In vivo interrelationships between the gluteus minimus and hip joint capsule in the hip internal rotation position with flexion.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The flexion adduction internal rotation (FADIR) test is performed by the combined motions of hip flexion (with knee flexion), adduction, and internal rotation, and can often reproduce anterior hip pain consistent with an individual's presenting pain. Since it has high sensitivity for intraarticular pathology diagnosis but low specificity, understanding the extraarticular pathology that can induce anterior hip pain in the FADIR test may also be essential. This study hypothesized that the interrelationships between the joint capsule and gluteus minimus differ in individuals with and without FADIR-positive pain and aimed to elucidate the in vivo interrelationships at hip internal rotation in 90°-flexion, which is also often restricted in individuals with FADIR-positive pain
