Abstract

Hip and groin pain is common in athletes, and there are many possible underlying pathologies. It is important to describe athletic hip pathology in the context of sport-specific physiologic loads and biomechanical demands. Three distinct types of athletes with this pathology are collision athletes, hypermobility athletes, and endurance athletes. Although there is considerable overlap between sports, athletes with hip pain should always be evaluated in the context of their sport. Understanding the effect of sport-specific biomechanical demands may help with both diagnosis and treatment of athletic hip pathology; however, each athlete's injury should be analyzed on an individual basis.
