pathologies are the primary causes. Static ultrasound may show many anomalies, but dynamic ultrasound, which allows real-time assessment of the relative movements of the structures, is the modality of choice for evaluation snapping hip syndrome.
