Learning Objectives

• Differentiate between sport-specific hip pathology patterns, recognizing the unique injury mechanisms associated with impingement, hypermobility, endurance, and contact sports.
• Identify cam morphology and its origins, understanding the manner in which high-impact loading in adolescence influences femoroacetabular impingement progression.
• Explore the pathophysiology of, diagnostic evaluation of, imaging of, and treatment approaches for hip instability in athletes with hypermobility, using dynamic ultrasonography, neuromuscular control strategies, and selective capsular interventions for optimal stabilization.
• Diagnose and manage stress fractures and impingement syndromes in endurance athletes, ensuring early detection of high-risk injuries to prevent complications.
• Apply advanced imaging techniques and diagnostic injections to differentiate intra-articular hip pathology from extra-articular hip pathology and guide treatment planning.
• Develop comprehensive rehabilitation and return-to-sport protocols, balancing hip stability, mobility, and biomechanical efficiency to optimize athletic performance.
