Shoulder Injuries

Common athletic hip injuries include labral tears due to hip impingement and hamstring tendon tears. Stress fractures and avulsion fractures are usually managed by the orthopaedic trauma service. Gluteus medius/minimus tears may occur due to tendon degeneration and some full thickness tears may benefit from repair.
