Where this comes from

Abstract

A snapping hip is a common problem in children and young adults. The common etiologies of the syndrome have been well described. We believe that habitual dislocation may be a more frequent cause of the snapping hip syndrome than has been previously described. We report two cases of this rarely reported clinical entity presenting as a snapping hip.
