Part of the book series: European Instructional Lectures ((EICL,volume 11))

Abstract

In our experience, hip pain in the young adult is most often related to mechanical disorders, typically femoro-acetabular impingement or hip dysplasia. This article gives an overview on the underlying pathomechanical concepts, the diagnostic methods and the treatment options. In addition, the results of the various treatments are shortly presented and commented.
