Abstract

Iliopsoas impingement is a little-known cause of periarticular pain after total hip replacement surgery, which is why its diagnosis is essential. The following observational, non-analytical, case series study is presented. Between the months of February and April 2024, four post-total hip replacement patients diagnosed with iliopsoas impingement were included, three of these were treated conservatively and one surgically with arthroscopic psoas tenotomy. In our case, the treatment of this condition was satisfactory; however, further studies on arthroscopic treatment of this pathology are required to demonstrate consistent usefulness when conservative management fails.
