Episode 24 with Dr Jenny LaCross
Episode description
It's Tuesday...so time for a new episode!
This week, I'm delighted to bring along my friend and colleague,
Dr Jenny LaCross, to talk about anterior groin pain, hip dysplasia and...my favourite topic: constipation!
Imagine you have a young female athlete coming in to see you who is complaining of deep anterior hip/groin pain and a feeling like her leg will give way...would dysplasia be on your radar? Would you know how to rule it in/out? (if not, have a listen and get the insight you may need for this differential diagnosis!)
In this conversation, we discuss:
- what is hip dysplasia, and why we need to know about it
- femoroacaetabular impingement, cam & pincer issues
- if imaging alone isn't enough to diagnose this issue, what should we know?
- why early diagnosis & treatment is essential
- conservative/ rehab strategies (hint: strengthen not stretch!)
- surgical management (PAO) and precautions post-op
- rehab after surgery (including constipation management!)
Jenny has an amazing in depth knowledge of this topic and was really generous with her time and wisdom - definitely a differential diagnosis we should have on our radar if female athletes are coming to see us!
