In coxa saltans called ( "snapping hip"), also available "Amonsche clicky hips" is a disease, which is available in two variants. With the more frequent external snapping hip, a strand of the part of the fascia lata , known as the iliotibial tract , a muscle fascia of the thigh, slides too close over the greater trochanter of the thigh bone . This can result in flexion ( flexion ) and stretching ( extension in) acetabular major to a sticking of parts of the tract at the trochanter, and finally come to jerky skipping the trochanter, which may manifest itself in an audible and tactile snap. Occasionally there is pain. There is also the rarer inner snapping hip.
root cause
This may be due to a gap or weakness in the fascia around the iliotibial band at the greater trochanter.
Symptoms
Aside from the tactile and audible snap, there are usually no complaints. Additional irritation can lead to pain.
therapy
When complaints are recommended for therapy physiotherapy, pain medication orally or local infiltration with local anesthetics . If the symptoms persist, surgical treatment by doubling the muscle fascia or fixing the fascia to the greater trochanter may be necessary .
