Identification Of Functional Popliteal Artery Entrapment Syndrome In Athletes Who Have Failed Compartment Release

Abstract

flexed, p=0.93). Dancers showed greater dynamic US femoroacetabular translation when compared to non-dancer athletes in both the NF position (5.0±2.57 mm, 4.2±2.50 mm; p=0.04) and EER flexed position (6.0±2.53 mm, 5.2±2.41 mm, respectively; p=0.04). CONCLUSION: Acetabular dysplasia was not associated with increased dynamic US femoroacetabular translation in this cohort. Dancers showed increased US femoroacetabular translation compared to non-dancer athletes. This finding is likely related to increased ligamentous laxity and stretched ligaments inherent to dance training. Future research is warranted to collect data in asymptomatic dancers with and without acetabular dysplasia.
