There are two main types of hip impingement defined by where deformity occurs in the joint: the femoral head or acetabulum. Prof. Khan will be delving into the aetiology of impingement and helping us to identify it. We will be learning about investigations for each type of deformity, such as spotting signs in your patients’ X-Rays and MRIs and palpating the hip.

Importantly, to make a differential diagnosis or a diagnosis of exclusion, we will be examining other types of hip pain common in children and adolescents. For instance, irritable hip or inflammation can be sudden and onset but also a sign of something more serious, such as a broken bone or infected joint.

Discussing techniques to treat impingement, we will look at activity modification, anti-inflammatory medications and physical therapy, as well as surgical treatment options, such as arthroscopy.

Case studies and patient histories will be used throughout the talk to aid in our understanding.
