Part 1 of this article described the hip morphology associated with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and how to accurately identify FAI syndrome (FAIS) using the triad of symptoms, clinical signs and imaging findings. This article, Part 2, moves on to discuss treatment of FAIS. The current literature and evidence is clarified, allowing you to prescribe exercises for conservative management and, if necessary, to know when and how to discuss progression to surgery and its potential outcomes, enabling the patient to participate in a shared decision-making process.

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is not a new idea but hip arthroscopy has allowed identification and surgical treatment of a greater number of patients. This increase is also partly the result of the confusion use of terminology which has resulted in ‘morphology’ being mistaken for ‘pathology’. This article clearly describes the difference between these two states, with a clear definition for the pathological state of FAI syndrome (FAIS), as well as the battery of tests needed to exclude or include a diagnosis of FAIS. This allows you to be confident about deciding whether FAIS is the cause of your patient’s hip/groin pain or not, enabling them to potentially avoid unnecessary and invasive surgery. Additionally, the article explains how the cam morphology is thought to occur, allowing you to advise children and adolescents on their activity levels during the crucial ‘growth spurt’ stage and so reduce the risk of cam development.

It is now understood that that poor thorax biomechanics can play a role in multiple conditions and at regions far removed from it. This article describes the Integrated Systems Model approach for holistic assessment and treatment of your patients and a case study demonstrates how it can be used to identify the previously unsuspected (and, therefore, untreated) involvement of the thorax in a recurrent hamstring injury. Understanding and applying this biopsychosocial approach will enable you to find all the drivers of your patient’s injury and treat them in a meaningful way, so allowing your patient to get back to doing what they love. This article has been extracted from the author’s book The Thorax – An Integrated Approach.
