  • Title: Iliopsoas tendonitis caused by overhang of a collared femoral prosthesis.
    Author: Brew CJ, Stockley I, Grainger AJ, Stone MH.
    Journal: J Arthroplasty; 2011 Apr; 26(3):504.e17-9. PubMed ID: 20096537.
    Abstract:
    Pain after total hip arthroplasty can be due to a variety of causes, one of the less common being iliopsoas tendonitis. We report an unusual case of iliopsoas tendonitis caused by overhang of the femoral calcar by a collared femoral prosthesis resulting in impingement on the iliopsoas tendon. An ultrasound-guided corticosteroid and local anesthetic diagnostic injection to the site of impingement confirmed the diagnosis with temporary symptom relief. Revision of the femoral stem to a collarless prosthesis resulted in immediate and complete resolution of symptoms.
