Hip Tendinopathies: An Update of Concepts and Approaches

Abstract

The present update was based on new scientific evidence of major hip-related tendinopathies. Themes were addressed that involve the principles of the onset of tendinopathies through, mainly, the principle of capacity versus demand and the biomechanical aspects involved in its onset, its main characteristics, and clinical presentations. Associated with this, treatment-related updates were presented, with exercise therapy being the focus of conservative treatment and surgical approaches necessary for the control or resolution of these cases.
