Document Summary

Part 1: hip joint injuries and nerve disease. Forced extension and/or excessive contraction of the hip flexors. Can be rectus femoris (near origin) acute. Explosive hip flexion and knee extension kick. Usually from repetitive and excessive hip flexion. Poorly localized ache depp on one side of groin. Strengthen specific to injury (and function) and include eccentric and concentric. Wrap with hip spica (early and on return to play for sport) The result of pathological contact between the proximal femur and acetabulum. This is contact that shouldn"t be happening digs into cartilage making bones rubon one another. Leads to degeneration of the labral and articular cartilage due to repetitive mechanical microtrauma. Can be precursor to the development of osteoarthritis of the hip. Cam due to impingement of a large aspherical femoral head in a tight acetabulum. Boy holding the basketball his hand is the acetabulum, the ball is the femur. Head of femur doesn"t fit into the acetabulum.
