Ischio-Femoral Impingement Syndrome- A Case Report

Ischio-femoral impingement syndrome is a rare cause of hip pain caused by narrowing of the ischio-femoral space and associated abnormalities of the quadratus femoris muscle. Imaging findings also include an increased ischial angle and increased femoral angle. Causes of IFI are innumerable and range from congenital causes such as coxa valga and developmental dysplasia of the hip to acquired causes such as intertrochanteric femoral neck fractures, or total hip arthroplasty. Treatment varies from conservative to endoscopic surgery.
