Conclusion
In conclusion, an unruptured AAA may be an atypical cause of posterior hip and low back pain. Orthopaedic providers should include an unruptured AAA on the differential for a patient presenting with these concerns, particularly in the context of significant cardiac and vascular history, significant risk factors, and negative orthopaedic findings on physical exam. Additionally, orthopaedic providers should focus on a holistic approach to patient care, considering all aspects of the history of present illness, past medical history, family history, social history, and physical exam when exploring differential diagnoses.
