Entrapment neuropathies of the hip region are characterized by pain, sensory loss or abnormalities, as well as limping and functional loss. These disorders may be confused with radiculopathy in clinical examinations; therefore diagnoses are often difficult and are frequently overlooked. As well as the improved diagnostic methods, clinical experience and mastering neuroanatomy are also important. In this paper, common entrapment neuropathies around the hip were reviewed in terms of anatomical and pathological factors.
