@SpringerNature I have sent 8 emails about account issues resulting in me being unable to access any content despite paying for subscription. All my emails are ignored and the customer service support is shocking. Refund please!

3/3
Clinical exam raised suspicion of bony injury & x-ray and ultrasound confirmed a small fibular fracture at the lateral malleolus. Ultrasound is pretty cool tool for seeing cortical disruptions.

1/3
Why I love using diagnostic ultrasound (among many reasons!): it allows us to see the clinical story unfold in real time.

Guess what

Male, 50s - Marathon training, increased mileage & speed work

L groin & thigh pain, limping, night pain

Treated as hip flexor tightness by physio

+ive Hop test, +ive FADIR test

Weakness & pain on iliopsoas testing

MRI - high grade medial femoral neck of femur stress fracture - involving the iliopsoas tendon insertion at the lesser trochanter

Diagnose these as the hip flexor at your peril

ENDURANCE RUNNERS WITH A RAMP IN TRAINING DON'T GET HIP FLEXOR PROBLEMS THEY GET STRESS FRACTURES 😡😡😡
