Sideline Evaluation and Management of Acute Hip Trauma in a Collegiate Athlete

摘要

Traumatic injuries of the femoroacetabular joint and labrum are relatively infrequent in contact sports, including football. Extra-articular injuries to the hip region are reported more frequently, such as bone and soft tissue contusions to the iliac crest and fossa, and sprains and strains of the soft tissues of the hip and pelvic girdle. A study of injury patterns in Big 10 Conference Football reports that injuries to the hip, thigh, and leg (excluding the knee, foot, and ankle) comprise 1.0/1000 incidents (1). Another study, which analyzes 16 years of data from the NCAA Injury Surveillance System for men's collegiate football, reports that soft tissue injuries to the hip and pelvis have an infrequent but significant incidence, with muscle-tendon strains and pelvis-hip contusions (1.9% and 1.8%, respectively) being most common. Any injury type that does not comprise at least 1% of total injuries is not included; thus the exclusion of pelvic and acetabular injuries highlights their infrequency (2).
