Hip Injuries in Female Rowers


Early morning rowers on the lake are a common sight in our hometown of Seattle. Most prior studies of rowing overuse injuries have focused on high rates of minor injuries to the lumbar spine, knee, wrist, and ribs. However, a recent paper in the journal Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research examined injuries to the hip in adolescent and young adult rowers. In a retrospective review, clinicians from the Blue Ridge Bone and Joint Clinic, Asheville, NC, identified 21 hips in 18 rowers, mean age of 18.5 years, with significant hip joint pathology. Most of the patients (85%) were female prep school or collegiate rowers, and they exhibited isolated groin pain and physical findings consistent with impingement. Eighteen of the 21 hips (85%) eventually underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair labral tears and other pathology.  However, only 10 of the patients returned to rowing after surgery (2 were lost to follow-up). The authors believe that the mechanism of injury may be the repeated hyperflexion of the hip which compresses the hip as the seat slides up and the blade is placed in the water at the catch. The hips both go from extreme flexion to extension thousands of times during practice and competition.


The bottom line of this study is that rowing may cause significant overuse injury in the hip that can limit future participation in the sport.  If a rower has early signs of hip pain, she should proceed cautiously and seek qualified help from an orthopedic specialist. A young rower with a history of hip disorders should be particularly vigilant.

  2. Over time your joints can age and movement can become painful, especially in your hips. Older men and women are more susceptible to this type of health difficulty. Whether you have just begun exploring treatment options or have already decided to undergo hip replacement surgery, you should consider information that can help you understand the benefits and limitations of total hip replacement.hip replacement cost

  5. Hi guys, this one is really great, very informative blog. Thanks for posting it here.

    Every one who undergoes a hip replacement operation will take a while before they go back the way they use to. In fact, some are successful and some are not.

  10. Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer,siva.Fatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
