ABSTRACT:

Background

Arthroscopic iliopsoas tendon release was introduced in 2000. The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical outcomes of arthroscopic iliopsoas tendon release for painful internal snapping hip with concomitant hip pathologies.

The patients were followed for a minimum of 2 years postoperatively. Clinical and radiological evaluations were performed.
