Description
Vincent J Leopold and co-authors published a journal article in 2026 on ischiofemoral impingement, painful pinching between hip and pelvis bones, in young patients with non-arthritic hip pain. Imaging for 250 patients included MRI, CT, and standing and seated spine-pelvis X-rays. Pinching was confirmed by swelling or wasting of a deep hip muscle.
Impingement was found in 14 patients, 5.6 percent, all female. Their bone-to-bone spaces were far narrower: 24.8 millimeters against 34.9 in others. They also showed a larger ischial angle, more thigh bone twist, and smaller offsets at hip and socket. Standing posture differed too, with more pelvic tilt. Combined analysis singled out the narrow muscle space as the strongest independent predictor.
