Hip-Spine Syndrome. James D. Kang, MD, Chairman of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, describes the process of diagnosing and treating patients with Hip-Spine Syndrome.
Hip-Spine Syndrome is a condition where both hip and spine problems are occurring in tandem. Many people suffer with this because the basic pathophysiology behind hip and spine conditions is very similar. Additionally, due to overlapping symptoms, Hip-Spine Syndrome can be particularly difficult to diagnose, but it is an imperative first step in executing an appropriate treatment plan.
Brigham and Women’s Hospital has brought diagnosis of Hip-Spine Syndrome to the forefront of their Orthopaedics and Arthritis practice to ensure that patients suffering from this condition receive the care they need.
