Physician Assistant and prior C&P examiner Leah Bucholz discusses about Hip Pain Secondary to Knee Injuries in Veterans Disability.
Leah discusses the connection between hip pain and knee injuries in the context of VA disability. She emphasizes that hip pain can be service-connected either directly (due to an injury sustained while on active duty) or secondarily, where an existing service-connected condition, like a knee injury, leads to hip problems. Using her own experience with a foot injury leading to hip pain, she illustrates how impairments in one area can impact others. Leah highlights research on how knee osteoarthritis affects hip and ankle mechanics and the significance of the kinetic chain theory, indicating that issues in one joint can influence adjacent joints.
