APEX Managing Modern Athletic Hip Injuries-Online Didactic (September 2021)-Hip-Groin Syndrome

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video is a presentation by Craig Morrow from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center on hip groin syndrome. The presentation starts with a case study of a professional football player who experienced groin pain. Various treatment options for groin pain syndrome with good outcomes are discussed. The focus then shifts to the pubic symphysis, its anatomy, biomechanics, and instability. The symptoms, physical examination, and diagnostic imaging for pubic symphysis instability are presented. The presentation also explores the combined injury patterns involving the hip joint, core, and pubic symphysis. Treatment options for pubic symphysis instability include open reduction internal fixation, curatage, and trapezoidal resection of the pubic symphysis. The presentation emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach and the use of diagnostic injections for determining the appropriate surgical intervention for hip and core injuries. The speaker concludes by advising against overtreatment and the unnecessary treatment of asymptomatic imaging findings in athletes.
