AB  - Every  practicing  emergency  physician  over  his  or  her  career  will  see  hundreds  of  patients  with  complaints  of  hip  or  knee  pain  that  are  unrelated  to  major  trauma  or  an  acute  fracture.  Discomfort  and  limitations  to  normal  use  in  these  areas  are  typically  related  to  the  minor  trauma  that  occurs  on  a  repetitive  basis  from  performing  routine  daily  functions  or  exercising.  Athletes  of  all  varieties  are  especially  prone  to  these  maladies,  where  strenuous  activity  transmits  forces  that  are  equivalent  to  three  to  five  times  the  body  weight  directly  to  these  major  joints.  Conversely,  the  problem  of  obesity  similarly  contributes  to  joint  and  supporting  structural  stress  and  pain.1
