Do the prevalence of bifid iliopsoas tendon on MRI in children?
Bifid iliopsoas tendon is noted anecdotally by surgeons but was only reported in scattered case reports and a few anatomical studies until very recently. Our finding is that a bifid iliopsoas tendon with two distinct tendinous components at the level of the hip joint is quite common. This has clinical significance, particularly in children's orthopaedic surgery when an adequate iliopsoas release is important.
