Approach to Young Adult Hip Patient: Physical Examination & Patient Selection

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video is a lecture by T. Sean Lynch from Columbia University about evaluating athletes with hip pain. He discusses the challenges of diagnosing and managing hip pain in athletes due to chronic and generalized symptoms. He provides five pearls of advice. The first pearl is not to get overwhelmed and to consider interarticular and extraticular sources of pain. The second pearl is to listen to the athlete and pay attention to the location of their pain. The third pearl is a method for efficient evaluation called "six-pack for your six-pack" that involves specific tests for different injuries. The fourth pearl emphasizes the importance of x-rays and MRI in diagnosis, while the fifth pearl highlights the connection between hip bone injuries and other soft tissue muscle injuries. The video concludes with a summary of studies showing the effectiveness of treating both athletic pubalgia and femoral acetabular impingement together. No credits are mentioned.
