We will begin by examining children’s conditions, including Hip Dysplasia, Perthes Disease, Slipped Upper Femoral Epiphysis and Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI). Looking at their aetiologies and analysing the symptoms and red-flags to look out for, we will be deciding on the best-practice investigations to request, in order to make an accurate diagnosis. Using case studies, Prof. Khan will be demonstrating how to identify these pathologies, utilising diagnostic imaging and physical examination. We will be weighing up the best treatments for each condition and deciding whether conservative management is sufficient for the child or whether surgery is necessary, keeping the child’s best interests in mind. 

We will then focus on adolescent hip pain. Prof. Khan will be advising us on the changes the body can go through, and how to recognise the presentation of an advanced condition. Residual dysplasia of the hip and femoral head deformities are two of the most prominent disorders which can cause problems in adults. We will explore the pathophysiology and epidemiology of the conditions, understanding how they develop, before learning how they can cause problems later on in life. We will again be assessing the best rehabilitation methods; both in operative and non-operative methods. 

Look out for the early signs in your patients, be they children or adults, and be equipped to deal with them even when complications arise. 

Schedule:

• Hip problems in children
• Sequelae to paediatric hip issues
• Management of hip problems in adults and children

Learning Outcomes:

• Understand the hip conditions which can develop in children and how you might have to deal with them differently, including investigations and management
• Enhance your knowledge on conditions which develop and can cause problems in adolescence and adulthood 
• Be able to recognise the best-practice management techniques depending on the condition and age of the patient
