Practical aspects of examination and management of hip and groin injuries

Abstract

Diagnosis and management of hip and groin injuries in sports medicine can seem complex and overwhelming because of the complex anatomy and wide range of injuries that occur. Te aim of this workshop is to simplify the process for primary care physicians. The main causes of hip and groin pain will be discussed initially, looking at acute and chronic causes in both adults and the paediatric/adolescent population. The main part of the workshop will focus on examination techniques for this lower limb pathology and participants will be given the opportunity to practise these techniques.
