Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome: Background, Diagnosis,
Risk Factors (Recorded Webinar)
Presented by Alexis Wright
Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is an intriguing and somewhat challenging diagnosis for the healthcare practitioner. While still fairly new to the scene in terms of diagnoses, new evidence surrounding the epidemiology, structural adaptations, and diagnosis of FAIS is constantly evolving as more research comes to fruition. This webinar will highlight the latest evidence with regard to epidemiology, who is at risk, structural adaptations secondary to load, and clinical diagnosis of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome.
Learning Objectives
- Identify the components necessary to diagnose FAI syndrome according to new definitions
- Recognize epidemiology and the development of structural adaptations in patients with FAI syndrome
- Recognize risk factors associated with the development of FAI syndrome
- Highlight the pathomechanics underlying FAI syndrome
- Identify the best clinical findings consistent with a diagnosis of FAIS
