Book cover The Hip and Pelvis in Sports Medicine and Primary Care

Abstract

Hip and pelvis pain are relatively common presenting complaints in adult patients. The diagnosis can be challenging as the patient may present with hip pain, groin pain or even pain referred to other areas. Additionally, due to overlapping pain patterns, injury or disease from nearby structures can refer pain to the hip and pelvis. The result is a large differential diagnosis which can appear daunting to the evaluating provider. As such, it is helpful to divide hip and pelvis pathology into anterior, lateral, and posterior causes of pain while remembering to include examinations of the abdomen, spine, and knee in appropriate cases. This chapter reviews the common musculoskeletal etiologies, associated symptoms, diagnostic evaluation, and treatment of adults presenting with hip and/or pelvis pain.
