Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome: Surgical
or Conservative Treatment

Presented by Alexis Wright

Description

There has been a twenty-five-fold increase in the number of hip arthroscopies performed between 2006 and 2013 primarily in response to improved diagnosis and treatment of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). With that said, new evidence is coming to light suggesting that conservative management may be equally effective. This webinar will review current evidence regarding surgical versus conservative management of FAIS. We will also highlight evidence regarding current approaches to treating FAIS and discuss optimization of exercise prescription using an evidence-informed global-systems approach.
