Evolving Trends in Hip Preservation

The diagnosis and treatment of hip pain in young and active patients has evolved significantly over the past two decades. Conditions such as femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), hip dysplasia, and hip instability are increasingly recognized as important causes of pre-arthritic hip pain.

As research advances and surgical techniques improve, clinicians continue to refine decision-making around non-operative care, arthroscopic surgery, and structural correction procedures.

The State of Hip Preservation Report provides a comprehensive overview of these evolving trends.

Key Topics Covered in the Report

   Trends in femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) treatment


✔ Recognition and diagnosis of hip dysplasia


    Advances in hip arthroscopy techniques


✔ Non-operative management strategies for hip pain


   Imaging challenges in hip preservation


✔ International differences in hip preservation care


    Emerging research in hip preservation surgery

Why Hip Preservation Is Evolving

Greater awareness of pre-arthritic hip conditions has led to earlier diagnosis and improved treatment strategies. At the same time, evolving evidence has highlighted the importance of careful patient selection, thoughtful surgical indications, and comprehensive rehabilitation.

By examining current trends and research developments, the State of Hip Preservation Report aims to provide clinicians with a clearer understanding of how the field continues to evolve.
