Index Snapping hip syndrome

Snapping hip syndrome, also referred to as dancer's hip, is a medical condition characterized by a snapping sensation felt when the hip is flexed and extended.[1]

Acetabular labrum

The acetabular labrum (glenoidal labrum of the hip joint or cotyloid ligament in older texts) is a fibrocartilaginous ring which surrounds the circumference of the acetabulum of the hip, deepening the acetabulum.

See Snapping hip syndrome and Acetabular labrum

Anatomical terms of motion

Motion, the process of movement, is described using specific anatomical terms.

See Snapping hip syndrome and Anatomical terms of motion

Anterior inferior iliac spine

The anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS) is a bony eminence on the anterior border of the hip bone, or, more precisely, the wing of the ilium.

See Snapping hip syndrome and Anterior inferior iliac spine

Biomechanics

Biomechanics is the study of the structure, function and motion of the mechanical aspects of biological systems, at any level from whole organisms to organs, cells and cell organelles, using the methods of mechanics.

See Snapping hip syndrome and Biomechanics

Bursitis

Bursitis is the inflammation of one or more bursae (synovial sacs) of synovial fluid in the body.

See Snapping hip syndrome and Bursitis

Corticosteroid

Corticosteroids are a class of steroid hormones that are produced in the adrenal cortex of vertebrates, as well as the synthetic analogues of these hormones.

See Snapping hip syndrome and Corticosteroid

Femoroacetabular impingement

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a condition involving one or more anatomical abnormalities of the hip joint, which is a ball and socket joint.

See Snapping hip syndrome and Femoroacetabular impingement

Gluteus maximus

The gluteus maximus is the main extensor muscle of the hip in humans.

See Snapping hip syndrome and Gluteus maximus

Gluteus medius

The gluteus medius, one of the three gluteal muscles, is a broad, thick, radiating muscle.

See Snapping hip syndrome and Gluteus medius

Greater trochanter

The greater trochanter of the femur is a large, irregular, quadrilateral eminence and a part of the skeletal system.

See Snapping hip syndrome and Greater trochanter

Greater trochanteric pain syndrome

Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS), a form of bursitis, is inflammation of the trochanteric bursa, a part of the hip. Snapping hip syndrome and Greater trochanteric pain syndrome are syndromes.

Hamstring

In human anatomy, a hamstring is any one of the three posterior thigh muscles between the hip and the knee (from medial to lateral: semimembranosus, semitendinosus and biceps femoris).

See Snapping hip syndrome and Hamstring

Hip arthroscopy

Hip arthroscopy refers to the viewing of the interior of the acetabulofemoral (hip) joint through an arthroscope and the treatment of hip pathology through a minimally invasive approach.

See Snapping hip syndrome and Hip arthroscopy

Iliopsoas

The iliopsoas muscle (from lit and muscles of the loins) refers to the joined psoas major and the iliacus muscles.

See Snapping hip syndrome and Iliopsoas

Iliotibial band syndrome

Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) is the second most common knee injury, and is caused by inflammation located on the lateral aspect of the knee due to friction between the iliotibial band and the lateral epicondyle of the femur. Snapping hip syndrome and iliotibial band syndrome are Overuse injuries and syndromes.

See Snapping hip syndrome and Iliotibial band syndrome

Iliotibial tract

The iliotibial tract or iliotibial band (ITB; also known as Maissiat's band or the IT band) is a longitudinal fibrous reinforcement of the fascia lata.

See Snapping hip syndrome and Iliotibial tract

Lesser trochanter

In human anatomy, the lesser trochanter is a conical, posteromedial, bony projection from the shaft of the femur.

See Snapping hip syndrome and Lesser trochanter

Ligament of head of femur

The ligament of the head of the femur (round ligament of the femur, foveal ligament, or Fillmore's ligament) is a weak ligament located in the hip joint.

See Snapping hip syndrome and Ligament of head of femur

List of flexors of the human body

A flexor is a muscle that flexes a joint.

See Snapping hip syndrome and List of flexors of the human body

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) are members of a therapeutic drug class which reduces pain, decreases inflammation, decreases fever, and prevents blood clots.

See Snapping hip syndrome and Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug

Pain

Pain is a distressing feeling often caused by intense or damaging stimuli.

See Snapping hip syndrome and Pain

Rectus femoris muscle

The rectus femoris muscle is one of the four quadriceps muscles of the human body.

RICE (medicine)

RICE is a mnemonic acronym for the four elements of a treatment regimen that was once recommended for soft tissue injuries: rest, ice, compression, and elevation.

See Snapping hip syndrome and RICE (medicine)

Synovial bursa

A synovial bursa, usually simply bursa (bursae or bursas), is a small fluid-filled sac lined by synovial membrane with an inner capillary layer of viscous synovial fluid (similar in consistency to that of a raw egg white).

See Snapping hip syndrome and Synovial bursa

Synovial chondromatosis

Synovial chondromatosis is a locally aggressive bone tumor of the cartilaginous type.

See Snapping hip syndrome and Synovial chondromatosis

Tensor fasciae latae muscle

The tensor fasciae latae (or tensor fasciæ latæ or, formerly, tensor vaginae femoris) is a muscle of the thigh.
