Snapping Hip (Coxa Saltans) Classification and Treatment

Classify snapping hip syndrome: external (IT band over greater trochanter), internal (iliopsoas over iliopectineal eminence), and intra-articular (labral tear, loose body). Internal and external types respond to stretching; intra-articular requires hip arthroscopy.

Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.
