Iliopsoas Tendonitis: The Snapping Hip

The iliopsoas tendonitis refers to a pathology that affects the insertion of the muscle on the femur. Inevitably, the inflammation of the tendon of the iliopsoas muscle will initiate the inflammation of the underneath bursa (the iliopsoas bursa) and vice versa. Therefore, the iliopsoas tendonitis and the iliopsoas bursitis are commonly used to describe the same pathology.
