Current concepts in the management of hip pain in the young adult.
Until recently, surgical management of hip disorders in adults has focused mainly on conventional total hip replacements for advanced arthritis. These have been performed mainly in the elderly, and there have been few surgical options in the younger patient. Over the past decade, the treatment of hip disorders in patients less than 55 years of age has changed rapidly; improved diagnostic techniques as well as newer diagnoses have lead to increased surgical options. This article reviews the recent literature on these advances.
