title: Hip pain in the young adult.
abstract: Hip pain in the adult between 20 and 40 years of age may present as a diagnostic and treatment dilemma. Recently, adult developmental dysplasia of the hip and femoroacetabular impingement have been identified as important pathologic causes. These disorders often present with subtle initial findings. However, early diagnosis and treatment are critical to avert or delay the need for reconstructive surgery.
