CONTEXT: Sports-related injuries of the hip are a common complaint of both
competitive and recreational athletes of all ages. The anatomic and biomechanical
complexity of the hip region often cause diagnostic uncertainty for the
clinicians evaluating these injuries. Therefore, obtaining additional diagnostic
information is often crucial for providing injured athletes with a prompt and
accurate diagnosis so they can return to activity as soon as possible.
Musculoskeletal ultrasound is becoming increasingly important in evaluating and
treating sports-related injuries of the hip. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: The PubMed
database was searched in May of 2013 for English-language articles pertaining to
sonography of sports injuries of the hip using the following keywords in various
combinations: musculoskeletal, ultrasound, hip, hip sonography, and sports. STUDY
DESIGN: Clinical review. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 4. RESULTS: Musculoskeletal
ultrasound is currently being used for both diagnosis and treatment in a wide
range of acute and chronic conditions affecting the hip, including tendinosis,
tendon/muscle strains, ligamentous sprains, enthesopathies, growth plate
injuries, fractures, bursitis, effusions, synovitis, labral tears, and snapping
hip. Therapeutically, it is used to guide injections, aspirations, and biopsies.
CONCLUSION: Musculoskeletal ultrasound use is expanding and will likely continue
to do so as more clinicians realize its capabilities. Characteristics, including
accessibility, portability, noninvasiveness, dynamic examination, power Doppler
examination, and low cost highlight the potential of ultrasound.
