Transcript THE THIGH, HIP GROIN, and PELVIS

THE THIGH, HIP
GROIN, and PELVIS
Chapter 17
INTRODUCTION
Although the thigh, hip, groin and pelvis
area have a relatively low incidence of
injury compared to some of the other
body areas we have studied, there are
some serious problems which can occur in
this area, as well as some common
problems such as the hamstring and groin
strains.

Summary
Thigh contusions and hamstring and
groin strains are common injuries.
A major complication of the thigh
contusion is myositis ossificans.
It is not clearly understood why strains
occur.
Femur fractures and hip dislocations are
serious injuries and medical emergencies.
