Associated with females, ligamentous laxity, and hip dysplasia, pathologies include hamstring syndrome, piriformis syndrome, and ischiofemoral impingement. Piriformis syndrome case study highlights diagnostic methods and treatment options, including physical therapy, injections, and surgical release to relieve sciatic nerve compression.
