Snapping Hip Syndrome
Abstract
Coxa saltans, or snapping hip syndrome, is a common orthopaedic problem that can easily be diagnosed and treated when the proper evaluation and management are utilized. It is often seen in growing adolescents, athletes, and people with sudden increase in physical activity. A thorough physical examination will help decipher whether the snapping hip is intra-articular or extra-articular and will help guide treatment options. This article reviews how to perform a physical assessment and treatment options such as medications, stretching, physical therapy, articular injections, and possible surgical interventions. Complications from conservative treatments are rare, but weakness, infection, nerve damage, and atrophy may occur following surgical procedures.
