Abstract

Introduction

This report aims to describe the epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic workup, treatment, and rehabilitation, natural course, and possible risk factors of the rare entity spontaneous iliopsoas tendon rupture.

Methods

One case of spontaneous iliopsoas tendon rupture was encountered. The patient was followed during the hospital stay, her journal was later reviewed, and one telephone follow-up after 90 days was performed. Structured reviews of the literature in the PudMed and Micromedex databases were performed.

Results

The patient recovered fully within 6 weeks of conservative treatment with small doses of acetaminophen and opioid. The literature reviews yielded 14 previously reported spontaneous iliopsoas tendon ruptures but no strong evidence regarding possible risk factors.

Conclusion

Spontaneous iliopsoas tendon rupture is a rare event, typically occurring in the elderly female. MRI is generally diagnostic, but signs are also often present on CT scans and sometimes even on plain X-ray. Conservative treatment has an excellent prognosis of full recovery within 6 weeks. The evidence on possible risk factors is scarce and conflicting.

Proximale Humerusfraktur: Auch 100-Jährige operieren?

01.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Mit dem demographischen Wandel versorgt auch die Chirurgie immer mehr betagte Menschen. Von Entwicklungen wie Fast-Track können auch ältere Menschen profitieren und bei proximaler Humerusfraktur können selbst manche 100-Jährige noch sicher operiert werden.

Sind Frauen die fähigeren Ärzte?

30.04.2024 Gendermedizin Nachrichten

Patienten, die von Ärztinnen behandelt werden, dürfen offenbar auf bessere Therapieergebnisse hoffen als Patienten von Ärzten. Besonders gilt das offenbar für weibliche Kranke, wie eine Studie zeigt.

Notfall-TEP der Hüfte ist auch bei 90-Jährigen machbar

26.04.2024 Hüft-TEP Nachrichten

Ob bei einer Notfalloperation nach Schenkelhalsfraktur eine Hemiarthroplastik oder eine totale Endoprothese (TEP) eingebaut wird, sollte nicht allein vom Alter der Patientinnen und Patienten abhängen. Auch über 90-Jährige können von der TEP profitieren.

Arthroskopie kann Knieprothese nicht hinauszögern

Ein arthroskopischer Eingriff bei Kniearthrose macht im Hinblick darauf, ob und wann ein Gelenkersatz fällig wird, offenbar keinen Unterschied.
