Ischiofemoral impingement (IFI) has been described in the medical literature as a cause of hip pain. IFI occurs due to an abnormal contact or reduced space between the lesser trochanter and the lateral border of the ischium and is an often unrecognised cause of pain and snapping in the hip. Association of multiple exostoses and a skeletal dysplasia characterised by an abnormal modelling of bone metaphysis and osseous deformities is highly characteristic of this disease. Consequently, multiple exostoses may narrow the ischiofemoral space and cause impingement and pain, even in the absence of malignant transformation. Surgical excision of exostosis of the lesser trochanter is a safe and effective method of treatment for patients with IFI. We present a case of left hip pain with incidental finding of hereditary multiple osteochondroma causing IFI and discuss the predisposing factors and review of literature.

ABSTRACTSports injuries involving the hip and groin are common. Special consideration must be given to musculoskeletal injuries in children and adolescents as their immature skeletons have growth plates that are relatively weaker than the tendons and ossified bone to which they connect. We present a case of an adolescent athlete with acute-onset groin pain who was found to have an avulsion fracture of the lesser trochanter.

Vascular complications of femur exostoses are rare, with popliteal pseudoaneurysm being the most common. After establishing the diagnosis, surgical treatment is mandatory. A 35-year-old woman presented with a painful pulsatile swelling in the lower medial aspect of the left thigh. Investigations revealed a pseudoaneurysm arising from the left popliteal artery adjacent to femur exostoses. Skeletal survey revealed multiple exostoses involving the upper and lower limbs. Surgical excision of the pseudoaneurysm was followed by ePTFE patch repair of the defect and excision of the exostoses. The patient was discharged after 5 days and followed up for 6 months with excellent results.

Introduction: Hip pain in children and adolescents may become a diagnostic challenge. A wide range of causes must be considered in the deferential diagnosis. Ischiofemoral impingement (IFI) is a pathological condition defined by hip pain associated with narrowing of the ischiofemoral (IF) space. We report the case of an adolescent patient with non-traumatic quadratus femoris (QF) tear secondary to an occult IFI syndrome. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such case reported in the literature. Case Report: A 15-year-old girl reported persisting hip pain for a month following increased physical activity. The symptoms had started a couple of days following a weekend of increased activity due to her participating in a dancing contest. Physical examination and imaging studies (standard anterior pelvis radiograph and MRI-scan) failed to reveal any pathology apart from an area of diffused edema in the IF space. Standard hematology and biochemistry laboratory tests were all within normal range. Conservative treatment for 6 months with rest and modification of physical activities failed. A new MRI scan showed partial edema resolution and marked reduction in the IF and QF spaces (12 mm and 8 mm, respectively), thus suggesting IFI, which, in turn, led to a partial rupture of the QF. The patient underwent a local infiltration of the QF with betamethasone sodium phosphate and betamethasone acetate (6+6 mg/2 ml) under CT guidance, which led to the complete resolution of all her symptoms. She remains symptoms free for 24 months. Conclusion: IFI is a rather uncommon condition in the developing skeleton. As in adults, in adolescents as well, MRI is the study of choice in cases of IFI, since it shows QF pathology and allows measurement of the IF and QF spaces, assisting physicians in establishing the right diagnosis. However, the coexistence of a QF hematoma and/or edema, may temper with the initial MRI measurements and render the diagnosis of the primary condition rat
