Overview

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a leading cause of hip pain and dysfunction, particularly in active individuals. When conservative treatments fail and joint preservation is the goal, osteotomy has emerged as a powerful surgical option to address FAI, particularly in patients with significant deformities of the hip joint.

This "Open Access" webinar will explore the role of osteotomy in the management of FAI, delving into the indications, surgical techniques, and outcomes associated with this procedure. Expert surgeons will provide an in-depth overview of the different types of osteotomies, including periacetabular and femoral osteotomies, and how they can be tailored to individual patient needs based on the severity and type of impingement.

Through a combination of case studies, surgical videos, and expert commentary, participants will gain valuable insights into when and how osteotomy can be used to treat FAI, the key considerations for patient selection, and strategies for optimizing postoperative rehabilitation and outcomes. This session will also address the potential risks and complications of osteotomy, as well as how to manage patients long-term following surgery.

Learning Objectives

• Gain an in-depth understanding of osteotomy as a treatment for FAI, including the different types and techniques used.
• Learn how to select appropriate candidates for osteotomy based on clinical presentation and imaging findings.
• Understand the steps involved in performing osteotomy procedures and the key challenges that may arise.
• Explore postoperative management strategies and the role of rehabilitation in achieving optimal outcomes.
• Review the evidence supporting osteotomy for FAI and its role in long-term hip preservation.

Target Audience 

This webinar is intended for orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine specialists, physical therapists, and other healthcare professionals involved in the diagnosis and treatment of FAI, particularly those interested in joint-preserving surgical interventions.
