abstract: Persistent anterior hip pain, in young adults, presents a diagnostic and treatment challenge to hip surgeons. Diagnosis, in some cases, is difficult because available diagnostic tools are not very reliable, resulting in a difficult decision making process. This article discusses the possible causes, current knowledge of the condition and outlines a method to approach this difficult problem.
