Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI): The Effectiveness of Physical Therapy

Withdrawn before enrolling

Conditions studied: Femoroacetabular Impingement

In brief

The treatment of femoroacetabular impingement has evolved over the last several years. As the number of arthroscopic hip operations has risen over the last few years, so has the level controversy in regards to the appropriate initial management. There have been many recent advances in clinical diagnosis, advanced imaging techniques, improved indications for surgery and improved arthroscopic techniques which have led to improved clinical outcomes, but the effectiveness of physical therapy remains unknown.
