Abstract
A 48-year-old man reported right hip pain and low back pain and was referred to physical therapy by an orthopaedic surgeon after magnetic resonance imaging revealed an L1-2 symmetrical disc bulge. His chief complaint was worsening right groin pain. Following examination, the patient attended 3 treatment visits; however, each visit exacerbated the patient's groin pain, so the physical therapist recommended the patient return to his surgeon for hip imaging. Radiographs revealed a right proximal femur osseous lesion. Magnetic resonance imaging was subsequently performed, and a biopsy established the diagnosis of osteosarcoma.<i>J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2020;50(4):214. doi:10.2519/jospt.2020.9131</i>.
