About the Webinar

Part 1 Theory and background

Part 2: Patient case example and management

The hip joint is considered an inherently stable joint due to its bony shape and tight ligamentous structures. Nevertheless, morphological changes (dysplasia, cam / pincer morphology for example), as well as reduced integrity of passive structures (e.g. labral lesions) or lack of motor control are described in the literature to have the potential to lead to microinstabilities (MI).

MI is also discussed as a contributor to the development of hip osteoarthritis over a prolonged period of time, therefore recognition and appropriate management is crucial.
