Abstract: When a patient who's physically active complains of hip pain, don't be too quick to label it a "hip pointer" that requires time and rest to heal. Consider this more nuanced-and effective-approach.

Abstract: A hip pointer is a contusion of the iliac crest and/or the greater trochanteric region of the femur following a direct impact or collision. The management of these injuries requires coordinated care between athletic trainers, clinical providers, and primary care and sports medicine specialists. The majority of these injuries improve with standard, first-line nonoperative management modalities.
