Hip Exam

The prevalence of diagnosis and subsequent surgery for hip intra-articular pathology has skyrocketed to a 25-fold increase from 2006 to 2013. It has been suggested that such a large increase is due to limited understanding of clinical examination to discriminate intra- versus extra-articular hip pain. Diagnosis of athletic related hip and groin pain will cover how to screen for lumbar and pelvic girdle pathology, how to screen for extra-articular hip pathology and how to perform and interpret intra-articular hip clinical examination testing. The utilization of potential screening of the hip, as well as application of best evidence with clinical experience will be presented by Mike based on over 25 years of experience in this field.

01
Screening

Learn why hip and groin screening isn’t as straightforward as it seems, especially when imaging and clinical tests often flag “abnormalities” in people without pain. You’ll see how false positives can lead to overdiagnosis—and why knowing what to do with screening results matters just as much as finding them.

Suggestions

Learn how to assess hip and groin pain more effectively by matching your exam to the athlete’s history, symptoms, and sporting demands. Discover practical ways to distinguish intra-articular from extra-articular problems while keeping rehabilitation progressive, individualized, and focused on safe return to activity.

Diagnostic Testing

Learn how clinicians distinguish the many causes of athletic groin pain, from adductor and iliopsoas problems to intra-articular hip disorders like FAI syndrome. You’ll also uncover which tests and risk factors truly matter, where imaging helps, and why a full clinical picture is essential for accurate diagnosis.
