Clinically Relevant Anatomy[edit | edit source]
The iliopsaos bursa is the largest bursa of the human body and is bilaterally present in 98% of adults. This bursa is bounded by the musculotendinous junction of the M. iliopsoas (anteriorly) and by the fibrous capsule of the hip (posteriorly). It extends from the inguinal ligament superiorly to the lesser trochanter inferiorly and is flanked by the femoral vessels (medially) and the femoral nerve (laterally). [2]
Epidemiology /Etiology[edit | edit source]
Iliopsoas bursitis is mainly caused by:
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Acute trauma
- Overuse injury
Iliopsoas bursitis is commonly seen in individuals participating in:
- Strength training
- Rowing
- Uphill running
- Competitive track and field
This kind of bursitis mainly affects young adults. It occurs slightly more often in women than men. [3](Level of evidence: A1)
