Hip Impingement: Understanding FAI and Labral Tears

In response to a request, we share valuable resources for learning about femoral acetabular impingement (FAI) and labral tears, addressing the knowledge gap many clinicians face with these conditions.

• Four essential resource categories: research literature, clinical specialists, surgical resources, and academic educators
• Key research documents include the Warwick Agreement and Doha Agreement on diagnostic criteria for FAI
• Following clinicians like Dan, Mike Ryman, and Mike Voigt who combine research with extensive clinical experience
• Surgical textbooks like "Hip Preservation Surgery" provide valuable insights despite their cost 
• Observing actual hip surgeries offers unparalleled perspective on the procedure and recovery process
• Understanding imaging measurements (alpha angle, lateral center edge angle) improves communication with surgeons
• Interdisciplinary conferences and continuing education courses provide opportunities for professional networking
• Watching a family member recover from surgery builds empathy for what patients experience beyond clinical visits

Your best approach to mastering hip FAI and labral tear management is to combine evidence, clinical expertise, surgical knowledge, and academic insights while applying this systematized approach to any joint or condition.
