When is a hip flexor not a hip flexor? Dr. Rod Turner joins Dr. Layci Harrison after his presentation at the Memorial Hermann Sports Medicine Update.
One of my rules of thumb is…What is going to kill a patient?
Is there anything ATs can look for in a hip flexor?
This kid came in on crutches?
Look at other factors
Discuss more of the gen med side of a hip flexor injury.
It is easy to forget about the abdomen.
It is easy to palpate the abdomen.
Are they getting better?
Are there certain cues we can give to request further imaging?
ER docs save lives every day.
Sometimes they get tunnel vision.
If the athlete had said abdominal pain rather than hip pain the workup probably would have been different.
Can we add anything to AT education?
Communication
Need to be willing to answer the phone
