Síndrome de pinzamiento isquiofemoral: reporte de un caso inusual / Ischiofemoral impingement syndrome: Report of an unusual case

El síndrome de pinzamiento isquiofemoral suele ser una patología infradiagnosticada que forma parte de uno de los diagnósticos diferenciales a tener en cuenta en el dolor de cadera. Inicialmente fue descrito con procedimientos quirúrgicos, pero con el paso del tiempo se han ido describiendo diferentes entidades médicas, así como técnicas y posturas mantenidas, que puede agravar el cuadro, pudiendo asociar incluso afectación neurológica. En la actualidad el tratamiento es inicialmente conservador con medidas de reposo, analgesia, frío e inicio progresivo de ejercicios dirigidos a la musculatura lumbar, glútea y de miembros inferiores, pero no existe un protocolo de actuación establecido unificado.(AU)

Ischiofemoral impingement syndrome is usually underdiagnosed; this syndrome forms part of the differential diagnoses to be included in hip pain. It was initially described with surgical procedures but, with the passage of time, various medical entities have been described, as well as techniques and postures that can aggravate this syndrome, which can even be associated with neurological involvement. Current treatment is initially conservative, consisting of rest, analgesia, cold and progressive exercises aimed at the lumber and gluteal muscles and lower extremities but there is no established standard of care.(AU)

Extra-articular hip impingement: a review of the literature. / Atrapamientos y choques extraarticulares de la cadera: revisión de la literatura.

Hip and groin pain is a common clinical problem. Multiple causes can generate hip or groin pain, often sharing clinical and demographic characteristics. Diagnostic imaging tests play an important role in the etiological diagnosis. New forms of extra-articular hip impingement have recently been recognized as a cause of hip pain and limited function especially in young active patients. These conditions include ischiofemoral impingement, anterior inferior iliac spine and subspine impingement, iliopsoas impingement and greater trochanteric-pelvic impingement. In general, they are caused by a mechanical conflict with an abnormal or excessive contact between the proximal femur and pelvis and/or soft tissue between them. In this manuscript we review the physiopathology, clinical presentation, the most common radiologic findings and treatment of these forms of extra-articular hip impingement.
