Episode Details

It's Tuesday...so time for a new episode!

This week, I'm delighted to bring along my friend and colleague,

Dr Jenny LaCross, to talk about anterior groin pain, hip dysplasia and...my favourite topic: constipation!

Imagine you have a young female athlete coming in to see you who is complaining of deep anterior hip/groin pain and a feeling like her leg will give way...would dysplasia be on your radar? Would you know how to rule it in/out? (if not, have a listen and get the insight you may need for this differential diagnosis!)

In this conversation, we discuss:

• what is hip dysplasia, and why we need to know about it
• femoroacaetabular impingement, cam & pincer issues
• if imaging alone isn't enough to diagnose this issue, what should we know?
• why early diagnosis & treatment is essential
• conservative/ rehab strategies (hint: strengthen not stretch!)
• surgical management (PAO) and precautions post-op
• rehab after surgery (including constipation management!)

Jenny has an amazing in depth knowledge of this topic and was really generous with her time and wisdom - definitely a differential diagnosis we should have on our radar if female athletes are coming to see us! You can find Jenny on instagram as @jenn.lacross and you can find me and my continuing adventures in women's health there too - I'm @michellelyons_muliebrity
