snapping hip syndrome

This is a condition that is characterized by a snapping sensation, and often an audible "popping" noise, when the hip is flexed and extended. There are several causes for snapping hip syndrome, most commonly due to tendon catching on bony prominences and "snapping" when the hip is moved.

The three primary causes for snapping hip syndrome:
Iliotibial Band Snap
Iliopsoas Tendon Snap
Hip Labral Tear


Tx of SHS:
Anti-inflammatory Meds
Cortisone Inj
