Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome:
Background, Diagnosis, Risk Factors

Presented by Alexis Wright

Description

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.
