Abstract
Tendinopathies of the hip are a differential diagnostic challenge. The spatial proximity of these structures is challenging and many of the structures are located in very deep positions in an individual-specific manner and are covered by other tissues resulting in difficult accessibility for a clinical examination. Furthermore, the definition of the different syndromes is not consistent in the literature, which makes a comparability and assessment difficult. This article demonstrates the most frequent tendinopathies and associated syndromes with their typical clinical presentation, diagnostics and therapy options. Finally, a critical assessment of these aspects is presented based on the current literature.Entities:
