Can a Clinician Accurately Diagnose Iliopsoas Tendinitis on a Physical Examination?
Weakness or pain during SHF and direct TTP of the IP tendon were highly sensitive and predictive for IP tendinitis, whereas MRI was poorly sensitive and should be considered for ruling out other sources of hip pain. Ultrasound-guided injections may be helpful both diagnostically and therapeutically. A focused PE can allow for a rapid, accurate diagnosis.
