Abstract
We recently reported on eight patients who had a snapping hip [1]. In all of those patients, a positive diagnostic test was elicited--that is, with the knee extended and the hip adducted, flexion of the hip produced a snap. An operation to lengthen the fascia lata relieved the symptoms in all eightKeywords
