Hip pain in dancers.
Dancers require extreme ranges of motion in their hips. They require this for many styles and performances. Hip pain and hip injury in dancers can lead to lost work and performance time. There are many potential causes for hip pain in the dancer, including dysplasia, hyperlaxity, both intra- and extra-articular impingement, and soft tissue injuries. This article will review the current literature on these topics in dancers and how they can be applied to the dancer patient.
