Anatomic Variance of the Iliopsoas Tendon

Abstract

Arthroscopic release of the iliopsoas tendon is a well-accepted surgical treatment for iliopsoas impingement. The most widely used site for tendon release is at the level of the anterior hip joint. The findings of this novel cadaveric anatomy study suggest that surgeons should be mindful that more than 1 tendon may be present and require release for curative treatment.
