New Research on Hockey Hip Injuries
I've come across several recent articles related to hip injuries in hockey that I thought may be of interest to you. The incidence of femoroacetabular impingement in youth players presented in the Philippon paper, the incidence of FAI in NFL prospects in the Larson paper, and the performance statistics following athletic pubalgia surgery in the Jakoi paper were particularly interesting. Check out the abstracts below:
- Epstein-Intra-articular Hip Injuries in NHL Players-A Descriptive Epidemiological Study-2013
- Hammound-High Incidence of Athletic Pubalgia Symptoms in Professional Athletes with Symptomatic Femoroacetabular Impingement-2012
- Jakoi-Sports Hernia in NHL Players-Does Surgery Affect Performance-2013
- Larson-Increasing Alpha Angle is Predictive of Athletic-Related Hip and Groin Pain in Collegiate NFL Prospects-2013
- Philippon-Prevalence of Increased Alpha Angles as a Measure of Cam-Type Femoroacetabular Impingement in Youth Ice Hockey Players-2013
