Conservative management of musculoskeletal conditions is universal recommendation. However, individual presentations exist in which collaborative management can enhance patient outcome. This course provides an overview of femoral acetabular impingement, hip arthroscopy, and post-operative rehabilitation. Concepts related to hip and lumbar differential examination, hip dysplasia, and pelvic floor considerations are also explored. A specific module is devoted to tendinopathies of the proximal lower quarter. Individual cases are highlighted to illustrate rehabilitation principles within case presentations.

The course contains content from a recent conference hosted and developed by HSS, which is a national ranked academic medical center focused on musculoskeletal health. HSS is among the top-ranked hospitals for both orthopedics and rheumatology.

Course Objectives/Outcomes

By the end of the course, a successful participant will be able to:

• Discriminate exam findings to differentiate intra-articular and extra-articular causes of an individual’s symptoms and functional complaints.
• Characterize anatomical causes of FAI and related physical impairments impacting functional loss and activity participation.
• Characterize the clinical entity known as hip dysplasia
• Explore the association of pelvic floor dysfunction and hip related pain and conditions
• Investigate common proximal lower extremities tendinopathies as an extra-articular cause for hip and related pain, functional limitation, and activity participation restriction
• Customize a phased and person-centered rehabilitation program with emphasis on return to function and activity participation.
