Specialized Toolkit Series: Arthroscopic Hip Treatments-Management of the Struggling Patient

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dustin Richter and Christopher Canario discuss managing patients struggling post-hip arthroscopy. Key steps include identifying when issues began, assessing pain sources, and evaluating potential causes like iliopsoas tendonitis, adhesions, or capsular integrity issues. They emphasize thorough history, physical exams, and imaging to determine pain sources, be it intra- or extra-articular. Treatment plans prioritize patient education, setting realistic recovery expectations, and using therapies like corticosteroid injections, physical therapy, or alternative modalities. Revisiting hip arthroscopy for issues like adhesions or labral tears might be necessary, ensuring comprehensive management of persistent symptoms.
