Abstract:
Ischiofemoral impingement syndrome is a rare clinical entity characterized by chronic groin, buttock or hip pain associated with radiographic evidence of narrowing of the space between the lesser femoral trochanter and the ischial tuberosity. Introduction of magnetic resonance imaging to the clinical practice as well as the establishment of the radiological definition of the abnormal ischiofemoral distance has led to an increasing interest in this condition. Ischiofemoral impingement syndrome is a poorly understood disorder of chronic pain, especially regarding its treatment. The authors present two cases of primary ischiofemoral impingement syndrome successfully treated with a minimally invasive surgical technique. With this endoscopic technique, it was possible to resect the lesser trochanter and restore the ischiofemoral space. Immediate clinical and functional improvement was reported by both patients.
