Abstract
This chapter explains how the hip fits within the core. Core muscle injuries (CMI) and symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) often occur concomitantly, particularly in athletes. The anatomy, biomechanical, diagnostic, and treatment considerations for these associated conditions are explained. A thorough understanding of the biomechanical relationship and kinematic linkage between the pelvic girdle and the hip joint, as it pertains to the transmission of loads and forces, is of paramount importance in the diagnosis and treatment of CMI. Intra-articular hip pathology can lead to compensatory alterations of the pelvis and the core muscles, which can cause CMI. Similarly, extra-articular core muscle or hip soft tissue dysfunction can exacerbate intra-articular hip pathology. With greater understanding and acknowledgment of the concomitant presentation of CMI and symptomatic FAI we have discovered that concurrent surgery is indicated in selected cases. Fixing both problems in the same operative setting offers advantages such as less anesthesia, consolidated rehabilitation “down” time, and no unaddressed injuries.
