Patient Presentation:
Patient presents as an 18-year-old female, Division I soccer midfielder with a history of 10 degree spinal asymmetry and history of a surgical repair for a right shoulder superior labrum from anterior to posterior (SLAP) tear. She initially presented with left hip pain after she tripped while running during a late season traveling game. She was removed for the remainder of the game and was treated with NSAIDs and ice for a presumed hip-flexor strain. She played the remaining travel games but upon returning home noticed persistent pain with worsening symptoms for one month. She underwent a left hip arthroscopy and labral repair, with resolution of symptoms for 1 year. During this year, she did not train at full capacity due to the soccer season disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic. She presented with recurrent left hip pain and stiffness after returning to full-capacity training with the start of season, and subsequently sought re-evaluation.
