Summary THA Iliopsoas Impingement is an under recognized cause of recurrent groin pain after total hip replacement which may be caused by a malpositioned acetabular component. Diagnosis may be suspected clinically with pain with resisted seated hip flexion or straight leg raise and the presence of anterior cup overhang on CT. Diagnostic cortisone injection into iliopsoas sheath is helpful in diagnosis. Treatment is generally arthroscopic iliopsoas tenotomy in the setting of normal cup position. Revision of the acetabulum component may be indicated in cases of excessive anterior overhang. Etiology May be caused by retained cement malpositioned acetabular component limb length discrepancy excessive length of screws Anatomy Illiopsoas Presentation Symptoms groin pain Physical Exam findings are subtle and may include slight limp tenderness in the groin. palpable snap may be detected (rare) provocative tests pain may be reproduced or exacerbated by resisted seated hip flexion or straight leg raise Imaging Radiographs required views AP pelvis AP and lateral of hip CT scan helpful to determine postition of prosthesis and rule out other caused of symtpoms MRI usually not valuable due to artifact. Studies Diagnostic injection diagnostic cortisone injection into iliopsoas sheath is helpful in diagnosis Treatment Nonoperative observation indications rare most patients require operative intervention for complete resolution of symptoms Operative arthroscopic iliopsoas tenotomy indications in cases of normal post-op radiographs acetabular component revision indications in cases of excessive anterior cup overhang Technique
QUESTIONS 1 of 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Previous Next (SBQ16HK.13) A 62-year-old man undergoes total hip arthroplasty 6 months ago. He is now presenting with groin pain, which is exacerbated when he is going up the stairs, but not down the stairs. He has pain and significant weakness with resisted hip flexion. He is afebrile and laboratory markers are unrevealing for infection. His recent radiographs are depicted in Figures A and B. Which of the structures depicted in the representative image in Figure C (labeled 1-5) is responsible for his pain?

The pain is exacerbated when she tries to climb stairs or get up from a seated position. She denies any recent fevers or chills. On physical exam, the pain is reproduced with resisted seated hip flexion. Laboratory analysis, including WBC, ESR, and CRP are within normal limits. Radiographs reveal that the components are appropriately positioned without evidence of loosening or fracture. Which of the following is the most appropriate at this time?

The pain is worse with activity, specifically with hip extension during gait. Hip radiographs show no fracture or loosening of the components. Lab values including ESR and CRP are within normal limits, and a hip aspiration yields a nucleated cell count of 500 and no growth on culture.
