A Cadaveric Model of Femoroacetabular Impingement: Preliminary Results on Pubic Symphysis Biomechanics
ثبت نشده
چکیده
INTRODUCTION: Athletic pubalgia, also known as sports hernia, is a common clinical presentation of localized groin pain, which can affect several locations including: adductor origin, inguinal region, acetabular/hip region and at the pubic symphysis [1]. Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) has been suspected as a major cause of groin pain in athletes, but a clear linkage has yet to be established. The linkage between FAI and athletic pubalgia could change the algorithm of diagnosis and treatment of patients with athletic pubalgia. This connection could also be used for early identification of labral lesions and osteoarthritis [2]. Dalstra et al. have shown that a significant portion of the load from the upper body is transferred across the pubic bone during motion. They have also shown that the load is concentrated in the anterior-superior quadrant of the acetabular rim as imparted by the femur [3]. This location on the acetabular rim is consistent with the location where femoroacetabular cam-lesions are most commonly found [3].

Correlation Between Cam-Type Femoroacetabular Impingement and Radiographic Osteitis Pubis.
A mechanistic link has been suggested between cam-type femoroacetabular impingement and increased stress on the symphysis pubis. This retrospective study was conducted to determine whether there is an increased prevalence of osteitis pubis, as evidenced by imaging, in patients with femoroacetabular impingement compared with age-matched control subjects. Search of a radiologic database of a larg...
متن کاملEndoscopic Pubic Symphysectomy for Athletic Osteitis Pubis.
Osteitis pubis is a common form of athletic pubalgia associated with femoroacetabular impingement. Endoscopic pubic symphysectomy was developed as a less invasive option than open surgical curettage for recalcitrant osteitis pubis. This technical note demonstrates the use of the anterior and suprapubic portals in the supine lithotomy position for endoscopic burr resection of pubic symphyseal fi...
متن کاملThe Recognition and Evaluation of Patterns of Compensatory Injury in Patients With Mechanical Hip Pain
CONTEXT In active individuals with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), the resultant reduction in functional range of motion leads to high impaction loads at terminal ranges. These increased forces result in compensatory effects on bony and soft tissue structures within the hip joint and hemipelvis. An algorithm is useful in evaluating athletes with pre-arthritic, mechanical hip pain and associ...
متن کاملNon-articular sources of groin pain in the athlete
Groin problems in sports can be multifactorial and often a team approach between orthopaedic, general surgeons is required for both diagnosis and treatment. Both clinical disciplines can be the first point of contact for athletes looking for medical advice. Good communication between the members of a medical team looking after an athlete is essential and is not helped by the use of confusing te...
