Abstract
Pain after total hip arthroplasty can be due to a variety of causes, one of the less common being iliopsoas tendonitis. We report an unusual case of iliopsoas tendonitis caused by overhang of the femoral calcar by a collared femoral prosthesis resulting in impingement on the iliopsoas tendon. An ultrasound-guided corticosteroid and local anesthetic diagnostic injection to the site of impingement confirmed the diagnosis with temporary symptom relief. Revision of the femoral stem to a collarless prosthesis resulted in immediate and complete resolution of symptoms.
