Ischiofemoral impingement secondary to valgus intertrochanteric osteotomy: a case report

Abstract

We report an unusual case of ischiofemoral impingement secondary to valgus intertrochanteric osteotomy. The osteotomy was performed for treatment of epiphysiolysis of the left femoral head.

The importance of prospective and longitudinal studies on ischiofemoral impingement syndrome

“…Ischiofemoral impingement is more frequent in women, as well as in middle-aged or elderly individuals. The etiology is multifactorial, and a number of conditions can predispose an individual to developing ischiofemoral impingement ( 4 - 6 ) , such conditions including postoperative changes; femoral deformities such as coxa valga, coxa brevis, and excessive anteversion; hip instability or dysplasia; pelvic retroversion; and hamstring tendinopathy.…”

Usefulness of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI in the evaluation of osteonecrosis of the proximal fragment in scaphoid fractures

“…A number of recent studies conducted in Brazil have highlighted the importance of MRI in the evaluation of diseases affecting the musculoskeletal system ( 5 - 9 ) . The use of a reliable noninvasive diagnostic tool to assess the viability of the proximal scaphoid pole is necessary to help surgeons plan the treatment of scaphoid nonunion, because there is currently no consensus regarding when conservative or surgical treatment is indicated.…”
