Episode notes
Prevalence and Diagnosis of Hip Dysplasia
- Hip dysplasia is surprisingly difficult to spot and can take an average of five years to diagnose.
- It affects about a third of patients with hip pain in primary care and can significantly limit activity.
Symptoms and Presentation of Hip Dysplasia
- Hip dysplasia typically affects young female patients with insidious onset groin pain, possibly lateral hip pain.
- It's aggravated by walking, running, impact, pivoting, and prolonged sitting, and the FADIR's test is often positive.
Mechanical Symptoms and Range of Motion
- Patients with hip dysplasia often experience mechanical symptoms like catching, clicking, locking, or popping.
- The hip may feel unstable, and there might be increased range of motion rather than decreased.
