Video Summary
The lateral hip protocol begins with an examination of the anterior hip, a crucial step for comprehensive assessment. This approach often reveals that hip joint abnormalities, like osteoarthrosis proven through joint injections, can manifest as lateral hip pain. The protocol examines the joint, labrum, and key muscles; then focuses on five lateral hip structures including the greater trochanter, iliotibial band (IT band), gluteus minimus, both bands of the gluteus medius, and the bursa. Radiographs precede ultrasound to provide an overview and identify potential ossifications. Anomalies such as thickening, effusions, tears, and enthesiopathic changes are noted, providing diagnostic insights. The intricacies of bony structures and tendinous attachments are explored for accurate diagnosis. Ultrasound findings are correlated with sonopalpation to determine tenderness, aiding in pinpointing pain generators like the IT band. The process underscores a meticulous, partial-thickness tear assessment for targeted reports.
