Advanced Management of the Hip Joint Complex (Feb 20, 2027)

Advanced Management of the Hip Joint Complex is organized by Summit Professional Education and will be held on Feb 20, 2027 in Laguna Hills, California, United States of America.

Description:
To further understand the patient presenting with hip/groin pain, we need to understand what characteristics lead to the initial development of this painful condition. This discussion will take you through risk factors for development, movement characteristics, objective/subjective findings within this patient population, and how to organize your evaluation. Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome is a complicated, and misunderstood pathology. This course will take you through the associated patient characteristics, evaluation findings, and radiological criteria needed for anaccurate diagnosis. Participants will discuss the current literature regarding both conservative and surgical management of patients with labral tears and/or FAI. At the end of this discussion, participants will understand what the subjective history and special testing can tell us, and what it cannot. Participants will also understand how this condition is best managed as a syndrome.

Learning Objectives:

1. Implement a skilled orthopedic examination of hipimpairments inclusive of intraarticular and extra-articular pathology.
2. Select appropriate interventions for the femoroacetabular complex.
