Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the case of a 28-year-old professional ice hockey player who experienced deep posterolateral right hip pain after a slap shot during an NHL game. The player tried to continue playing but woke up the next day with increased stiffness and soreness. Despite receiving treatment from the team trainer, including non-steroidal drugs and modalities, the pain persisted for a week. On examination, the player showed signs of weakness in the glute med and positive impingement and labral stress tests. X-rays revealed a CAM lesion and a possible low AIIS. The video also discusses the use of corticosteroid injections in athletes and the potential risks and benefits. The player eventually received an intra-articular corticosteroid injection which provided 100% pain relief for the rest of the season. The plan was to evaluate further with an MRA at the end of the season. This case demonstrates that not all individuals with FAI anatomy require surgery and that conservative treatment approaches can be effective in managing symptoms. The video was presented by a panel of doctors, including Dr. Aoki and Dr. Bird. No specific credits were mentioned.
