Doc, See What I Can Do: Management of Hip Complaints in the Hyperlaxity Patient

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Josh Harris, a Methodist physician from Houston, discusses hip instability in this video. He emphasizes the importance of considering the patient's subjective symptoms, objective clinical exam, and imaging when diagnosing hip instability. Symptoms may include pain, giving out, shifting, and dislocating. Various sports and genetics can contribute to hip instability. Physical exams should focus on reproducing the patient's pain and assessing range of motion. Radiographs, CT scans, and MRI can provide valuable information on structural causes of instability. Dr. Harris advises against using arthroscopy for treating structural issues and encourages repairing the capsule. He also suggests measuring the strength of the labral suction seal and performing arthroscopic exams for evaluating instability.
