Hip biomechanics: importance to functional imaging

Although well recognized the hip joint is not well understood. In many respects knowledge of the hip is similar to that of the knee several decades ago. Increased understanding of the hip's structure and function will improve our ability to diagnose and treat pre-end-stage hip joint disease. Th...

Description
Summary:	Although well recognized the hip joint is not well understood. In many respects knowledge of the hip is similar to that of the knee several decades ago. Increased understanding of the hip's structure and function will improve our ability to diagnose and treat pre-end-stage hip joint disease. This article describes relevant anatomy and mechanics and details the crucial role that imaging plays in current assessments of hip function.
