Specialized Toolkit Series: Arthroscopic Hip Treatments-Subspine Impingement

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Richard Van Tienderen discusses subspine impingement as part of the ANA HIP toolkit, emphasizing its significance in hip pain evaluation. Subspine impingement, characterized by contact between the anterior inferior iliac spine and femoral neck, often occurs alongside femoral acetabular impingement (FAI). Surgical correction improves outcomes and patient satisfaction. Diagnosis involves imaging and an understanding of femoral version's role. Effective treatment involves decompression and addressing both intra- and extra-articular pathology, using techniques like pericapsular windows to preserve the capsule. Ignoring subspine impingement may lead to revision surgeries, highlighting the need for comprehensive evaluation and treatment.
