History

Endurance athletes presenting to the clinician should be thoroughly evaluated in a systematic fashion. The chief complaint is frequently helpful in determining the most important part of the history and physical examination: Is the source of pain coming from inside (intra-articular) or outside (extra-articular) the hip joint? Although the typical patient complains of groin pain, illustrated by a “C” sign or a “between the fingers” sign (Fig. 13.5a, b), several different locations in and around the hip may be perceived for true intra-articular hip pain [47]. Patients may complain of pain in the groin (55–92 %), lateral hip (59–67 %), anterior thigh (35–52 %), buttock (29–71 %), low back (23 %), knee and below (22–47 %), or foot (2 %) [47].
