The examination of athletes with low back pain commonly involves diagnostic imaging, which rarely guides the clinician in selecting the appropriate interventions. Data Acquisition: All years of PubMed, CINAHL, PEDro, and SPORTDiscus were searched in December 2010. Keywords included treatment based classification and lumbar with the following terms: rehabilitation, treatment, athlete, low back pain, sports, and outcomes. Results: A treatment-based classification approach is preferred for the management of the athlete with low back pain. The treatment-based classification approach involves 3 steps. First is to screen the patient for potentially serious conditions that are not appropriate for conservative management. Second is staging the athlete (based on current disability ratings and ability to perform functional activities). Finally, treatment interventions are s...

He complained of progressively worsening right hip pain. Physical examination findings were consistent with a positive sign of the buttock. A triple-bone scan showed increased radio-pharmaceutical activity, which is consistent with infection. Subsequent aspiration of the right hip revealed infection, which was treated with antibiotics before the patient underwent a revision total hip arthroplasty.
