\nFemoroiliac impingement is an inflammation of the sacroiliac joint that connects the lower part of the spine (sacral vertebrae) to the pelvic bones on the right and left sides, and is a joint with a limited range of motion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Symptoms of femoroiliac impingement<\/span><\/p>\n

When a patient suffers from a femoroiliac impingement, he feels pain in the lower back area that extends to the buttocks. It can also extend to the legs and the upper thigh area, and the severity of the pain may increase as a result of:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Exerting effort for long periods of time.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Carrying weights on one foot and not the other.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Up the stairs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Running.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Walking for long periods.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Causes of femoro-iliac impingement<\/span><\/p>\n

Several factors contribute to an increased risk of iliotibial impingement, including:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Pregnancy: Pregnancy hormones in the last three months increase the flexibility of the femoroiliac joint in preparation for childbirth, which leads to pain in the joint.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0One leg is shorter than the other, which causes increased pressure on the joint and pelvic distortion, and thus may lead to premature osteoarthritis of the joint.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Fractures of the pelvis near the joint.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Rheumatic diseases, such as rheumatoid disease.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Bacterial infection of the joint.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Diagnosis of femoroiliac impingement<\/span><\/p>\n

Symptoms of hip joint inflammation overlap with those of a herniated disc, so it is necessary to check during the clinical examination and undergo an X-ray, CT scan, or MRI to rule out other causes of back pain.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to the above, some laboratory tests must be performed to detect the possibility of diseases that cause arthritis, such as rheumatic diseases.<\/span><\/p>\n

Treatment of femoroiliac impingement<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0First: non-surgical treatment<\/span><\/p>\n

Femoroiliac impingement is usually treated by:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Drug therapy using anti-inflammatory drugs and analgesics.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Get relief by staying away from activities that make the pain more severe, such as running and strenuous sports.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Wearing medical belts that limit joint movement, thus relieving pain.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Physical therapy plays an important role in relieving the pain of iliopsoas arthritis.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Local injection into the joint in cases that do not respond to the above-mentioned therapeutic methods.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Surgical treatment<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0Doctors resort to surgery to stabilize the joint using plates and screws if other therapeutic methods fail to get rid of the problem.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you notice any of the symptoms mentioned above, we invite you to consult Dr. Ibrahim Gado, Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon, in order to obtain an accurate diagnosis and treat the problem safely using the latest medical technologies.<\/span>
