Top Clinical Tips on Hip Dysplasia! ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿคธโ€โ™€๏ธโšฝ๏ธ ๐ŸŽช Hip Dysplasia is a common cause of debilitating hip and groin pain which is frequently overlooked or missed during initial assessment and diagnosis. As healthcare professionals, we have a significant amount more to learn and understand about effectively identifying, managing, and rehabilitating these complex musculoskeletal conditions, particularly in the athletic population who place high demands on their hip joints. Clinical insights from Specialist Hip physio @mikejmobrien based on his PhD research.

Grateful for the opportunity to travel to Oxford and present at @YAHiRCollab. A reminder that there is a huge disconnect between who is being studied and who is being affected by cam morphology. Need for more of a focus on females! #AthletesHip24
