Complaints in the region of the hips and pelvis are often difficult to classify. This is due to the fact that pain projection and overlapping can occur; therefore, the complete region of the lumbar spine, pelvis and hips must be considered as a single entity in which alterations can result in radiation throughout the whole region. There are many different anatomical structures within the pelvic region so that the function of various muscle components can be impaired and cause pathological alterations to positional relationships of bony structures or even alterations to other soft tissues, such as ligaments, tendons and labra. In terms of differential diagnostics the groin must be seen as the weak point of the peritoneum and vascular system and taken into consideration. Therefore, a detailed and targeted medical history, functional testing and specific examinations and tests are necessary to narrow down the pathology in question and reach a definitive diagnosis. Orthopedic surgeons must know which conspicuous features can lead to which problems and which anatomical structures are likely to be affected by irritation. The results of the clinical examination are the basis for targeted imaging diagnostics and subsequent therapy.
