Snap, crackle, pop: How to treat the painful snapping iliopsoas tendon (Stephen Aoki)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Steve Aoki, a faculty member at the University of Utah's sports medicine department, discusses the anatomy, diagnosis, and treatment options for painful snapping iliopsoas tendon in a video presentation. He explains the composition of the iliopsoas, its functions, and the variations in its structure. Aoki discusses the symptoms of internal snapping hip, the physical examination, and the limited usefulness of radiographic imaging in diagnosing the condition. He explores non-operative options such as rest, ice, activity modification, and physical therapy, and discusses surgical treatment, specifically arthroscopic release. Aoki notes the outcomes and potential complications associated with surgical intervention, including muscle volume loss and potential hip instability. He also discusses the use of iliopsoas release after total hip replacement. Aoki emphasizes the importance of conservative treatment first and advises surgical intervention only if non-operative methods fail.<br />(Note: The transcript provided is an edited summary of the video and may not include all details mentioned in the original content.)
